Today I'm building an interesting kit that I got from Universal Solder a few months ago. This is their PLC MEGA328 kit, which has an Arduino Nano at its core controlling some relays, an RTC and has other inputs and outputs operating at voltages that an Arduino board normally can't use safely. It was a fun kit to put together, and should be useful in several situations. Here's the quick-n-dirty test code that I wrote :https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ll8xwLXfsIkilPNWK0yh1HhYmwm77JMX/view?usp=sharing 0:00 - beer 0:19 - introducing the kit 2:11 - more details about the kit 4:29 - assembly instructions from the manual 5:11 - the schematic 8:11 - first components 29:32 - first power / smoke test 31:12 - but before we put some code on this thing 32:34 - testing the RTC 35:54 - some test code and testing everything else 37:57 - final thoughts and thank you More information about the kit and a downloadable manual are available here: https://www.universal-solder.ca/product/canaduino-plc-mega328-programmable-logic-controller-electronics-diy-kit-for-arduino-nano-included/ Or if you prefer to buy through Ebay: https://ebay.to/3hwafs9 ----- My tip jar: https://www.patreon.com/pileofstuff If you are OK with me getting a commission on your e-bay purchases, feel free to use my affiliate link: https://ebay.to/33IF7PA https://lbry.tv/@pileofstuff  ----- This isn't the only way to do it.
