8 Output Relay Board
Introduction
The 8 output board is just a simple solid state relay board that allows you to connect up to 8 devices to your cabinet. It also has a nice shaker motor controller so you can connect a shaker motor to your setup easily as well. If you find yourself in a situation where you need just 8 simple outputs but don't want to mess with an encoder or complicated configuration then this is a good option. It's fully DOF and DOFLinx compatible and is auto detected too, so it's fairly plug and play for getting it to work.
