1.3 Description
The BOS1901-KIT is a development kit to support users who want to get familiarized with the BOS1901 piezo
haptic driver IC.
The USB powered kit appears as an USB audio device for the computer, which allows the rapid generation of
waveforms using existing audio software like Audacity® for haptic prototyping. Each breakable miniature PCB
gives access to all signals allowing the user to experiment with the BOS1901 using a development platform of
his/her choice.
