New OpenPlotter GPIO app available

[Lazzz]

-Add pulses:



What can we do with pulses?

Using reed switches on any object with circular motion you will be able to measure revolutions, speed and distance. Some examples:

• Wind speed
  
• Motor revolutions (RPM)
  
• Dropped anchor chain length
  
• ...
  

You can set Signal K keys for any of the available magnitudes:



Setting a Signal k key for "Reset" will set revolution counter and distance to 0 when that Signal k key is "true".

We will add fluid measurement if requested.

Pulses introduces the concept of remote GPIOs. You can control the GPIOs of any Raspberry running pigpio and connected to the same network.

Digital sensors management coming soon.

Test and report please

I have just installed a reed switch on my windlass going to a counter and I want to run this through the GPI app as well. I couldn't find anything in the Docs.

The 2 wires from the reed switch go to what on the Pi4?? One will go to a GPIO pin but where does the other go??

I have also just connected my float switch & PIR to the Digital feature with no dramas - can't wait for the IoT app.

Sorry for being a dumbass!! 

TIA
