This class reads in a digital value of a connected voltage. If the input voltage is high (3V - 30.3V), a 0 is read at the input of the extender module. This is caused by a circuit to galvanicly separate the external voltage from the extender voltage.

I used Velleman’s IR Light Barrier as the source. Normally the output is a zoomer, but I took the output signal instead an connected it indirectly to the extender module.

The advantage of this mix of hard- and software is that you can simulate a switch by a power source.

Hi,
Nice one. But what are the uses of this. How this can be used for special purposes.

Your post is really good. I am also interested to know where it can be used and how efficiently can it be used.

Cool! What range does this sensor have?
