INTRODUCTION BOARD FEATURES MOD-IO is a small but powerful development board who let you control optoisolated input and relay outputs - with this features is possible to turn on and off almost any electronic device at home. The board has UEXT_FEMALE connector which allows you to communicate with a PC and UEXT_MALE connector where you can connect other Olimex board with UEXT. The MOD-IO project is fully open software and open hardware. The customer has full access to the documentation of the board including schematics and board design. The main idea of MOD-IO chain connection is to extend: - isolated relay outputs - isolated digit inputs - non isolated analog inputs - non isolated digit inputs/outputs using UEXT male/female connector. So the MCU interfaces (IC, SPI, UART) from all chain boards are connected in parallel. Note that if you want to connect more than 1 MOD-IO board then on the interface bus (IC or UART or SPI) has to have only one Master device. The other devices have to be Slaves. For example: if UART interface is used - the master will send a string with Slave address and command. All Slaves will listen UART bus through RXD line while all Slave TXD lines are inputs. So when the address is recognized from the Slave device, the one will answer as it will force TXD pin like output but immediately after command answer is finished the Slave TXD pin must be initialized like input. The same principle can be used for other interfaces (SPI or IC).

ELECTROSTATIC WARNING The MOD-IO board is shipped in protective anti-static packaging. The board must not be subject to high electrostatic potentials. General practice for working with static sensitive devices should be applied when working with this board. BOARD USE REQUIREMENTS Cables: Hardware: Software: The cable you will need depends on the programmer/debugger you use. If you use AVR-PG1, or AVR-JTAG, you will need RS3 cable, if you use AVR-PG, you will need LPT cable, if you use AVR-USB- JTAG, AVR-ISP500, AVR-ISP500-TINY, AVR-ISP500-ISO, AVR-ISP- MK you will need 1.8 meter A-B USB cable. One of Olimex programmers/debuggers AVR-PG1, AVR-PG, AVR-ISP500, AVR-ISP500-TINY, AVR-ISP500-ISO, AVR-JTAG, AVR- USB-JTAG, AVR-ISP-MK or other compatible programming/debugging tool. Make sure to check if the above programmer/debugger is supported by the IDE you are going to use.

For product support, hardware information and error reports mail to: support@olimex.com. Note that we are primarily a hardware company and our software support is limited. Please consider reading the paragraph below about the warranty of Olimex products. Warranty and returns: Our boards have lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and components. During development work it is not unlikely that you can burn your programmer or development board. This is normal, we also do development work and we have damaged A LOT of programmers and boards during our daily job so we know how it works. If our board/programmer has worked fine then stopped, please check if you didn't apply over voltage by mistake, or shorted something in your target board where the programmer was connected etc. Sometimes boards might get damaged by ESD shock voltage or if you spill coffee on them during your work when they are powered. Please note that warranty do not cover problems caused by unproper use, shorts, over-voltages, ESD shock etc. If the board has warranty label it should be not broken. Broken labels void the warranty, same applies for boards modified by the customer, for instance soldering additional components or removing components - such boards will be not be a subject of our warranty. If you are positive that the problem is due to manufacturing defect or component you can return the board back to us for inspection. When we receive the board we will check and if the problem is caused due to our fault and we will repair/replace the faulty hardware free of charge, otherwise we can quote price of the repair. Note that all shippings back and forth have to be covered by the customer. Before you ship anything back you need to ask for RMA. When you ship back please attach to it your shipping address, phone, e-mail, RMA# and brief description of the problem. All boards should be sent back in antistatic package and well packed to prevent damages during the transport. Page 1
