Z Wave Module and still using GPIO - bang - 01-14-2017
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?
