Scamp
Interact directly with hardware. Debug in real time. Code in a tiny footprint that runs on the metal. Develop the way you want. This is Embedded the way it's supposed to be.
Scamp is a self-contained Forth computer that you can use as the computing engine for your projects. It's easy to interface, and easy and quick to program using Forth, the world's best embedded programming language.
To use a Scamp, you don't need to install any IDEs, compilers or development tools. FlashForth is preinstalled. Everything runs directly on Scamp, and all you need is a host computer with a USB interface and some terminal software.
Scamp has an I/O connector that makes it very easy to interface to external devices.
You can add switches, buttons, control knobs, LEDs, and other electronics modules just by plugging them in.
It can be interfaced to many of the modules that are available for Arduinos and similar embedded systems.
Writing software to use other hardware is very easy, and fun. You can interactively talk with peripheral hardware, so debugging is very fast and efficient. You can see what is going on.
Scamps can be used on a breadboard or standalone.
Capabilities
The Scamp is a versatile and feature-rich platform for embedded systems development. With its impressive specifications, it opens up a wide range of possibilities for various applications.
USB Console
The USB console provides a convenient interface for interacting with the Scamp, making it Forth accessible for both development and debugging.
GPIO (General-Purpose Input/Output)
GPIO pins offer flexibility for interfacing with external devices and sensors, expanding the range of applications, from robotics to sensor data acquisition.
UARTs
Multiple UARTs are useful for communication with other devices, sensors, or modules. For example, you could interface with GPS modules, RFID readers, LoRa/BT/WiFi modules, satellite modems or other microcontrollers.
Multi Channel ADC
The ADC allows you to convert analog signals from sensors into digital data, enabling measurements and data acquisition for various purposes, such as environmental monitoring or sensor networks.
I2C and SPI
These communication interfaces are invaluable for connecting to a wide range of peripherals and sensors, expanding the Scamp's capabilities further. Scamp comes with full support for I2C and SPI builtin.
Multi Channel 16-bit PWM
PWM outputs can be used for motor control, LED dimming, or generating precise analog signals in applications like robotics and automation.
LED Array
The LED array can be used for debugging, visual feedback, status indicators, or as a user interface element in applications like data logging, monitoring, or control systems.
RS485/Modbus
Commonly used in industrial and agricultural applications, RS485 (Scamp3e) provides robust and noise-resistant networking, ideal for industrial settings. It enables long-distance data transmission and supports multi-node connections, simplifying network setups.
2M Dataflash
The Scamp3e's Dataflash serves as a versatile storage solution in embedded systems. It is suitable for storing critical information, logging sensor data, and recording event logs. It can be used in applications like environmental and agricultural data loggers, industrial automation, and remote sensing devices. The SPI interface ensures fast and efficient data transfer, making it valuable in systems where real-time data processing is essential.
Temperature Sensor
The onboard temperature sensor enables Scamp to monitor environmental conditions, making it suitable for applications like environmental monitoring, industrial automation, or HVAC control.
Digital Signal Modulator
This feature is valuable for generating and modulating digital signals, which can be applied in applications like telecommunications, audio processing, or signal analysis.
Hardware Random Number Generator
A hardware RNG enhances the Scamp's security capabilities, making it suitable for applications that require secure data encryption or authentication.
Forth Preinstalled with API
The inclusion of Forth with an API simplifies and accelerates development, making it easier for programmers to harness the Scamp's capabilities. Forth's direct hardware access is a significant advantage for embedded systems development.
