P-Mods

The makerE stocks a wide variety of pmods that can be checked out by taking to the lab director. They are sensors that communicatre using a wide variety of communication protocols, including I2C, SPI, and UART. They are good for learning about sensors and communication protocol. Pmod™ devices are Digilent’s line of small I/O interface boards that offer an ideal way to extend the capabilities of programmable logic and embedded control boards. They allow sensitive signal conditioning circuits and high-power drive circuits to be placed where they are most effective - near sensors and actuators. Pmod modules communicate with system boards using 6, 8, or 12-pin connectors that can carry multiple digital control signals, including SPI and other serial protocols. Pmod modules allow for more effective designs by routing analog signals and power supplies only where they are needed, and away from digital controller boards.
