    Update firmware offline

    Hi, You have the latest firmware (1.5). The calibration in progress status is wrong reported, there is no calibration in progress if you did not start one. The two issues that you reported might need a new firmware version which can not be done without the Pi connected to the internet. The...

    Eight MOSFETS switch speed

    Hi, -The Eight MOSFET V3.1 is made with an I2C IOExpander, the switch time is limited by the I2C speed and by the fact that Raspberry OS is not real-time. - Switching 2 or more channels with different commands will increase the delay but you can set the state of all relays in a single...

    RTD Wiring

    Usually, on a 3-wire RTD sensor, you have 2 of one color and one of a different color. On the card is drawn a resistor with 3 pins, 2 pins are drawn connected together and there must be connected the 2 wires of the same color and the remaining wire to the 3'th pin.

    Using the Real Time Clock on the Industrial I/O board

    If you put the script in cron or run it at few minutes interval from exec node, it will maintain the system time.

    Bookworm SM16relind - Problems Thonny - import fails

    It might be an idea to install the library directly without the virtual environment. Open a terminal, browse to the 16relind-rpi/python/ folder, and then run "sudo python setup.py install". This should install the library for the Python interpreter Thonny uses.

    Issues with 4-20mA output

    This is a possibility since the constant current circuit can not respond instantly, the output transistor might experience some high transient current.

    RTD Documentation & Wish list

    Hi Tony, I did not feel pushed, I tried to give you a solution before we will take care of the problem. Thank you for the complete review but I am not sure we will be able to take care of the list too soon. Thanks again and I hope you did not feel offended by my last post. Alex.

    Building Automation v4.2 documentation

    The easy way is to add a new exec node for each channel and connect the input of one exec node to the output of the previous so the new command will be executed after the previous one is finished.

    RTD Documentation & Wish list

    Hi Tony, We will take time to correct the help function for the threshold features, but if you need it fast you always can do the same in the raspberry (python or shell script that monitor the values and turn the LED's) The switch samples feature does not apply to the actual version of the...

    Issues with 4-20mA output

    Hi, The connection you describe (the one from the manual) can not damage the card but if you tried different combinations, it might. The channel 4 looks damaged if the current is fixed at 65mA. You might try to calibrate the channel 3.

    Issues with 4-20mA output

    Hi Please tell me the card hardware version, or share a picture with the top side of the card. In the last version we change the 4-20mA output connector. We added +24V (or card input voltage) to the connector so you will not need an external power source. You can connect your load directly...
