Title: HiCON ports and pins
Post by: scrambled on June 26, 2021, 11:38:44 PM

Hi all-

Can someone explained how I can turn an output pin on/off of my HiCON?

I have my solenoid valves connected to the board, and I can force them on, but I am trying to figure out how to get sheetcam to turn them on.

Any help would be appreciated


Steve

I would suggest you use the onboard relays to activate your solenoids, assuming the voltage is compatible with the board you are using.  You'll want to actuate the solenoid through the common and a corresponding relay pin.  You didn't specify which board you are using.  That would be helpful to know to help further.
