A digital I/O carrier board is available for the Raspberry Pi single-board computer, enabling the Pi to sense or switch up to 16 individually selectable electrical loads ranging from 2.5 to 280 Vac/Vdc, with solid-state power and reliability. This carrier board adds the ability to connect, monitor, control and automate billions of existing devices that previously were beyond the Pi’s built-in 3.3-Vdc GPIO sensing and control capabilities. The board enables development of solutions for industrial automation, remote monitoring and discrete control applications using Raspberry Pi and I/O modules.
