Hi.
Just realized that the Z wave module is connected to the full GPIO
Is there anyway you still could use any GPIO pins (for input / output) when the Z wave module is connected?
Is it using all of the pins ?
Also very disappointed that the Z wave module makes it impossible to use the Pine64 case (lid wont fit)...
regards,
bang

hi bang, the Z-wave module is a uart(x) device; that is, it is controlled ( in the case of the module that plugs into the PI bus ) by uart(2) on device /dev/ttyS2.
The module does not have to be plugged into the bus pins with the adapter; it may be connected ( with proper knowledge ) to the uart of choice ( uart(2) pi bus, uart(3) euler bus, uart(4) euler bus ).
The only pins that are required is the Vcc, ground, Tx, and Rx pins.
The Z-wave modules are serial devices.
Thanks!
If I just had taken the time to have a closer look at the Z Wave modul and the adapter I should have realized that my self
So if the adapter was better I would have been able to use the GPIO AND fit the lid....
There isn't by any chance an adapter that's already doing this
?
The other connector (EULA ?), is it possible to use this as an input (detecting hi/low) just as easy as the GPIO? If so, what pins should I use and how is the reading?
