USB IO Board Kit
USB IO Board is a tiny spectacular input / output development board (parallel port replacement) that can be used for controlling many different devices as well as data acquisition such as collecting data from sensors, buttons, voltage/current measurements, etc. It is based around single PIC18F2550 microcontroller chip that includes 10x 10-bit Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) for precision voltage/current measurements. Controlling USB IO Board is easy. When attached to Windows PC USB IO Board will show up as RS232 COM serial port. You can control 16 individual microcontroller I/O pins by sending simple serial commands or write your own custom C#/VB.NET application. USB IO Board is self-powered by USB port and can provide up to 500mA for your project needs. USB IO Board is breadboard compatible. Simply solder included 12-PIN & 8-PIN male headers on the bottom side of the PCB and the board can be plugged into a breadboard for quick prototyping. USB IO Board is compatible with Windows 10, 8, 7 (32/64-bit), XP, VISTA, Win2K, Mac OSX and Linux.
