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!

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?

Other sizes of relay boards available also

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:
