Hello everyone!
Since the Opta has a dedicated port for auxiliary modules, I was wondering about a couple of things.
Maybe there could be a module with a few configurable GPIO-pins and a breadboard in one? Or maybe I'm fantasizing a little too much.
Anyway, please let me know if know.
Been very curious about this too.
I've got my hands on an Opta and i'd love to control some pwm outputs for my project.
I need the combination of a few heavy outputs like the one on the Opta but also want to control some heavier motor controllers wich need some pwm input.
When will there be auxilary modules?
Hi @lopkip !
We appreciate your interest in Opta®.
In the coming months, Arduino will release dedicated modules for Opta® to enrich your experience with our micro PLC.
Stay tuned!
Eagerly awaiting this announcement! Can we confirm if they will be available by the end of the year? I'd like to spec the Opta for an installation, thanks!
@dmlest
Unfortunately, we cannot provide you that information.
Putting in my vote for a high-accuracy (<=0.1%) analog input module with 4 inputs that each accept both 4-20mA and 0-10V.
Good to hear there will be modules coming!
As mentioned above, analog input 4..20mA would be great, as this is common in PLC environments. Analog outputs and digital outputs would add more capabilities for projects as well!
Even some RTD input would be great. I.e. PT1000/100. Looking forward to these also.
Any updates?
Not yet.
Any progress?
What is the pinout of the AUX connector?
Suitable mating connector?
Hi,
according to information received in a phone call with finder support, (at least) the analog module will be available on the market on january 2024
Finder is launching three expansion modules. Further information can be found here:
Hi, here the pdf with specifications.
Please tote that the analog expansion allow ONLY 2 pt100/pt1000 for each module 
On the Voltimum.it website is available a webinar in italian language about these expansions
Is there any news about a release date? early 2024 is a broad range and we are already in it.
Hi,
in my last call with the support, I received Frebruary as release forecast for the analog one
last update received this week fo Analog expansion.
-release date shifted to end of march
-the module will allow 12 or 24v connection (previously was present only the 24v)
-I have no update about the limitation to ONLY 2 PT100/1000
@igorte thank you for the update, i was hoping it was sooner
also me.. please consider that end of march as release date means that to be on stock in your mall will require some more days.
Hello everyone! Seeing so much silence from Arduino & Finder on this product is a bit strange. I have my project on hold waiting for the expansion modules. I am worried there might be a chance for these products to be canceled. It's already one year since the initial announcement. ...
