The Make Application Board provides a robust interface between the Controller Board and real world devices. It offers a variety of I/O and connectivity options:

  • 8 analog inputs - 10-bit resolution and circuit protection.
  • 8 high current outputs - up to 1A each. Can be combined to drive DC and/or stepper motors.
  • 4 servo motor outputs - control up to 4 standard hobby servos.
  • 4 status LEDs - provide visual output for your programs.
  • DIP switch and trimpot - for simple manual configuration.

The green screw connectors are slip-on, which means they can be lifted off the board by hand. Devices can be left screwed into the connectors, and removed and replaced without unscrewing. Labels for each of the connectors are printed on the board under the connectors.
