Tower Plug-In Carrier Module
Incorporating sensors, radios and other peripheral elements into your embedded design is easy with the Tower® Plug-In Carrier Module (TWR-TWRPI-BD).
This peripheral module enables rapid prototyping and evaluation by allowing the addition of up to three general purpose Tower Plug-Ins (TWRPIs), including accelerometers, barometers, radios, and more.
As is standard with all Tower System modules, this peripheral module is interchangeable across the modular development platform and can be used with a variety of existing controller modules, including the TWR-K60D100M and TWR-K70F120M.
