IOlokit

IOlokit is the name used for several technology projects and products, typically in the realm of input/output (I/O) in embedded systems. The term does not designate a single, canonical product; instead it appears in multiple contexts, including hardware toolkits and software libraries that support I/O operations on microcontrollers and single-board computers.

Hardware-oriented IOlokit variants provide modular interfaces for sensors and actuators, enabling consistent connection schemes, voltage levels, and communication protocols. Software-oriented IOlokit variants offer libraries and APIs that simplify reading and controlling I/O, scheduling tasks, and managing device communication.

Because there is no universal IOlokit specification, features, supported platforms, licenses, and documentation vary by project. Users should refer to the specific project's repository or official site for precise details.

Typical goals include reducing hardware wiring complexity, improving portability of code across devices, and providing example projects that teach concepts such as polling, interrupts, and event-driven I/O.

IOlokit is used in education, prototyping, and hobbyist projects, and may be released under open-source or proprietary licenses depending on the implementation. See also related concepts such as hardware toolkits, software development kits, and I/O abstractions.
