Development Boards
Prototype electronics and build simple automation systems with the configurable inputs and outputs on these boards. Monitor both digital and analog devices, including proximity and temperature sensors, and control basic outputs, such as changing the speed of a servomotor or turning LEDs on and off. Their open-source software makes programming and troubleshooting convenient. Choose a board whose operating voltage can support the other devices you’re connecting to.
Boards with headers are good for making quick connections. Plug them in directly to breadboards, or connect them using jumper wire.
Boards without headers require making your own soldered connections. Use them for permanent or long-term installations.
Open-Source Controllers

Combine the functionality of a programmable logic controller (PLC) and the accessibility of a development board. Built around a Raspberry Pi and an Arduino-enabled microcontroller, these controllers use open-source software to make programming and troubleshooting convenient. Use them in your automated system to monitor sensors, control actuators, and support Internet-of-Things functionality, such as wireless communication with sensors and connection to cloud-computing services. Their plastic housing keeps the inner electronics protected in industrial environments. Controllers meet UL 94 V-0 standards for safety, and they’re rated IP20 to prevent fingers and other objects greater than 12.5 mm from making contact with live circuits. Mount them to DIN rails inside control cabinets.
