Phidgets - 1018 - PhidgetInterfaceKit 8/8/8


Phidgets are an easy to use set of building blocks for low cost sensing and control from your PC. Using the Universal Serial Bus (USB) as the basis for all Phidgets, the complexity is managed behind an easy to use and robust Application Programming Interface (API). Applications can be developed quickly in Visual Basic, VBA (Microsoft Access and Excel), LabView, Java, Delphi, C and C++.

PhidgetInterfaceKit 8/8/8

Phidgets are the most user-friendly system available for controlling and sensing the environment from your computer. The PhidgetInterfaceKit 8/8/8 board is the most versatile Phidget, designed to be the core of a wide variety of projects.

Analog inputs

The Analog Inputs are used to measure continuous quantities, such as temperature, humidity, position, pressure, etc. There are many plug and play sensors in the Phidgets product line that require no assembly. In addition, any sensor that returns a signal between 0 and 5 volts can be easily interfaced.

Digital Inputs

The Digital Inputs have a Digital Input Hardware Filter to eliminate false triggering from electrical noise. They can be used to convey the state of devices such as push buttons, limit switches, relays, and logic levels.

Digital Outputs

The Digital Outputs can be used to drive LEDs, solid state relays (such as the 3052 SSR Relay Board), transistors; in fact, anything that will accept a CMOS signal.

Comes packaged with:

  • 180cm USB Cable
  • A mounting hardware kit
