General Info
The Kpad is available in two variants, making it available to a wider array of TERN controllers. The Kpad-IO version is driven by 15 programmable TTL I/O pins (and also + 5V and GND signals).
This makes it compatible with essentially any TERN controller with simple wiring between the unit and the controller.
The Kpad-Bus version makes any custom wiring unnecessary. For TERN controllers with an accessible 20×2 J1 header (check with us if you’re not sure), the Kpad-Bus can be connected directly via the attached socket.
A simple flat-ribbon cable can also be used to connect the unit. Smaller boards like the A-Core can even be directly soldered onto the back of the Kpad-Bus.
