Hi,
It would be nice to have the opposite of a KC868-AI board but for outputs only. Call it KC868-AO
.
Maybe for 32 / 64 channels, without extras like inputs. Just the MOSFET driver lines, ESP32, ethernet RJ45 and maybe I2C, RS485 or some other serial header.
Just ordered a KC868-A128 because I wanted the output flexibility of Mosfets, but the entire loaded board is actually too much.
Having Inputs and Outputs separated and both driven by ESP32s would be awesome. It eliminates single points of failure a bit and you could physically spread I/O across wider locations by simply using ethernet.
