Product COM-11138 | last month
Looks like the COM-11155 (see Related Products below) is the one to get for DC switching (16A @ 12VDC)
Product COM-11138 | about a month ago
Round = Easier to mount using just a drill! Any idea what the DC current/voltage ratings are?
Product DEV-10661 | about 2 months ago
Completely agree! I’ve still got an SC-01A kicking around in my junkbox somehwere… For those interested in some history, have a look at this.
Product DEV-10661 | about 2 months ago
I’m kinda surprised that you didn’t add a 14th row of holes for the TTS256. The layout isn’t very cramped and this could have easily been done without having to reroute anything.
Better yet, pre-route wires to the right pads and silk-screen the footprint of the TTS256 in the proto area to make it even easier.
Given that the tutorial to work around this oversight is linked right from the product page, this is clearly a very common request/mod.
Product PRT-11157 | about 2 months ago
You are absolutely correct, though you never ever hear anybody call these DE9’s – they are always colloquially referred to as DB9 and calling them DE9 would probably confuse more people than not.
Ideally, SFE would use this as a “teachable moment” and call them DE9’s, but mention in the description that these are commonly incorrectly referred to as DB9’s.
Product BOB-11044 | about 2 months ago
If anybody is interested in using this to amplify the “SP” speaker port on the VEX Robotics Cortex Microcontroller, it works great! I wired it up for single-ended input (signal to – input, ground the + input).
I wanted a bit more gain so I traded the resistors for 47KΩ through-hole resistors and now my robot can get some attention!
Product COM-11041 | about 4 months ago
I completely agree. Also, rotating it 180° would allow the NC contact to be broken out to the terminal strip. It seems silly to have a breakout board for an SPDT relay, but treat it like an SPST(NO) relay. They did say a final design is coming, so hopefully these enhancements will be considered.

My workbench has a nice protective layer of everything in the universe on top of it…
Product SEN-10740 | about 5 months ago
I completely agree. If there is no incremental cost (a few additional pads), then there is now downside to doing so. The fact that this is Arduino-based, and they included the ISP header says this board is designed to be mod’d. So why not more of the unused GPIOs too?
Product TOL-10989 | about 5 months ago
I concur! I got one for Christmas and have already used it to help bring up a few LCDs on an Arduino. This is a well crafted and versatile tool, and I heartily recommend it.
