ACTUATE is a series of extension boards that work in conjunction with the versatile PIC development PCBs on offer. The PCB is capable of supporting devices from both the 16F and 18F devices. The PCB may include additional features and functionality to enhance the module's capability.
The range of Actuate I/O boards is designed to supplement the existing H-MATIX product range. The primary difference between an ACTUTAE and a H-MATIX product is that the ACTUTAE I/O boards have no integrated intelligence, ie there is no microcontroller to provide logic or system rules. Owing to this, for example, Input 1 is tied to Output 1. However with a H-MATIX board, Input 1 would be tied by the software to a designated output.
