Raspberry Pi CM5 Mosfet Controller for Smart Home & Industrial Automation - KinCony Pi5M16

Product Overview

KinCony Pi5M16 is a powerful Raspberry Pi-based IoT gateway designed for smart home automation and industrial control applications. Powered by the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5), it integrates 16-channel MOSFET outputs, optocoupler-isolated digital inputs, analog inputs, RS232/RS485 communication interfaces, PWM outputs, and multiple expansion interfaces into a compact DIN rail aluminum enclosure.

Pi5M16 is an ideal solution for automation projects requiring reliable DC load control. The CM5 directly manages MOSFET outputs, digital inputs, analog inputs, PWM outputs, and serial communication ports, making it easy to develop applications using Node-RED, Home Assistant, Python, MQTT, Modbus, and other Linux-based software platforms.

Important Notes

microSD Card Usage

If you are using a CM5 module with onboard eMMC storage, the microSD card slot cannot be used.

The microSD slot is only available when using a CM5 Lite module.

Programming CM5 via USB-C

To access the eMMC or microSD card from a Windows PC:

1. Connect the Pi5M16 to your computer using a USB-C cable.
2. Run the Raspberry Pi rpiboot utility.
3. The eMMC or microSD storage will appear as a removable drive.
4. Flash Raspberry Pi OS or other Linux images directly.
