MEASUREMENTS WITH
CHANNEL-to-CHANNEL
ISOLATION
Measurement Computing Corporation announces the release of the SC-1608 series of USB and Ethernet data
acquisition devices. The SC-1608 series features analog signal
conditioning, allowing customers to easily measure voltage,
thermocouple, RTD, strain, frequency, and current. Isolated
analog output and solid-state relays make it an ideal platform for
systems needing flexible conditioning and low cost per channel.
The SC-1608 series is priced starting from $999.
There are four devices in the SC-1608 series with sample
rates up to 500 kS/s. Each device accommodates up to eight 8B
isolated analog signal conditioning modules and eight solid-state

GOOSENECK ROBOT KIT
The Gooseneck™ now available from ServoCity is a little trail-wheel robot kit that glides effortlessly across
the floor. The 2.975” orange skate wheels are each driven
by a 195 RPM 3V-12V precision planetary gearmotor. The
“truck-bed” style chassis is ideal for battery storage,
electronics, or for hauling things around. The chassis is
almost entirely snap-together, requiring only a 7/64” hex
key for assembly. The chassis plates incorporate the
0.770” Actobotics hub pattern, allowing for easy
attachment and customization using other Actobotics
components. The protruding “Gooseneck” piece provides
a base for a robotic arm, gripper kit, scoop, or other
custom attachment. Price is
$89.99.
ACTOBOTICS GEARMOTOR
POWER INPUT BOARDS
The gearmotor power connector
boards also now
available from
ServoCity add
versatility to any
gearmotor. These
boards simply slide
over the motor
terminals and solder
in place. The preinstalled .100”
spacing row pins allow
plug-and-play
connectivity to several
different plug styles
(JST, Rx battery connector, male servo connector). The
plug-in makes switching polarity, swapping motors, and
reconfiguring a robot without firing up the soldering iron
quick and easy. Each board has multiple holes which can
be utilized to run additional wires to the motor or to daisy-chain multiple motors. It is sold with 90 degree header
pins pre-soldered to the board. Prices start at $0.69/each.
