Interface Options
- I1 SSH – The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol is a method for securely sending commands to a computer over an unsecured network. SSH uses cryptography to authenticate and encrypt connections between devices. SSH also allows for tunneling, or port forwarding, which is when data packets are able to cross networks that they would not otherwise be able to cross. SSH is often used for controlling servers remotely, for managing infrastructure, and for transferring files.
- I2 RPi Connect – enable/disable Raspberry Pi Connect, a secure remote access solution for Raspberry Pi OS, allowing you to connect to your Raspberry Pi desktop and command line directly from any browser.
- I3 VNC – VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing, a cross-platform screensharing system that allows remote control of another computer
- I4 SPI – SPI is the “Serial Peripheral Interface”, widely used with embedded systems because it is a simple and efficient interface: basically a multiplexed shift register.
- I5 I2C – I2C (Inter-IC) is a synchronous, multi-controller/multi-target (controller/target), packet switched, single-ended, serial communication bus invented in 1982 by Philips Semiconductors.
- I6 Serial Port
- I7 1-Wire – 1-Wire is a wired half-duplex serial bus designed by Dallas Semiconductor that provides low-speed data communication and supply voltage over a single conductor. 1-Wire is similar in concept to I2C, but with lower data rates and longer range.
- I8 – Remote GPIO – this option lets you control robot servo monitors or other connected GPIO devices.
