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.

An intelligent device to track moves with responses during an interactive space with mapping, backlight, music and smart sculptures. This project makes use of a machine learning algorithm capable of tracking and detecting moves to identify associated gesture recognition through a microcontroller. Smart sculptures, lighting, music and video projection to trigger with each assigned gesture, creating a powerful AV experience highlighting the incredible potential of TinyML for the performing arts. This allows the corresponding media set Tiny ML in interactive to play when the right move was made because all these elements interact to create a new experience. This allows us to create Interactive installations, these sculptures use a combination of motors, sensors, and other electronics to create an immersive and interactive experience for the viewer. They may include projections, sound, and other sensory elements to create a complete experience.
With an array of onboard sensors, Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity, and the ability to perform edge AI tasks thanks to its nRF52840 SoC, the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense is a great choice for a wide variety of embedded applications. Further demonstrating this point, a group of students from the Introduction to Embedded Deep Learning course at Carnegie Mellon University have published the culmination of their studies through 10 excellent projects that each use the Tiny Machine Learning Kit and Edge Impulse ML platform. Wrist-based human activity recognition Traditional human activity tracking has relied on the use of smartwatches and phones to recognize certain exercises based on IMU data. However, few have achieved both continuous and low-power operation, which is why Omkar Savkur, Nicholas Toldalagi, and Kevin Xie explored training an embedded model on combined accelerometer and microphone data to distinguish between handwashing, brushing one’s teeth, and idling. Their project continuously runs inferencing on incoming data and then displays the action on both a screen and via two LEDs. Categorizing trash with sound In some circumstances, such as smart cities or home recycling, knowing what types of materials are being thrown away can provide a valuable datapoint for waste management systems. Students Jacky Wang and Gordonson Yan created their project, called SBTrashCat, to recognize trash types by the sounds they make when being thrown into a bin. Currently, the model can three different kinds, along with background noise and human voices to eliminate false positives. Distributed edge machine learning The abundance of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has meant an explosion of computational power and the amount of data needing to be processed before it can become useful. Because a single low-cost edge device does not possess enough power on its own for some tasks, Jong-Ik Park, Chad Taylor, and Anudeep Bolimera have designed a system where
