Increased customisation options enhance MCU range

In addition to the updated and improved web server functionalities, the product now comes with an easy-to-use programming software called ‘Grape’ which allows simple implementation of ideas using a graphical flowchart.

During graphical programming, graphic symbols are displayed together with the relevant ‘C’-Code.

This permits accurate control over system communication and makes it an ideal tool for fast familiarisation with the higher programming language ‘C’.  

Also new to the C-Control PRO offering is the Arduino compatible UNO Design allowing the easy integration of pin-compatible Arduino expansion shields.

The controller board features three connector slots for Grove sensor and extension modules. Conrad offers a large variety of over 30 competitively priced modules including a C-Control Library for easy integration.  

To provide even greater flexibility, Conrad has also introduced two additional controller boards with Arduino UNO Design: the C-Control PRO Duino with free and intuitive C-Control PRO IDE (Integrated Development environment) and the C-Control PRO Duino OPEN, utilising the Open Source programming environment for Arduino.   

Another highlight is the Arduino compatible C-Control OPEN – a controller board with Wi-Fi connectivity. This product is ideal for applications within the Internet of Things (IoT).

Using simple AT commands, it is possible to interact with a variety of different server solutions and to utilise this device as an access point, to form a connection in variety of network set-ups. 

Markus Obermeier, Product Manager, Category Business Supplies: “These new additions to the C-Control range join a rapidly growing selection of microcontroller and automation devices designed by Conrad. We expect them to appeal to professionals and enthusiasts alike, who are seeking high quality controller boards at an affordable price, yet who do not wish to compromise on quality and design.”
