Sensor Output channels are used with sensors with the three pin structure - SIG, GND, 5v, that can either deliver a digital or analog reading.
The status of the input can be used as part of your WHEN: Values match in Behaviours in order to trigger actions
Adding
- In Channels click 'Add channel' and select 'Sensor Input'
- Enter a name that you would like to call it
- You will be presented with the channel view
Current value
- Shows the current state of the channel either if it is virtual (for testing) or patched to hardware as a tick box
- The channel is only represented as digital (on or off) in your show
Settings
- Thresholds
- When a sensor is connected, it's current signal will be represented on the graph
- You are able to set the lower (RED) and upper (GREEN) thresholds of your sensor
- The current state tick box will only be activated if the peak of goes above the upper threshold and falls below the lower threshold
- Debounce
- Like a Digital Input, you can change the sensitivity (e.g.if the correct peaks are very short, you will want a lower debounce OR if you want to ignore small peaks, set the debounce higher)
Patching
- From here you can patch the channel to any available DC Master channels
- If it appears blank you need to create a box in devices in order to patch (see Adding boxes)
- You can also patch Analog Output channels in the device view (see Patching channels to the Sensor Master)
