Microcontroller board

Hi all,

do you know if there is on the market a complete board usable to take some inputs from digital and analog sensors and control outputs?
I mean something like arduino, but with more performance and capable of more current and volts.
It should be something ready to connect and program, without having to use lot of external components.

Thank you

when producing a small number of systems (e.g. 5 or less) where it is not economic to design a new PCB we have found the Microchip Explorer 16 very useful
https://www.microchip.com/Developme...m_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=Explorer+16

it can take a range of PIC24, dsPIC and PIC32 PIMs (Plug In Modules)

and daughter cards

also all the processor IO pins are brought out to an edge conector
this enables one to plug it into a backplane which then communicates with other modules

What exactly do you want? I can try to help you.

thanks for the suggestion!
The pic development board seems to be very promising!

FYI on an automatic machine I want to take inputs from sensors and control outputs.. Nothing too complicated, simple cycles..

should be no problem ! in the applications we have used the Explorer 16 for we were taking digital inputs (from switchs, limit sensors etc), ADC inputs ( temperature sensors, current measurement sensors, etc), outputs to motors, heaters, communication with IrDA, UARTs, wireless, USB, etc.

excellent, thank you very much!
