Physical
Characteristics
Dimensions: 1575mm wide, 2230mm deep, 160mm high without case
Weight: 1.41lb including case
Applications Board
The applications board has been designed to aid the teaching of
microprocessor interfacing from simple switch and lamp
input/output through to more complex closed-loop and open-
loop control systems.
The new board layout enables students to easily understand
each experiment section as it is worked upon. The wide array of
features incorporated into the board include digital switches,
traffic light color LED displays, temperature, light, and optical
position/speed sensors, a heater, a DC motor, an LED bargraph,
and a potentiometer. A screw terminal is also provided for
external analog input.
