Specializing
in the development and manufacture of products for people with disabilities,
Orbit Research’s mission is to employ cutting-edge technology to bring to the
community at affordable prices, products that are essential for an independent
and productive lifestyle. Orbit Research and the American Printing House for the Blind (APH) have teamed up to introduce the Orion TI-84 Plus,
the World's first fully accessible handheld graphing calculator.
The Orion TI-84 Plus consists of a compact accessory that is attached to the top of the
TI-84 Plus and enables a user who is visually impaired to interact with the TI-84 Plus using speech, audio, and haptic (vibration) feedback. All textual and symbolic information on the screen, as well as each key-press is spoken using high-quality synthesized speech. Most importantly, graphs can be explored using either spoken announcements or the SonoGraph™ audio and haptic feedback. The user can also review the contents of the screen at any time,
including all text and graphical information, without affecting the calculation. The unit is fully expandable with hardware accessories through a USB port and can also print or emboss graphs when connected to a printer or braille embosser.
The Orion TI-84 Plus uses the synthetic text-to-speech (TTS) FonixTalk software from SpeechFX.
Dismantling
the ORION TI-84 Plus Module reveals a printed circuit board (PCB) design
with only 3 main Integrated Circuits:| •
STM32F405VG Main CPU • STM32F205RE Secondary CPU • Cirrus CS43L22 Audio DAC |
The
picture on the right is for the Main CPU of the ORION TI-84 Plus Module, a STM32F405VG
single-chip controller centered around
an ARM Cortex-M4 core with floating point unit and typically running at 168 MHz.
The device integrates both 1,024k Bytes of Flash-ROM and 192k Bytes of RAM.
The
next picture on the right is for the Secondary CPU of the ORION TI-84 Plus
Module, a STM32F205REsingle-chip controller centered around an ARM Cortex-M3 core,
typically running at 120 MHz.
The device integrates both 512k Bytes of Flash-ROM and 128k Bytes of RAM.
The
picture on the right is the Cirrus CS43L22, a stereo Digital-Analog Converter
(DAC) with integrated headphone and Class D speaker amplifiers.
