| Expansion | Two 46-pin headers; programmable real-time units (PRUs) |
| Signal levels | 3.3 V digital I/O; analog inputs limited to 1.8 V |
Check the board revision, pin multiplexing and electrical limits before connecting external equipment. Some header functions share resources with onboard interfaces.
Where it can fit.
Data acquisition prototypes
Connect suitable signal conditioning and validate the sampling and communications approach.
Timing-sensitive interfaces
Evaluate PRU firmware for defined timing tasks while Linux handles the application.
Application examples are starting points for evaluation, not a statement of qualification or certification.
From platform choice to a working system.
FPD.DEV can help map I/O, review signal conditioning, integrate a display and plan software bring-up. Linux application timing and PRU behavior need separate validation against the required timing limits.
If sourcing origin matters, include it in your inquiry. We prefer suitable U.S.-made options and can evaluate alternatives; manufacturing origin must be verified for the actual part and supply route.
Tell us what you are building.
Share the application, display or I/O needs, and any timing or quantity target. Uncertain details can wait for the conversation.
