Output board (x2) based on I2C HT16K33 driver
Input board (x2) based on I2C MCP23017 i/O driver
Power in dev mode
RJ45 on the faceplate
I ll release documentation technical drawings & pcb plans when all will tested and ok, this the first one, i already saw some details i need to correct. I am building a blog where all will be available
this is the first prototype, and i think system can be stackable throught the RPI I/O port
