Product Description
The 1203 integrates a 20X2 White PhidgetTextLCD, and a PhidgetInterfaceKit 8/8/8

The PhidgetTextLCD allows you to display messages on a 2-line by 20-character LCD screen.

The PhidgetInterfaceKit 8/8/8provides:

Analog Inputs
The Analog Inputs are used to measure continuous quantities, such as temperature, humidity, position, pressure, etc. Phidgets offers a wide variety of sensors that can be plugged directly into the board using the cable included with the sensor.

Sampling rates can be set at 1ms, 2ms, 4ms, 8ms and multiple of 8ms up to 1000ms.

Product Features
• 2-line by 20-character LCD White Display
• 8 Analog Inputs with configurable data acquisition rates
• 8 Digital Inputs with hardware noise filtering
• 8 Digital Outputs
• 5V terminal block besides Analog Input 7 and Digital Output 7

Digital Inputs
The Digital Inputs have a Digital Input Hardware Filter to eliminate false triggering from electrical noise. They can be used to convey the state of devices such as push buttons, limit switches, relays, and logic levels.

Digital Outputs
The Digital Outputs can be used to drive LEDs, solid state relays (such as the 3052 SSR Relay Board), transistors; in fact, anything that will accept a CMOS signal.

Comes packaged with:
• A 3018 - Mini-USB Cable 180cm
• A mounting hardware kit
