Dimensions!?

Post by joshlawless »

I've looked everywhere on the website, and am stunned to nowhere find the dimensions of the controller, the relay box, the expansion modules, etc. I might be able to extrapolate by opening all of the Eagle files and padding for likely enclosure spacing, but isn't this something that could be posted on the product information pages? Please?

Awesome, thanks. How about the expansions? Most of them (except the RF and the water level) appear to share the same general shape/footprint.

Also, on a somewhat unrelated note, how do the multiple expansions connect to the expansion hub? From the product photo of the expansion hub, it looks as though are two, maybe four, USB ports. How does this permit "up to 10" additional expansions to connect? Do some of them daisy-chain? Are there more ports on the back, that can't be seen in the product photo?

Theres 10 usb ports on it 4 on one side 4 on the opposite and two on the short side. The opposite short side has the mini usb to connect to the relay box.

Yeah, and I need to start planning on a bigger Hub :o
I thought we would reach this point in the distant future, but it's closer than I anticipated.

Can you chain the current ones together?

No, they do not support daisy chaining due to signal propagation

Just want to follow up -- what about the expansions? They almost all appear to be the same general size and shape. How large are they in person?
