40-Pin EtherStem Module Kit

This breakout board provides easy access to the capabilities of 40-pin BrainStems, and is perfect for those looking to get started with the BrainStem system. The breakout board can be powered from USB or battery, ensuring a portable and easy-to-use development platform for 40-pin BrainStems.

40-pin BrainStem modules are general purpose embedded microcontroller modules providing a variety of I/O capabilities including UART, I2C, analog I/O, digital I/O and more. 40-pin BrainStems can be networked with other BrainStem modules and third-party devices across the I2C bus. They can also communicate with many standard sensors with analog, digital or serial interfaces. 

The breakout board also provides a standard CR2032 coin-cell battery slot for powering the 40-pin module's real-time clock (RTC). This allows the BrainStem to maintain an accurate system time while deployed in remote environments for data collection or logging.
