Feature request: Support of USB GPIO

Mon Mar 09, 2020 11:06 am

Hello,
it will be extreamly usefull if device like this: https://numato.com/product/8-channel-us ... log-inputs would be supported in ROS.
Is it possible in near future?
Best regards

It works as serial port over USB, so it can be used with ROS. You can send commands from scripts or start up TCP/telnet server that redirects commands to/from the USB serial so it can be used from remote PC.
I'm using similar custom boards based on stm32 (which have usb cdc serial implemented in firmware) to toggle relays and get statuses, measure voltages etc.
