Arduino Pro Opta Ext D1608S
The snap-on expansion module to enhance Arduino Opta’s applications with the addition of 16 programmable voltage inputs and 8 solid-state relays.
Overview
Arduino Pro Opta Ext D1608S enhances your Arduino Opta’s real-time control, monitoring and predictive maintenance applications with the addition of 16 programmable voltage inputs and 8 solid-state relays 24 VDC 2A.
Just snap on the module to extend your system’s capabilities flexibly and quickly, and manage the new I/Os from the Opta base unit seamlessly, taking advantage of the open and widely known Arduino ecosystem or PLC IDE IEC 61131-3 programming environment.
Key benefits:
- Flexible inputs: 16 new inputs for your applications per each expansion added, programmable as digital 0-24 VDC or analog 0-10 V.
- Powerful outputs: 8 solid-state relays offering 24 VDC for 2A each.
- Up to 5 snap-on modules can be managed to multiply and mix a set of I/Os with seamless detection: snap them right next to your Opta base module and use the I/Os as native Opta resources.
- Extend your hardware capabilities while keeping programming accessible, by using the Arduino IDE with its wide range of ready-to-use sketches, tutorials and libraries.
- Put your new I/Os easily to work with the PLC IDE for IEC 61131-3 PLC languages, taking advantage of its low-code approach and pre-mapped resources.
- Extend the Opta’s benefits of real-time remote monitoring via intuitive Arduino Cloud dashboards and secure communication to a wider set of connected devices.
- Reliable by design, thanks to industrial certifications and Finder’s expertise in electronic devices.
- Easy DIN rail installation.
Applications
Opta’s digital expansions are ideal to increase the number of real-time control points in the manufacturing sector and in any building automation project.
The Opta Ecosystem is compatible with all major cloud providers – but choosing the simplicity of Arduino Cloud can really make a difference, for anyone who wants to build, customize and remotely manage their own dashboards.

Everything old is new again! Arduino users always amaze us with how they put a fresh spin on the most common objects around us: a clock, a board game, a computer... anything can inspire the exciting new entries they share on Project Hub. These are the three builds we selected from August’s uploads to highlight our community’s advanced skills, resourcefulness, and creativity. 3. Have the time of your life with this advanced Nixie tube clock As the saying goes, "With great power comes great responsibility." if you have the electronics knowledge to work in total safety, assembling this fun retro clock is a great opportunity to show off your skills and ingenuity at the same time. Using an Arduino UNO and a Nixie tube – which, unlike an LED, operates at high voltage and therefore must be handled with care – you can read the time off a unique display, even from across the room. Combine multiple tubes to showcase different information! 2. Learn to play a classic game in a modern way To make or not to make was never the question! We have no doubt you can follow this tutorial to create your own digital version of the traditional Othello game: learn to play, practice, and win – even with minimal hardware. In fact, you can get away with only the Arduino Nano Every board, the Arduino IDE, and a cable to connect the two. 1. Build a computer so portable it fits into your pocket It’s the stuff of vintage spy movies, but blends into today’s reality – where custom technology can truly be at your fingertips at all times thanks to new, accessible components. Based on two 2023 releases from Arduino – the Nano ESP32 and UNO R4 – yokonav’s debut contribution to Project Hub demonstrates how to stack hardware to form a small, functional computer that runs on Linux. For your chance to be selected for a $100, $300 or even $500 gift card to spend on the Arduino Store, submit your best project on Project Hub! We will be awarding three new
