Lures

Breakout boards called "Lures" expand functionality of the MinnowBoard MAX by connecting to either the low- or high-speed expansion connectors. Lures are owned and supported by their respective owners and manufacturers. The community can give you best effort support; issues should be taken to the respective manufacturers and designers.

Minnowboard MAX Lure Information

Lures are owned and supported by their respective owners and manufacturers. If you have issues the community can only give you best effort support, but issues should be taken to the respective manufacturers and designers.

Lures In production (currently available)

These are lures that are currently available, and obtainable in a pre-built state.

Drone Lure

This is a relatively narrow board, originally, intended to allow the MinnowBoard MAX / Turbot to be used as the primary controller for flying drones (UAVs, quadcopters, etc). It has on built 15 PWMs (accessible via an I2C PCA9685 chip), status led (RGB), 6-axis accelerometer / gyroscope / compass, etc. Outside of drones, it's also been used for various non-flying robotics as well. Features: RGB LED PWM Accelerometer Gyroscope Compass Produced by: Intel Additional Information: Drone Lure Wiki Page Licensed: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 United States (CC-BY 4.0 US)

Ethernet and USB switcher Lure

Ethernet and USB port switcher Lure for the Low Speed Expansion (LSE) header. Features: Emulates the physical disconnection of Ethernet and USB ports for a device connected to this Lure Helps to remotely setup testing environments, testing tasks, etc. Produced by: Jose Navarro Additional Information: N/A Licensed: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 United States (CC BY-SA 3.0 US)

Prototype Lure

Generic Prototype Area on 0.1" grids

Cancelled

These are lures that do not have build files available, but information pertaining to them is still pertinent.

Ika Lure

The Ika lure takes the existing low speed I/O and expands it (through I2C chips) to allow for an Arduino compatible shield to be used with the MinnowBoard MAX. Features: Electrically Arduino Compatible 3.3v & 5.5v tolerant (flipped via jumpers) Produced by: CircuitCo Additional Information

Note: Board was cancelled, though some boards were made available at various conferences as give aways.
