uSPa 11 | Patch Sensor Series

The uSkin Patch sensors are our regular sensor models and the basis for our other models. 

By default, our regular patch sensor modules come in five different shapes and sizes. However, these can be modified for your specific application.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Price

Since our sensors are highly customisable and different for each individual application, the price varies.

Microcontroller Details

In addition to our sensor modules, you also need uSmc (microcontrollers) to read our sensor signals.
Cable Lengths (in cm)
30, 50, 90 (between sensor and uSmc)
Connection Options
Up to 10 uSPa 11, uSPa 21 and uSPa 22 can be connected to the same uSmc with our custom break out board.

Each uSPa 44 and uSPa 46 needs its own uSmc.
Connecting to PC
Up to 15 uSmc can be daisy chained (connected one to the other), and only one of them needs to be connected to the PC with a CAN2USB converter. 

For Windows and LINUX, we currently suggest the esd CAN-USB/2. If you only require LINUX, we recommend the VScom USB-CAN Plus.

MBED

Mirco Controller

Provides directly USB output, and can therefore be directly connected to a PC.

Each MBED needs to be connected individually to a PC.

The 4x6 sensor module is not compatible with the MBED.

This is a good configuration if you have only a few sensor modules.

CAN

Mirco Controller

Each microcontroller can be connected to more sensor modules, and the microcontrollers can be daisy-chained so that only one of them needs to be connected to a PC.

This is a good configuration if you want to read out more sensor modules with minimal wiring.

CAN2USB

Add On

This requires an additional CAN2USB converter, which is not included in the package. The CAN2USB converter is not included in the price of the sensor module.
