Numato Lab’s 8 Channel USB Pluggable GPIO Module (NL-USBG-C-008) is a small and handy module which helps to connect real-world devices to your computer easily through USB. Built in USB to serial conversion allows the module to be used without any USB specific knowledge. All that you need to operate GPIOs is a standard Serial Terminal Emulator such as PuTTY/Teraterm or your favourite programming language such a C/C++, Python, Perl, etc... Besides providing standard General Purpose IOs, this product has multiple Analog Inputs as well. These Analog inputs can be used to read Analog quantities such as temperature, pressure, etc.. with the help of appropriate sensors.
