alpha:ONE combines high quality industrial hardware with the ease and speed of programming of MicroPython.
This allows engineers to implement prototypes and products in a fraction of the time required for traditional C/C++ based development.

**Key features:**

* Runs MicroPython out of the box
* Provides the most relevant industrial communication interfaces, such as Ethernet, Can Bus, RS232, RS422 and RS485
* Twelve 12/24V high-speed isolated digital inputs
* Six 12/24V high power outputs with up to 32A capability
* A microSD card slot to store large amounts of data, such as for extensive datalogging
* A battery-backed real time clock keeps track of the datetime also after power cycles
* Wide supply input voltage range of 6V to 36V
* The board can also be supplied directly through the Micro-USB connector for ease of use while developing
* Firmware updates are possible

**alpha:ONE is suitable for a variety of industrial and research applications, such as:**

* Programmable Logic Controller
* Rapid prototyping
* Control systems for test setups
* Signal/subsystem simulators
* Data logging
* Industrial IoT applications
