Wiring Digital Inputs  #

The digital inputs of NORVI EC-M11-BC-C1 can be configured as both a sink and a source connection. The inverse of the digital input polar should be supplied to the common terminal.

Programming Digital Inputs  #

Reading the relevant GPIO of the ESP32 gives the value of the digital input. When the inputs are in the OFF state, the GPIO goes HIGH, and when the inputs are in the ON state, the GPIO goes LOW. Refer to the GPIO allocation table in the datasheet for the digital input GPIO.

#define INPUT1 34
void setup() { 
   Serial.begin(115200); 
   Serial.println("Device Starting"); 

   pinMode(INPUT1, INPUT); 
} 
void loop() { 
   Serial.print(digitalRead(INPUT1));
   Serial.println(""); 
   delay(500); 
}

0-10 V Analog Input #

Reading Analog Input #

Reading the relevant I2C address of the ADC gives the value of the Analog Input.

𝑉𝑖𝑛 Passes through the voltage divider circuit.

𝑉1 = 0.4 𝑉𝑖 𝐺𝑎𝑖𝑛 =2/3 1 bit = 3mV

Based on the ads1115 reading the voltage should be,
