This relay plugin allows the user to turn on or off any additional hardware piece on their Pioreactor at a specific channel (as stated in the Configuration).
Install from the Pioreactor plugins web interface or the command line:
pio install-plugin pioreactor-relay-plugin # to install directly on the Pioreactor
# OR, on the leader's command line:
pios install-plugin pioreactor-relay-plugin # to install on all Pioreactors in a cluster
Or install through the web interface (Plugins tab). This will install the plugin on all Pioreactors within the cluster.
(Optional) Edit the following to your config.ini, or in the Configurations tab on the web interface:
[PWM]
<the PWM channel you pick>=relay
[relay]
hz=100
pio run relay
Under Manage, there will be a new Activities option called Relay. Editable settings include an "on/off" switch to allow the plugin to be toggled while active.
