@tbowmo more out of curiosity, and from someone that just got started on electronics, so please sorry if this sounds like very noob, but, would it not be safer to plug the V_TARGET LED to the +3.3v pin? How do you ensure that the resistor on the V_TARGET will have constant voltage and that will not blow from over voltage if the VCCio pin is depended on the the Motherboard power?
Thank You and nice work
Thanks for all the info all
But still have the problem with vera3 on ui7
Cribben, I follow the instructions on the my sensor vera plugin and it comes up with ver 1.3 and no lib #
how did you get the new plugin to load
Any help at all would be welcome as ui7 is not too smooth yet.
Not yet !
In fact, the interrupt must be short enough and fast enough to be sure to not miss the RFM69 interrupts.
The code for 8 dimmers will not be really more complicated : in fact, each time we got a zero cross, we must set a timer to zero, and then wait the good amount of milliseconds to turn on the needed outputs.
So, yes, we'll have an interrupts each 10ms (each time the wave crosses the zero, to be precise !), but I think all we have to do in the interrupt handler is set the timer to zero (or to micros() ...) and then on the main loop, wait the good amount of time for each output before setting them ON.
Seems simple on paper, perhaps it will not work on the chip....
In facts, my main concern is : will the RFM interrupt be short enough to not disturb the zero crossing interrupt ?
Although, not yet tested the RFM : do we NEED the interrupt pin ? Can't we poll frequently the RFM?
