Shown here is a detailed look at the board that comes in the LAPIS development kit. There are two independent microcontrollers on this board, one ML610Q111 and one 112. Just above each device is a Raspberry Pi expansion socket that is associated with that micro. If designers have a Raspberry Pi compliant peripheral board, it can be plugged into one of these sockets and the microcontroller associated with that socket can take the place of the Raspberry Pi board. All of the IO from each of the micros is available just below the micro. This makes it easy to connect any signal from the micro to the prototyping area, where users can place circuits that they may want to evaluate. There is a section of the board that manages voltages, so the power for the micros can be selected to be supplied from the USB port or the Debug port, and the voltage level to the micros can be selected to be 3.3V or 5.0V. The Debug port is where the nano Ease, or micro Ease, would connect to the board, and the USB port would connect to a USB port on your PC. The USB data is converted to UART signals and can be directed to either of the micros. The ROHM and LAPIS teams are constantly developing peripheral boards for the LAPIS development kit. The first board they are designing and building is a sensor board which will include accelerometers from their sister company Kionix, UV light sensors, as well as ambient light and temperature sensors. There is also a socket for LAPIS semiconductors Bluetooth Low Energy module.
