board. User generated article on creating a dual temperature
datalogger Another user article converting between integers and
hexadecimal values. Introducing our newsletter archive, allowing
readers to view back issues of the newsletter. Three articles
updated in the articles section of the Learning Centre RS485 Using
the EB062 E-block Using Custom Images in Flowcode MIAC Controlled
Underfloor Heating Chance to win £150 of Matrix goods in our Web
& Social Networking Questionnaire - Anyone can enter! Matrix ECIO:
USB-programmable single board computers. Release of the brand
new EB069 - Wireless LAN E-block
The wireless LAN E-block board allows easy access to standard
Wireless local area networks. The onboard TCP/IP stack allows for
easy communications withouth the need for a TCP/IP stack on the
microcontroller. The board is capable of being a client or a server
on a network, meaning that the E-block board can also be used to host
a wireless network. The board is also capable of serving html and
javascript compatible webpages in either mode.
The board is priced at £110.00

User Article: Dual Channel Temperature Data Logger
Author: John Crow
In this article John shows us how he designed a dual channel
temperature data logger using Matrix E-blocks, some custom hardware
and the Flowcode programming language. In the article he breaks down
the various macros he used and explains the programming thought
process behind each one. Included in the article is the Flowcode file
itself allowing you to view the program in full. John will receive
£150 worth of free Matrix products for the submission of his
article! If you have an interesting project using Matrix products and
would like some free goods, write an article and submit it to us or
post on the forums to maybe have it published!

User Article: Converting between Int and Hex
Author: Martin Whitlock
One common occurance in programming is having to switch between using
integers and hexadecimal values, either when sending data via RS232
or other similar occurances. What Martin has done is create a
flowchart which anyone can use and put into their program which will
allow them to convert between integers and hex values. In the article
itself Martin explains the program and the reasoning behind some of
his decisions. Martin will receive £150 worth of free Matrix
products for the submission of his article!

ECIO - USB programmable single board computer
Back in 2007 we brought out a great little device we called an ECIO - http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/ecio.php . These
are small inexpensive, stand-alone, directly reprogrammable
microcontrollers that are ideal for getting started with
microcontroller programming. They can be used in protoboards or
embedded directly onto your PCB to provide a truly flexible way of
developing your application. You can program them directly from
Flowcode or use any other language of your choice.
- Programmable via USB - Consistent footprint
- Easy to use - Very low cost - Has its own bootloader -
Reset switch - 24kb flash memory - 2kb RAM
Fast forward to 2011 and it seems that everyone has brought out an
ECIO-like product, so this seems like a good time to remind everyone
of our ECIO product range, however only ECIO is directly compatible
with Flowcode; and you can use even your ECIO with your existing
E-blocks using the EB061 Application Board. - http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/product.php?Prod=E-blocks%20application%20board
