Title: raspberry and Piface relay plus
Post by: roelloaded on March 15, 2016, 06:44:41 PM

hello everyone, I bought a Piface plus relay module with the ability to control 8 relays, and adding other modules stack is possible, via SPI control up to 64 relays. I think it would be something very useful to use with HG this hardware but do not know if someone has already thought about writing a plug-in or if I can partner with someone to create it. Thanks for ideas

Hello,
I don't use this device but perhaps the control of gpio port is sufficient ...

Did you take a look at the following program (on package manager) ?

At the end I found the excellent work of NickP who wrote a program to control the Piface Digital card via SPI and I also tested on Piface Realays Plus with excellent compatibility with the only limit of being able to control only the first relay card stack
