USB Input Output Module - DACIO 300 - Starter

This is a USB digital input output board for data logging and data acquisition. It is a DACIO Quick Starter Board based on the DACIO 300 series modules.

You shall need to add the DACIO 300 MPU ( item 6203 )and you can power/communicate via the 6 Way Header using your own FTDI USB to TTL 6 Way cable (+5V VCC & I/O) or add one to the cart with the DACIO starter board - see (2472) or 7 Way cable (2469).

Extra (optional) accessories which you might find useful are also available i.e. 8 Red LED & Resistor Pack / 8 Clear Green LED & Resistor Pack shall help you make a line of flashing LEDs when using the DACIO starter board and example code.

Even without the additional addons, you have a quick starter development module ready to use and affordable.

Each I/O is individually configurable.

The DACIO 300 Quick Starter Board features 8 10-bit A/D and a high speed 115.2kbps serial interface when used with the MPU.

Note that the DACIO MPU powered at 3.3V (or e.g. DACIO 303) is directly compatible with the 3.3V logic from a Raspberry Pi.

The advanced design features unmatched power and ease of use at a
budget price. These PC interfacing RS232 IO boards are useful for applications
requiring a serial to parallel (and parallel to serial) converter.

It is ideal for use in computer controlled systems, for digital/analogue data
acquisition, robotics, automatic testing equipment, process control or
for experimental and educational purposes.

This RS232 IO card features industry standard RS232 line drivers.
Baud: 115200 bps - others available on request.

Flexible and easy to remember bit, byte or 16-bit instructions.
Full (but suppressible) error reporting. Error LED.

Quickstart guide, default settings, LED demo and powerful trace
feature gets you up and running in minutes! Intelligent on-board micro
communicates with a Terminal program on the host computer
allowing you to run demos or try out all the features by typing
commands manually.

Simple module configuration.
