  KC868-D8 Dimmer 1-10V, logarithmic
Posted by: bogdan_0 - 05-25-2022, 07:00 AM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (3)

Hello

1. Is there any setting that I can use KC868-D8 dimmer as "1-10V"?
I have found a led driver din rail format (which would reduce the occupied space in my automation cabinet) but I need to work on 1-10V range instead of 0-10V.
example: https://www.sunricher.com/din-rail-0-1-1...ifications


2. I understand that KC868-D8 is a liniar driver; so in order to achieve a smooth logarithmic turn-on/off of light intensity I should combine it with a logarithmic led driver. please tell if I am wrong.

  ADC pins
Posted by: Amaral989 - 05-22-2022, 03:54 AM - Forum: KC868-Server Raspberry Pi4 local server - Replies (4)

Hello, 
This is all new to me and trying to learn as i go along. 
I have a resistance sensor that reads water tank levels. Full level it reads 33ohms, empty level reads 240ohms. 
I'm trying to understand how to hook this sensor up. I'm assuming it needs to be on ADC 0. 
If it does , i dont see anything occuring . 

Thank you for you help. 
john
