I/O Expansion Board (FX60) Manual

Introduction

The FX60 I/O Expansion Board adds additional inputs and outputs to the Bad ASS Controller (BAC). Available in 3 versions (8 inputs & 8 outputs, 16 inputs or 16 outputs), the FX60 accommodates a variety of I/O expansion for all those games, puzzles or room controls. Control many more lights, LEDs, electromagnets and much more with this simple I/O expansion board upgrade.

Important Errata
In Revision 0 and Revision 1 FX60 boards, Bank 2 Output 0 and Bank 2 Output 1 are swapped from the labels on the board. The LEDs are correctly aligned with the labels, but the screw terminals are not.

The furthest right screw terminal on J3 is Bank 2 Output 0, and the second from the right screw terminal on J3 is Bank 2 Output 1.

This issue is purely cosmetic and does not affect the functionality of the FX60; you should be able to adjust your wiring and control logic accordingly, as both outputs are equivalent.
