NORVI GSM-AE08-V-G – USER GUIDE

Programming  #

The NORVI GSM-AE08-V-G 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.

SoC: ESP32-WROOM32
Programming Port: USB UART

Digital Inputs #

Wiring Digital Inputs  #

The digital inputs of the NORVI GSM-AE08-V-G can be configured as both Sink and Source connections. The inverse of the Digital Input polarity 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 input is 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(9600); 
   Serial.println("Device Starting"); 
   pinMode(INPUT1, INPUT); 
} 

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

0 – 10V Analog Input #

Wiring Analog Inputs #

Reading Analog Input #

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

Programming Analog Inputs  #

#include <Adafruit_ADS1X15.h> 
#include <Wire.h> 
Adafruit_ADS1115 ads1; 

void setup() { 
   Serial.begin(9600); 
   Serial.println("Device Starting");

Built-in OLED Display #

Refer to the GPIO allocation table in the Datasheet for the I2C GPIO of the OLED Display.

Library supported by the Adafruit_SSD0306 Library.

Wire.begin (SDA, SCL) is required to initialize I2C on the correct pins.

#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 64 // OLED display height, in pixels 

// Declaration for an SSD1306 display connected to I2C (SDA, SCL pins) 
#define OLED_RESET -1 // Reset pin # (or -1 if sharing Arduino reset pin) Adafruit_SSD1306 display(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, &Wire, OLED_RESET); 

void setup() {

     for(;;); // Don't proceed, loop forever 
   } 
   // Show initial display buffer contents on the screen –
   // the library initializes this with an Adafruit splash screen.
