Last week, we wrote about the Olimex PICO-EVB automation board equipped with four relays and four isolated inputs and designed for Raspberry Pi Pico-compatible boards.Make Things Happy does something similar, but in a modular way, with the IoTextra family of carrier boards with four inputs and four outputs for automation, and supporting a range of IoTsmart MCU boards based on Raspberry Pi RP2350, ESP32-S3, etc…IoTsmart ESP32-S3 fitted to IoTextra Octal2 board

There are currently six IoTextra boards shipping or in development, all measuring 56×47 mm and featuring 3750 Vrms galvanic isolation per channel.
