Track Volumite position using a DC meter?

[elskardio]

Hi Brian,

please keep me posted. I'm planning to order the kits soon.

Driving 6 relay board with only 2 volumite/driver would be great.

thanks

Testing went well last night, and I still have some more tweaks to make.

Basically, you will configure the Volumite to control 1-4 relay driver boards by adding jumpers between Vdd and PB1 and PB3 (on the terminal block). You then set the relay driver's address using it's 3-position dip switches.

Combine this with each driver board powering 1-3 relay boards, and you can control up to 12 channels easily from a single Volumite.

Volumite jumpers:

No Jumpers:    One relay driver board
PB1 Jumper:    Two relay driver boards
PB3 Jumper:    Three relay driver boards
PB1/3 Jumpers: Four relay driver boards

Relay Driver board dip switches

Relay Driver Board #1: off-off-off
Relay Driver Board #2: off-off-on
Relay Driver Board #3: off-on-off
Relay Driver Board #4: off-on-on

More details fo follow...

Good news

Once the new firmware is ready, I guess It will be available to order pre-programmed on the volumite?

thanks

Sure, it will be the default firmware. It's a DIP-8 chip, so easy to upgrade as well.

Hi Brian,

any news on the New Firmware?

Any chance it's ready before the end of your promotion Dec. 3 ?

Thanks
