    Re: Active low transmitter question

    Excellent, voltage divider it is then.




    Yes I do fit into that category (mildly at present), will look at at a backup with Zenner.

    Re: Active low transmitter question

    I never thought of that, great idea, cheers Richard.

    What do you think the best way to drop the 12v from the sensor output to 3.3v into the pic, would the voltage divider be ok/work?

    "what relay ? specs ?"

    Hi Richard - I haven't got around to choosing one as yet.

    I need a relay activated by the pic (3.3v) via a transistor/mosfet to switch an alarm sounder on (fairly loud...

    Thanks again peterdeco1 - If there's two parts to order from, I'm the guy who orders the wrong one (but not in this case thanks to you).

    Re: Active low transmitter question

    Thanks for the reply peterdeco1 - So would that be the same wiring / resistor configuration as the 2N7000 (see link diagram) a straight swap in other words?

    Re: Active low transmitter question

    As an aside. Has anyone used a 2N7000 Mosfet attached to a 3.3v pic output to drive a relay?

    The schematic (link below) is exactly what I want to do from a pic output pin rather than the Receiver...

    OK - So I managed to get a call into the salesman today and he said:

    Sorry guys another question from me.

    The demo video shows a lady pressing a push button to ground on Tx Input pin1, which on the Rx latches an led on, so:

    Thanks for that Ioannis - I think 3.3v is the best option here.

    So switching Vin LOW (from pic) causes a Tx?

    So to make the transmitter Tx once only, the way to do it is just have one pin state change - High to Low or Low to High?

    Re: Active low transmitter question

    Hi Richard

    I got the idea of a Tx being initiated from the Data sheet 'When configured as transmitter: Pins 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 Inputs are internally pulled high, active low'

    But as you...

    Ok - So the transmitter will always Tx twice, on a button press to ground, then open contacts (if using a button). Or a transition from HIGH to LOW to High if using a pic GPIO pin to cause a Tx,...

    Here's the Rx schematic. When an Rx is received it outputs 5v onto the corresponding pin, which will then be read by the pic.

    the data so far indicates no need for pullups , the schematic shows none.

    a pic pin when configured as output will never "float" its either high or low when set"
