VSHLD-EMR

The VSHLD-EMR is a FTDI Vinco Ethernet MP3 RTC Shield, designed to connect directly to the FTDI Vinco development PCB. The shield will allow the Vinculum-II (VNC2) device on the Vinco PCB to access an Ethernet port which uses the Wiznet W5100 chipset, audio files using the VLSI VS1053b CODEC and access a Real Time Clock using the NXP PCF32123 device. These 3 functions are accessed via the VNC2 SPI Master mode. Vinco is a development module based on the FTDI Vinculum-II (VNC2) dual channel USB host/slave controller IC. Vinco is designed as a prototyping platform for VNC2 based designs and applications. The mechanical form of the module and the concept of providing free software development library and tools, is inspired by the Arduino concept. Vinco is a superset of the Duemilanove/Uno with 2 extra rows of headers providing an extra 10 pins.
