Totem Mini Lab – Side Panel 1
I suppose in thanks for my review and for making contact between the Totem team and a Dutch distributor, they decided to send me a pre-production version of their Side Panel 1.
Functions
It’s a board with a couple of functions that make testing with the Arduino easier – especially for beginners. It features:
- 3 push-push switches with LED indicators;
- 3 Potentiometers (10kOhms);
- 1 Rotary encoder switch;
- 3 push button switches;
- 1 RGB-LED (in theory it can show virtually any color);
- 1 3.5mm Jack connector;
- 1 Relay , 10A/250v , with LED indicator.
