## Specific Hardware of the PPUC Project
6465
We designed some specific PCBs for PPUC project although they might be useful in other applications as well. Here is an overview what is available and what they can do. Fore more information there is a detailed description available for each PCB.
65-
* [IO_16_8_1](https://github.com/PPUC/Hardware_IO_16_8_1/): most basic PCB, always needed. Uses for reading switches, driving solenoids and control one LED strip.
66-
* [IO_16x8_matrix](https://github.com/PPUC/Hardware_IO_16x8_matrix/): convenient if a switch matrix is used. Especially if the original cable harness shall be used. Can control a 16x8 switch matrix. Or use for 16 inputs and 8 outputs. Also can control one LED strip.
67-
* [Out_8x10](https://github.com/PPUC/Hardware_Out_8x10/): convenient if a lamp matrix is used. Especially if the original cable harness shall be used. Can control a 8x10 lamp matrix [^f1] (only LEDs, no incandescent light bulbs!). Or use for 8 high side outputs and 10 low side outputs. Also can control one LED strip.
68-
* [Opto_16](https://github.com/PPUC/Hardware_Opto_16/): used to directly attach optical switches like opto couplers or LED transmitter/receiver pairs.

The following table shows how many functions can be done with wich PCB. With that table you can estimate how many PCBs you need for your specific project. Just count the needed solenoids, flashers, lamps and switches. Take into account if you want to use controlled LED strips vs LED matrix vs direct LED drivers (mostly a mixture is used). Also think about direct switches vs switch matrix. And take into account if you have original opto boards from your pin or not.
