Welcome to Sirius microSystems!
Sirius microSystems specializes in designing and producing custom embedded control products based on the Microchip PICmicro® family of microcontrollers. Our products are designed to help you or your students learn about electronics and microcontroller programming. We care about education. Check out our exciting new circuits!
CHRP
CHRP
CHRP stands for Common Hardware Robotics Project. CHRP grows with you as you learn about microcontrollers, robotics, and computer interfacing. It's a great starting point if you want to learn all about PICmicro® programming and make your own projects.
UFO
UFO
It's round and has flashing lights. It must be an Unidentified Flashing Object! The UFO is a simple circuit that uses a microcontroller to flash LED lights. UFO is a fun and easy beginner project that's also easily hackable.
Details coming soon.
BMP
BMP
This one really can go 'BMP' in the night. The Beginner's Multipurpose Project is almost as flexible and programmable as the CHRP, in a smaller and simpler package. You can build and program BMP to be a line following robot, light-seeking (or avoiding) robot, TV-remote controlled robot, light activated 'cricket', locker alarm, and more!
Details coming soon.
What's new?
2008-08-12 - We will be presenting a hands-on CHRP robotics session at the CEMC Summer Institute for Computer Studies Teachers at University of Waterloo.
2008-07-24 - CHRP2.0 prototypes are in development. The CHRP2.0 will be able to use the PICkit-2 programmer, and will take advantage of the in-circuit debugging features of Microchip's newer PIC16F886 microcontroller.
