BLDC and PIM modules added to RS Components’ EDP

In our earlier encounter with the Embedded Development Platform (EDP) from RS Components published in the December 2008 issue it was already mentioned that RS had more modules in the pipeline for release in 2009. Two of these, the BLDC (brushless DC) motor controller and the PIM (plug-in module) adapter for Microchip MCUs recently arrived for review here at Elektor labs. Green boards this time, of solid build quality, ready to plug on to the ‘stations’ provided on the baseboard.
