Description
The Pi-Plates DAQCplate (DAC-SEE) adds a rich set of input/output options to your Raspberry Pi. It includes 7 powerful digital outputs for driving external devices such as relays and high current LEDs as well as 8 analog to digital inputs for measuring temperature, voltage, humidity and more. In addition there are eight digital inputs, two analog outputs, and seven general purpose indicator LEDs. The datasheet below contains all of the features of this powerful board:
General
