I am using code based mostly on the VoltageRatio example. But, adapted for the DAQ1500 and a 3133 load cell connected to a HUB0000. In general the code works. However, If I kill the code (I just added a wait for a Return after the open) and let the code run to the end, with a close(), I must try sev...

If anyone cares... I solved the problem in an interesting manner. The 1054 was the way to go, but apparently the relay that was switching the 1054's 5v output back to its input was not clean. I saw a continually changing range of frequencies. So, instead, I used the relay to switch ground to a Digit...

I have a new gate controller(GiBiDi BA230) and would like to interface it to my home automation system. The challenge of the moment is to detect the gate state. There is a controller output that provides 24vdc according to the following pattern Gate State - Voltage Closed - 0vdc Opening - 24vdc puls...

Thanks.

I wish to use a 1054 Frequency Counter to measure the frequency of a flashing 24vdc lamp. More accurately, the 24vcd is pulsed at either 4 or 8 Hz and I wish to measure that rate. The question is, rather than use a relay, I wanted to just use a voltage dropping resistor to get the signal below the 2...

Ok. Two nice bright LEDs, plus a little shielding around the light sensor, did the trick. I now get a difference between nothing and something in the mailbox that exceeds 3 times the sensor threshold. I.e., with the threshold set at 3, I see SensorValues with nothing present of 10. But, with a small...

WoW. Thanks. I'll try 2 LEDs and lower the resistance a bit.

I want to detect the presence of an object in a contained space (actually, a mailbox) h: 30cm x w: 30cm d: 38cm. I have tried various approaches (IR presence, IR distance, sonar distance) and all had issues. I.e. not enough clarity between a small object and no object. However, it seems to me that a...
