IP67-rated Helios SK51 CAN Keypad adds five programmable RGB tactile buttons to CAN Bus applications

Helios SK51 CAN Keypad is a waterproof (IP67-rated) keypad connected over CAN Bus with five tactile silicone buttons and LED backlighting. Each button is fully programmable and offers a 24-bit RGB color option. In some ways, it reminds me of the T-Keyboard-S3-Pro mechanical keypad, but instead of relying on USB, the SK51 CAN Keypad works over a CAN Bus compliant with the SAE J1939 standard, and it’s designed for more demanding environments. Helios SK51 specifications 5x programmable buttons with integrated display, each with a status LED on top. CAN protocols SAE J1939 compatible protocol Transmit – Button status on press/release or 1s interval Receive Simple Mode: Set backlight & status LED colors, brightness, and flash Full RGB: 24-bit RGB per LED (16.7 million colors) CAN Termination – Not Fitted USB – USB-C for firmware update Supply Voltage – 6 to 35 VDC Power Consumption – 5 to 200mA, depending on […]
