Option - Aux Expansion Ports
Extra AUX ports turn the Rayfin into an Ethernet mux for four devices. Each Aux port has a Resettable Circuit Breaker with fault detection.
Camera as a mux directly controls LEDs, lasers, pan-tilts, and other sensors. Supports up to 4 aux ports—Long-duration timelapse and API for automation.
For protection, Aux0, Aux1, and Aux3 have a current limit of 3.3 amps. Aux2 has a 5 amp for a Pan-tilt. It will also detect under-voltage, over-voltage, and short circuits and generate a resettable fault.
The expansion output has specific commands in the SubC API. Rayfin Scripting API | Expansion Board.
