The first nControl squared’s will be arriving at the end of this year (2009) and we expect testing and certification to take approximately 2-3 months. This means that we are on track for an April launch of the new product line.

Following on from the nControl squared, will be a range of USB powered peripheral devices. The current devices on the road map include:

  • 8 DI – 6 Relay Output IO module with temperature sensor
  • RS232, 422, and 485 serial modules
  • 7 port LAN switch

Further to this we plan to certify drivers for specific third party USB devices such as a range of USB 3G modems, and USB Webcams.

This product is also designed to be used as a general purpose embedded computer. So if you have an application that requires a specific peripheral to be included, then please contact paul@clearboxsystems.com.au with your design requests.
