I have a IOT relay and was wondering how I should hook it up to the Jackpot 3. Looks like I need to use an output?
I tried to find this topic in the forums but didnt find it.
If already answered I am sorry and if you could kindly add the link that would be great!
We need more details from you.
What model of IOT relay ?
What do you intend to run with the relay?
This one was recommended I think in the LowRider 4 Documentation
I want it to turn on my vacuum and router
I have this same one, when I get home I can double check and let you know how I have it hooked up
First, go here to check the docs: Jackpot3 CNC Controller - V1 Engineering Documentation
Next, you want to run a wire from the 5 volt pin (27) to the green connector on the side of the IOT relay. Then just plug in your vacuum and router to the 2 switched power outlets.
No programming required in Fluid?
If you followed the milling basics, you already have the required setup.
The M62 P1 (If used start spindle pin27 ) and M63 P1 (stop spindle pin27) lines is what sends the command to the IOT device. These are buttons on the WebUI interface, too.
Yes that’s in my startup code. Thanks!
Ok so I got the iot to trigger but its just for a split second. How do I keep it on?
Its like hitting the pin 27 on macro doesn’t stay on
So, when touching 27 on, it just comes on for a second and then goes off? Sounds like the board isn’t holding the power. I am on a Jackpot 2 and it works fine.
Ya, I click them macro button and I hear the vacum start up for a second and then turn off. Same with the light on the IOT relay for indicating when the relay is pulled in.
I am not sure. Maybe @vicious1 can help.
Does it change anything if you have nothing plugged into the outlets?
Watch the terminal to see if there is any errors
There are three other ports do any of them work as you expect?
Sorry for wasting your all’s time. It was my fault. Had the power to the board plugged into the nomally on outlet. It works now. Sorry!
I’m happy as long as it works!
