MB Adaptor

mikroBUS meets MatesBUS

The MB Adaptor provides any board supporting the mikroBUS™ socket with a MatesBUS interface to connect any TIMI or REPTOR models directly.

The only interface to the MatesBUS is a 3.3V-level Asynchronous Serial UART, which communicates between the Host and the connected device on the MatesBUS. The reset to the MatesBUS is also connected to the RST of the microBUS.

The MB Adaptor features a 5-pin programming header, which allows the connected device to be programmed directly using the Mates Programmer. A selection switch allows switching between normal operations and programming mode, allowing the TIMI to be programmed without removing it from the Adaptor.

MatesBUS

A Compact and Easy-to-Use Bus System

The Breadboard Mates series introduces the MatesBUS – a bus system designed specifically for easy integration with products and devices.

Its compact size and standard male and female headers make it accessible and easy to integrate. By adding a MatesBUS compatible header to a development platform or product, it allows easy connection of a MatesBUS product to that platform.
