EC-M11-BC-C2-B95 – USER GUIDE

Programming  #

The NORVI EC-M11-BC-C2-B95 has a mini USB port for serial connection with the SoC for programming. Any ESP32-supported programming IDE can be used to program the controller. Follow this guide to programming NORVI ESP32-based controllers with the Arduino IDE.

Wiring Digital Inputs  #

The digital inputs of NORVI EC-M11-BC-C2-B95 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); 
}
