  I-O testing board
Posted by: Olsen@HuaHin - 03-29-2023, 08:04 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (3)

Hi

I received my KC868-A16 board last week and are at the moment testing I-O before starting to write any Arduino code.

My firmware is the latest version 1.0.19

I can from the web portal activate each output, but I cannot see any incoming inputs and they will not toggle assigned output.

I am using the 12v dc from your supplied power supply and I connected GND to input terminals.

Any idea what I am doing wrong.

Question RS485 not receiving anything
Posted by: victorclaessen - 03-28-2023, 03:53 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (26)

Hi,

I have the A16 wired up to a RS485 expansion board (16 inputs, 16 outputs) that is controlled by modbus RTU.

I have the ESP32 programmed with ESPHome. I can send commands to the expansion board, and I have control over the outputs (I see the onboard output-LEDs toggling), and I can see from the onboard communication LED on the expansion board that the expansion board sends a modbus response, but the ESP32 on the A16 does not receive anything on pin 16 (485RX).

I have verbose logs activated on the UART defined in ESPHome. I can see the raw bytes leaving on pin 13 (485TX), but no bytes are arriving on pin 16.
Obviously, I also cannot read the inputs of the expansion board (as that would require receiving the modbus response).

Are you sure that the RX pin number is correct? Could it be that I have a broken pcb trace?

Best regards,

Victor

P.S. Below is the relevant part of the esphome configuration

  ESPHOME KC868-E16S
Posted by: rodrigomallmann - 03-26-2023, 01:19 PM - Forum: KC868-E16S/E16P - Replies (11)

Olá, tudo bem, estou tentando implementar o esphome via home assistant no KC868-E16S, porem quando inicia a compilação esta dando um erro conforme imagem em anexo, e no final do processo de instalacao quando tento acionar o relay pelo switch touch o relay nao fica armado. Poderia me orientar onde eu estou errando no processo. Um detalhe importante, se instalo a versao web, o equipamento funciona normalmente.
