Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
Here at DamenCNC we have used it for simple automation projects. We are working on a shield that is plug and play with the 2560...
PoKeys56E is an easy-to-use Ethernet device that combines a lot of inputs and outputs, and do not requires complex programming knowledge. Pokeys56 provides 55 digital I/O (5V tolerant), 7 analog inputs (12-bit). All the I/O are controlled by the provided software which allows either to use the graphical user interface or advanced console type interface...
PoKeys56U is an easy-to-use USB device that combines standard keyboard and joystick simulation, and does not requires complex programming knowledge. Pokeys56U provides 55 digital I/O (5V tolerant), 5 analog inputs (10-bit) and 1 analog output (10-bit). All the I/O are controlled by the provided software which allows either to use the graphical user interface or advanced console type interface...
Almost every USB full speed (12MHz) device can be isolated from computer with PoUSBiso. Tested with all PoLabs products, motion devices for CNC, many microcontroller programers/debugers for ARM, Atmel, PIC, Silabs and other, many PC USB devices.
