  • Serial Wombat 4B Chip

    Easily add a few more I/O or A/D channels to your project through I2C. 3 Input-Output and 1 input only pin. 3x ADCs, PWM, Servo, 2x rotary encoders, or 4 Debounced buttons

  • Serial Wombat 18AB Chip

    The Serial Wombat 18AB chip is a smart IO Expander and Real-Time-Control co-processor.

    It adds smart I/O capability to Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PCs, MicroPython boards or others over I2C or UART. Each Serial Wombat 18AB chip adds up to 18 I/O pins. Each pin runs a state machine 1000 times per second, offloading many common hardware interfacing tasks from the host. Pins configured to drive outputs (Digital, PWM, Servo, etc) can respond to pins configured as inputs (pulse width, duty cycle, analog, frequency, etc) through on-chip control algorithms such as hysteresis or PID.

Serial Wombat® I/O Expansion chips

Smart I/O Expansion chips for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, CircuitPython, native embedded systems, PC, or any other system that can communicate by UART or I2C.

Serial Wombat chips extend your system’s I/O capabilities and promote cross-platform compatibility.

A Serial Wombat chip is an ideal accessory when you need a few more I/O or need to do tasks that require specialized pin capabilities that aren’t available.

A Serial Wombat chip isn’t a device you program – It is a helpful accessory that you command in real time to expand your capability. Like other IC’s, it’s easily added to an I2C or Serial Bus. Unlike other IC’s, it has built in firmware that lets you offload simple but timing sensitive tasks from your code or sketch to the Serial Wombat chip’s firmware and CPU.
