Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Maximite equivalent hardware?

Not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes.
I found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/8-Channel-5V-Relay-Module-Arduino -PIC-ARM-DSP-AVR-/280643595194?_trksid=p3907.m8&_trkparms=al go%3DMW%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D12%26po%3DLCA%26ps%3D63%26clkid% 3D862556338943589114&_qi=RTM694644
May come in handy for the Maximite expansion.
And cheap!
Its easier to ask forgiveness than to seek permission!

That looks pretty damn good for the price.

I mentioned this in a thread somewhere in this Forum, and we have 2 on the way for our own use.

Matthew, see the little http://www.thebackshed.com/forum/forum_images/post_button_hy perlink.gif icon above,

you can create linkable text with them, that people can click on.

Gizmo, how did you do that?

Cheers Don...

Mick sent me these:

Other sizes of relay boards available also

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4-Channel-5V-Relay-Module-Arduino -PIC-ARM-DSP-AVR-/270712994177?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=it em3f07c07981

How could you compete with these?
Why would you want to?

OK, there's more developments on my turning a UBW32 into a Maximite --> UB-Mite

If you're desperate to get a Maximite, have a go at this. It's not that hard if you've got some soldering skills!!

For crying out loud, all I wanted to do was flash this blasted LED.

Thanks Rob,

The 26 pin I/O header, and Audio. If they are the only features you are missing, you have possibly advanced as far as many of us, as I haven't used either yet. I will of course.

I think most users are having so much fun with visiting Basic after so many years, they haven't got involved in I/O to any great degree.

I sent Geoff a couple of the UBW32 boards.
He has received them during his 4W-Driving travels, and just sent me an email back, explaining what he had found. I have posted his response at the below URL:
