17. Other Modules

The board also contains other useful peripherals such as

PIN photodiode,

IR receiver,

RGB led diode and

analog

temperature sensor. PIN photodiode is a type of photo detector. It has high sensitivity and response speed. It is connected to the

microcontroller analog pin RB8. IR receiver is used in infrared remote control systems. The demodulated output signal obtained from

IR module can be directly decoded by a microcontroller. Many of standard data formats are supported. RGB (Red, Green, Blue) diode

can be used as a light indicator. Each color is driven separately by transistor. The analog temperature sensor converts temperature to

analog voltage. It is directly connected to the microcontroller RB9 analog pin. Temperature measurement range of mikromedia+ for

PIC32MX7

board is from -20° C to 70° C.
