EB061 dspic ECIO compatability

Post by Chris_MIRA »

Hi,
Is the EB061 board compatible with the dsPIC ECIO? If so, have the latest versions of the board had the header pins changes to accommodate the ECIO change to more robust connector pins?
Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Yes the EB061 is compatible with the ECIO40P16. We currently ship the EB061 with two loose 20-way SIL sockets.

You can then use the board as is with standard turned pin ECIOs.

By inserting the sockets into the socket on the EB061 you can change the pin style to match the new more reliable ECIO40P16 square pins.

As we re-order batches of ECIO they will all likely move to the new more reliable square pin design, at this point we will change the sockets on the EB061 to suit.
