Arduino Pro Opta Ext A0602
The snap-on expansion module to enhance Arduino Opta’s applications with the addition of 2 analog and 4 PWM digital outputs.
Overview
Arduino Pro Opta Ext A0602 enhances your Arduino Opta’s real-time control, monitoring and predictive maintenance applications with the addition of 6 programmable inputs, 2 programmable outputs and 4 PWM outputs.
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 include:
- Flexible inputs: 4 analog inputs, user-programmable for 0-10 V, 0/4-20 mA, or temperature measurement via RTD PT100 2 wires and 2 analog inputs, user-programmable for 0-10 V, 0/4-20 mA, or temperature measurement via RTD 3-wire PT100 sensors.
- Configurable outputs: 2 analog outputs (0-10 V or 0/4-20 mA).
- 4 digital PWM outputs.
- 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
Increase with great efficiency the variety of analog data managed by any physical solution, from sensors to actuators, both with 0-10 V and 0/4-20 mA signals. The data, collected in real time and with great accuracy, allows you to monitor and control industrial applications automatically, with Opta’s impeccable precision.

"But can it run Doom?" is more than just a joke in the tech world. It is also a decent litmus test for the computing power of hardware. That test isn't very relevant for modern computers, but it is still worth asking when discussing microcontrollers. Microcontrollers vary in dramatically in processing power and memory, with models to suit every application. But if you have an Arduino Nano ESP32 board, you can run Doom as Naveen Kumar has proven. The Nano ESP32 is a small IoT development board for the ESP32-S3 microcontroller, featuring Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity. It also has a relatively high clock speed and quite a lot of memory: 240MHz and 512kB SRAM, respectively. That still isn't enough to meet the requirements of the original Doom release, which needed a lot more RAM. But Kumar demonstrates the use of an MCU-friendly port that runs well on this more limited hardware. Want to give it a try yourself? You'll need the Nano ESP32, an Adafruit 2.8" TFT LCD shield, an M5Stack joystick, a Seeed Studio Grove dual button module, a breadboard, and some jumper wires to create a simple handheld console. You'll have to compile and flash the Retro-Go firmware, which was designed specifically for running games like Doom on ESP32-based devices. You can then load the specialized WAD (Where's All the Data) files. Kumar reports an average frame rate at a 320×240 resolution, which is very playable.
