CY545 Stepper System Controller

The CYB-003 Prototyping Board
Those CY545 applications that use the CY325 and liquid crystal display, are well supported by a
second prototyping board from Cybernetic Micro Systems, the CYB-003 board. This board
contains the interface circuits and connections to support the CY325 and display unit. The board
is the same size as the popular 711 LCD display, which is 8 lines by 40 characters.
The board contains a socket that will accept the CY545, and allows it to communicate serially
with the CY325. Also included are an RS-232 interface and RJ-11 jacks for serial connection to
the board. A wire wrap area makes it possible to add the motor driver interface, the local
external memory, and thumbwheel switch interface for the CY545.
The combination of the CYB-003 board, with the CY545, CY325, and any interface logic, plus
the 711 display, makes a very compact stepper controller system. This is especially useful in
stand alone applications, where the local memory holds the CY545 stepping routines, and the
CY325 plus display are used for the operator interface, status display, and prompting
messages.
