Introduction

output-board features eight 10A relays and four 0-10V proportional outputs, making this board really suitable to control loads wirelessly.

Relays are rated for AC mains use but you should only consider connecting relay outputs to mains if you really have the necessary skills and experience. Mains voltage can kill so proceed at your own risk.

output-board

This version of output-board works better with panStamp NRG since the AVR module can not drive relays 5 and 6 from A6 and A7.

Hardware specifications

  • Power supply: 12VDC.
  • 8 x Relays: 10A @ 230VAC, 7 with NO and NC contacts and 1 with NC contact
  • 4 x 0-10V outputs: low-current control signals.
  • Status LED for each relay.
  • Footprint for optional through-hole SMA connector
  • Optional enclosure
  • Size: 122 x 86 mm

Programming port

The board can be programmed with a panStick by means of a pin row available on-board, near the panStamp module. The following diagram shows the pinout of this connector and how a panStick can sit onto it. Remember the panStick can not contain a panStamp in order to program other boards.

Available sketches

output-board can be programmed either with binouts or binouts2 SWAP-compatible sketches. The main difference between both applications is that binouts relies on a single SWAP register for the eight relays and another single register for the four proportional outputs whilst binouts2 provides an individual register for each output.
