Rich I/O & Peripheral Expansion
To solve mainboard pin constraints, this expansion board adds a plethora of new interfaces while passing through the UNIHIKER's native edge connection. It includes six multi-function I/O pins (Digital, Analog, and 1-Wire), numerous I2C ports (including one 5V port for logic-level compatibility with devices such as the HUSKYLENS), and a special 5V port for ultrasonic sensors. Furthermore, inbuilt peripherals, such as two programmable RGB LEDs and an IR transmitter/receiver, provide built-in status indication and remote control without the need for additional modules.
