@DJ Thank you for your prompt response.

@ptp Thank You for the suggestion. I have already done that, the boss said no.

@phg Not a clickable button, but a button yes, that I assign a picture to, based on the status of the code I give it.

When you click the image button the button changes. That's part of the software, I understand that. I had originally thought this could be done, based on the searches I found in the forums. I did not see any initial code to help me get started.

The project is to monitor 21 lights. They all have dry relay output contacts. I was going to use the EZB and all ports to monitor the device that controls the lights. Since the light controller was made in the 1960's and after months of research, I found the EZB the easiest and simplest way to do this. So far so good, until I ran into the snag of the display GUI that I am trying to design. But no harm no foul.

I will have to tell the boss man that this is the best we can do for now. There is always room to upgrade.

Wayne, I will consider adding a mobile feedback feature as you requested. I can see it being useful for a few scenarios.

Tell the bossman that ezrobot will eventually have that ability in a few weeks or so.

@ptp With your permission may I use your idea?

@DJ Thank You! I know both the boss and myself will be most appreciated. Since the light monitoring system will be shared with another company via the built in web page - awesome by the way. I still have a lot more work to do. What is the best way to contact you directly DJ? The forum? Do you have an email address?

Thanks!

Stay tuned for ARC future updates that may be relevant to your feature request. I have no timeline associated with feature requests.

@Wayne,

off-course, no issues, we are here to help & share & learn.

Question Please: Whenever use GetDigitial Port 20,21,22 , the end result is always a 1. I have nothing tied to the ports. The Ezb is just running, and my PC is connected to it. What is the cause of this?

@Wayne,

When you perform a read over an unconnected pin, you will get floating values, can be alternating between zero and one, always one, always zero.

Nothing wrong with your ezb. If you want to test the theory, connect GND to ports 20,21,22 and you will get always zero.

Also, note there is a 5v limit to the digital logic pins. If you provide too much current to the logic pins, it will damage the ezb and those pins will stop working correctly. Please consult the datasheet of the ezb for voltage limits.

You will find the datasheet in the ezb course: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Course/5
