[Arduino IDE of KC868-E16S]--#00-KC868-E16S-configure for ESPhome

[petez69]

Hello,


Why "extend a relay module"? Why not a "smart controller" such as KC868-A8 or KC868-A64? For me, KC868-E16S is an "extended" KC868-A16 with a relay module for a DIN rail KC868-E16 . In my opinion, a more logical name is KC868-A16E (KC868-A16 + relay module).

KC868-E16S is a very expandable controller, but the ethernet and USB connectors were badly designed because it is not possible to use a case box, the same is true for the KC868-A64. Why USB-B appeared on the board, who uses such a connector?

Best regards

I program PLCs and USB-B is widely used.  I much prefer the larger USB connector for programming as the USB-C is fragile......its a good choice...
