Instruction

The DIDO is upgraded to Version 1.3, and it's support the raspberry pi 4 model B now. We have only reduced the PCB size, nothing else has changed.

How to use the DIDO on Raspberry PI 4B Please refer to File:How to use the DIDO on Raspberry PI 4B-EN.pdf

DIDO module includes components like relays,switches, gigital and analog I/O that will allow for connection to sensors ,motors, lights, etc. and be controlled by the Raspberry Pi board.

The digital DIDO module interface board fits the original Raspberry Pi models A and B. DIDO module has been redesigned to fit the Raspberry Pi models A and B.

Fitting instructions

Warnings

  • Ensure that no power is supplied to Raspberry Pi, or DIDO boards

when plugging or unplugging. DIDO sits neatly above the Raspberry Pi and connects using the expansion connector. Take care to ensure all expansion pins are lined up with the holes on the DIDO socket. Check the alignment for left and right, and front and back before pushing down and never force the boards together if they don’t slide smoothly.

If the boards can be addressed, where do you set this address in the software? In the above examples I did not notice the address setting.

I can not comprehend how you would not publish a schematic of at least the I/O interface pins of the DIDO board. Are there clamping didoes to both rails? What are the values of the input resistors? What to the open collector outputs look like? What current will the outputs drive? What is the max vcc on the output pins? I won't buy another Geekworm product.
