ZSK E-Tex Board

Introducing the ZSK E-Tex Board - a powerful microcontroller board that opens up a world of possibilities for creating cutting-edge Smart Textiles. It features a carefully crafted geometry and layout, developed especially for reliable integration with the ZSK embroidery machines.

With its Microchip® SAMD21 microcontroller and periferal components, the ZSK E-Tex Board allows you to connect multiple capacitive touch sensors and LEDs, such as the ZSK LED Sequin, directly to the board without the need for additional circuitry. 20 GPIO pins provide you with the flexibility to program and customize the PCB to suit the unique requirements of your project.

Please note that to program the ZSK E-Tex Board, you will need an SWD-enabled SAM-programmer and a ZSK programming cable. Alternatively, if you're looking to use the board for specific ZSK Smart Textiles applications, you can purchase a pre-programmed ZSK E-Tex Board with application-specific firmware. Additionally, we offer a ZSK E-Tex Board Development Kit that includes the ZSK E-Tex Board and everything you need for programming.

Don't have programming experience? No worries! Contact us if you're looking to use the board for specific ZSK Smart Textiles applications. Alternatively, our skilled engineers can develop custom firmware for your specific application, so you can bring your unique ideas to life with ease.
