CPA8ds8out: 8x temperature (sensor DS18B20) + 8 outputs controlled by TEXT commands (from PC, PLC...)
Note: Used temperature sensor(s): DS18B20
Download the HEX codes below, unpack, and upload to the proper Arduino board (Use a free net tool for example XLoader)
1. ATmega328-16MHz (MINI,NANO,UNO...): Hex-m328
2. AtMega2560 (Mega(ATMEGA2560)........): Hex-m2560
Based on the offered TEXT commands, you can develop your own PC, PLC ... communication code, and applications...
Available ASCII TEXT commands (Default: ID=1 Baud=9600): Test uploaded code using some free serial software such as Termite.TextCommamd format: ID(device identifier) + TextCommand + ENTER
IDAT - attention command (return ID+OK) - example for ID=1: 1AT
IDVx - returns status of input x (x=01-08 01-08=temperature) - example for ID=1: 1V01
IDOxH - set OUTx (x=1-8) at Hi(5V) level - example for ID=1: 1O1H
IDOxL - set OUTx (x=1-8) at Lo(0V) level - example for ID=2: 2O1L
Additional commands (after uploading the code, do next:):
Connect Arduino to PC (if in your hardware use RS485 module connected to D0/D1 - Arduino must be out of hardware)- use Termite):
ID=device identifier BAUD=device Baud rate
ID? - returns ID
ID=x (set new ID x=1-9 or A, B, C, D, E, F, - example: ID=2 or ID=A ... ) Note: ID=0 means there is NO ID!
BAUD=x (set the new baud rate: supported x=1200,2400.4800,9600,19200,38400,57600 - example: BAUD=19200 )
Note: Be careful when changing BAUD! Remember the new set BAUD value in case of further settings!
