READ MORESetting up Time Lapse Photography on a V2 Controller
This post will try and cover what is required to setup a time lapse system on a Kijanigrows V2 Control board using a webcam, and an SD card. Let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any questions about the process. I am very new to coding...
READ MOREusing 1-wire temperature sensors with the v2 controller
connecting 1-wire temperature sensors The 1-wire protocol allows us to connect numerous 1-wire sensors on the same digital pin since the individual 1-wire sensors are addressable. 1-wire temperature sensors have 3 pins, a power line(red), ground(black/green) and data line (yellow/white) in the diagram below.switching on parasitic resistors A 4.7k parasitic resistor is required between...
READ MOREAssigning your v2 controller a unique host name
A unique controller name is required for visualizing you sensor data remotely. By default your board name is build from the number found on the sticky tag on the back of your board is the unique. For example if your board number is 31, then the default board name is...
READ MOREConnecting sensors to a v2 controller
Sensor types: V2 smart controllers support different sensors including digital sensors(eg a float switch), analogue sensors(eg photocell), 1-wire sensor(temperature), i2c, serial and usb based sensors The v2 board can interface most of these directly without any extra external circuitry. Connecting digital sensors connecting digital sensors to v2 controllers using internal...
