Overview


Gertboard is the ideal add-on for Raspberry Pi. Designed by Gert van Loo, it is a flexible experimenter board that plugs directly into your Raspberry Pi, and out into the physical world, allowing you to detect and respond to external physical events. Detect and output analogue voltages. Drive powerful motors. Detect switch presses. Illuminate LEDs and drive relays. Jumper cables allow you to hook up different parts of the circuit in many different ways, allowing total flexibility. All controlled by your own Raspberry Pi.


Features:


  • Plugs directly onto Raspberry Pi GPIO socket
  • Motor controller, capable controlling a motor bi-directionally, delivering 18V and 2A maximum
  • Dual-channel D-to-A converter, 8-bit
  • Dual-channel  A-to-D converter, 10-bit
  • Onboard Atmel ATmega328ATmega328 MCU for running off-board programmes which are written, compiled and uploaded to Gertboard from Raspberry Pi
  • 6 x open collector outputs
  • 12 x LED indicators
  • 3 x momentary push switches
  • 10 x strap cables included
  • 18 x jumpers included
  • Software and manuals available to operate and learn how to use Gertboard

    And 7 years later, the actual dimensions of the board are still not published anywhere. Isn't that the most fundamental of all specifications???

    If you would check the compatability, I would appreciate it.

    Is it necessary for an update, the GPIO pins used I believe are still compatible with the PI2 so unless there planning on adding more IO to the board it should be ok. I have not tested to see if the connector gets in the way but I will tonight

    Does anyone know if there is an updated version for the Pi 2?

    Hi I've succesfully done the sample c test code

    with the B+ and assembled I/O board.

    My next step would be to modify the code and experiment with it.

    Any link to the 'C' editor or how to do this on the Pi?

    What is the advantage of the GertBoard over connect to the GPIO a transistor to increase the power?

    Would this work for controlling a stepper motor such as: Item # PK296A2A-SG18, Stepper Motor On Oriental Motor U.S.A. Corp.

    Hi, I am building a project for engineering. I was wondering the dimensions for this, as it is to fit into a micro-amphibious-car to inspect hazardous environments with a webcam.

      If you could let me know the size of the gertboard, that would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,

                Ruben.
