Raspberry 3 Buster can't find 0/16/16

Hi! I followed the instructions in: https://www.phidgets.com/?view=articles&article=EducationTutorialStartPi on a totally new installation of Buster on a Raspberry Pi 3 model B v1.2 and have an external power supply attached to a hub between the Pi and the Phidget. I can do lsusb and get: Bus 00...

Re: Motion sensor 24V on 0/16/16

And here is the _real_ final conclusion: don't test this kind of stuff with the Phidget USB connected to a USB loader! The Phidget board works differently than when the USB is connected to the USB port of a PC. Why? Don't have the slightest clue, beats my logic. But as you have understood by now, I'...

Re: Motion sensor 24V on 0/16/16

No, seems like there is only one year warranty from shipment date, so I'll just have to throw this one away and buy a new :-(

Re: Motion sensor 24V on 0/16/16

After lowering the power voltage to the TDL a little, that works as it should. After a lot of testing, I found that the input ports on the phidget stay on after they once have been lit, even if I remove the wire! So I tested on another phidget 0/16/16 (which is in use for house warming control, so I...

Re: Motion sensor 24V on 0/16/16

Hi again! You are really helpful here, I think we are getting close to the root. I thought all the G's on the 0/16/16 where connected on the board? If not, why is it not the V between the input port 0 and the G next to it that define if the port is on? Which port is the boards own G? After reading y...

Re: Motion sensor 24V on 0/16/16

Update: it seems I have been confused by the lights on the 0/16/16. The light on input port 0 lights when the output from the TDL-758 is connected, whether the voltage (measured on 0/16/16 connectors G and 0) is 24V or 0V??? I haven't connected to pc yet, but I would guess it would show the port as ...

Re: Motion sensor 24V on 0/16/16

Thanks for the tip! The timer is on 15s. If I connect only 24V in and not the output, it works like it should. After a movement, it triggers on and stays like that for around 15s, then goes down. But as soon as I connect the output, it switches on instantly when I connect power and only blinks off s...

Re: Motion sensor 24V on 0/16/16

Thank you very much!

Yes, I found out about the 8/8/8 input <15V. So I tested on a 0/16/16.

If I use the 5V output from the board, nothing is triggered.

If I attach 24V external power, the TDL-758 just goes constantly off/on...

Motion sensor 24V on 0/16/16

Hi! I have bought a number of motion sensors of type TDL-758. This raises the output signal to the same as the input voltage when triggered, for a time that can be adjusted. I use 24V in my house control system, because the easiest relays to get hold of use 24V to switch. I want to use phidgets to r...
