Development board accessories are essential components that extend the functionality of microcontroller/processor development platforms. These accessories include interface cables, power modules, sensor modules, expansion boards, and debugging tools that enable rapid prototyping and system integration. As core enablers for embedded system development, IoT prototyping, and industrial automation, these accessories significantly reduce development time while improving hardware compatibility and measurement accuracy.
| Type | Functional Features | Application Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Interface Cables | High-speed data transfer, hot-plugging support | USB-UART converters, HDMI breakout cables |
| Power Modules | Regulated voltage output, battery management | Lipo battery packs, DC-DC converters |
| Sensor Modules | Digital/analog signal acquisition, calibration-free | Temperature/humidity sensors, IMUs |
| Expansion Boards | Peripheral interface extension, protocol conversion | Motor drivers, LoRaWAN shields |
| Debugging Tools | Real-time tracing, voltage measurement | JTAG probes, logic analyzers |
Typical accessories feature: - Hardware Shell: Flame-retardant ABS or CNC-machined aluminum for mechanical protection - Interface Circuits: Level shifters and ESD protection components - Communication Modules: SPI/I2C/UART protocol converters - Power Conditioning: Voltage regulators and current limiting circuits - Mechanical Components: Mounting brackets and anti-vibration pads
