Numato Lab’s 16 Channel USB GPIO module is a low cost easily deployable GPIO USB solution for connecting your PC to other electronic circuitry through USB. No USB-specific knowledge is required to set up and use this module. Numato Lab’s GPIO devices provide an interface that looks like a Serial Port on your Operating System, thus effectively hiding the complexity of USB. All that you need to operate GPIOs is a standard Serial Terminal Emulator such as HyperTerminal/Teraterm or your favorite programming language such as C/C++ , Python, Perl, etc… Besides providing standard General Purpose IOs, this product has multiple Analog Inputs as well. These Analog inputs can be used to read Analog quantities such as temperature, pressure, etc.. with the help of appropriate sensors. USB-to-GPIO connectivity has never been easy unless you were a USB expert. But now, with Numato Lab’s USB GPIO adapter, controlling external devices and reading external signals through USB has become very simple.

Features

• 16 TTL (3.3V) compatible GPIOs available
• 7 Analog input channels (Multiplexed with GPIOs)
• 10 Bit Analog input resolution
• All GPIOs can be individually configured as input or output
• Can be controlled by using standard serial console applications or custom applications
• No USB protocol knowledge required, the onboard controller can be reprogrammed for custom applications
• All IOs available on easy to access screw terminals

Applications

• Building automated test fixtures
• Add more IOs and Analog channels to industrial/modular computers
• Add more IOs and Analog channels to Raspberry Pi, Intel Edison, BeagleBone and similar CPU boards
• Add IOs to Android-based systems (Smartphones, Tabs and custom devices)

The device is supported by AltonaLab IoT software and can be easy used in a diagram for control or monitoring:
