PiFaceRelayPlus addressing

casbreakwater
casbreakwater over 10 years ago

As they are addressable, I want to stack the relayplus boards.

I can use all the relays/inputs/outputs on a single plus board and extra board not a problem.

I am just not sure of the syntax and I cant find any documentation referring to the addressing of multiple boards.

I gather the address is set in the initialisation code ie pfr = pifacerelayplus.PiFaceRelayPlus(pifacerelayplus.RELAY).

Any one have any ideas?

    The normal library based driver software may not support it, the boards are driven by SPI though so you can fairly easily drive them yourself scripting the SPI commands if needed

    Peter, AFAIK there is also a sort of SPI Rack that will support a stacked series of devices, not necessarily all different.

    True but the newest of the PI Face Digitals are stackable without it, they look like the ones in Enrico's post http://www.element14.com/community/message/166893/l/re-pifacerelayplus-addressing#166893

     

    Regards

    Peter
