Re: monitoring Dc help
Ok, and if that's using...
#define STAT_DC_CURRENT_ANALOG A10
I'm out of ideas.

Re: monitoring Dc help
Howard,
I checked the analogic pin and the output it correctly wired on the A10 pin directly on the mega.
I tested with a multimeter the ACS712 output, i can read 2.588 to 2.618 volts whereas the

Re: monitoring Dc help
Ok i'll do that, testing the output with a multimeter will be very instructive.
Thanks

Re: monitoring Dc help
Confirm the correct Mega2560 Analog input is connected. Again, don't use one of the protected inputs on the OCS PCB use an spare Analog input right on the Mega2560. Not much in that code to go wrong

Re: monitoring Dc help
Thank you Howard for having implemented this feature.
So i updated OCS to 2.0 h yesterday and wired the ACS712 output to the A10 pin of the Mega.
Following examples in the web the ACS module is

Re: Inside Temperature Question
I purchased the items on your list(Stellar Journey) from ali express, they started arriving last thursday, I had some bme280's sitting around so I had used those for the outside sensor. The bmp180

Re: monitoring Dc help
Looking at that again it won't work, those are just conversion functions so...
I've expanded the range of allowed Analog ports into the Config.h settings and added the following code to an Misc.ino

Re: monitoring Dc help
Just wire in the device per the examples on the internet. The ACS712 seems to have isolation so just wire it right into an unused Mega2560 analog input.
The following code should do the trick (add to

Re: BME280 Sensor
I think what you would want to do is perhaps use relay 7 to press the garage door opener button.
#define ROR_OPEN_CLOSE_MOMENTARY 7 // OFF, n. Where n=1..14 (Relay#) A momentary switch

Re: Inside Temperature Question
Yes, that's the kind of thing those functions are for.
The BMP180 is temperature and pressure only though so I guess you intend to use a BME280?

Inside Temperature Question
Since I don't use a warm room, I would still like to monitor the temp & humidity inside the observatory. Reason for this is to set the exhaust fan to kick in at certain temp or humidity range. Could I

Re: monitoring Dc help
Hi Howard,
What I meant when talking about measuring intensity it is more a feature measuring all the current drawn from the relays (I’m using 12 v dc), introducing a kind of ammeter.

I don't as a rule distribute that design. And at this point even I wouldn't build an OCS PCB again.
I feel the eBay relay boards are a better proposition both in terms of cost and for easy

Re: monitoring Dc help
Thank you Howard,
I would say nearly all the features in OCS interest me. LOL
I was wondering if my solar panels 150 Watts X 2 and 2 batteries 100AH could supply OCS and all the equipments that's why

I really don't understand the question; but I don't have anything to do with that sourceforge project nor any interest in it.

Re: monitoring Dc help
Yes the OCS PCB Analog inputs A0 to A5 can handle measuring 12V DC directly. The inputs are resistor divided and diode clamped for protection.
Since the individual user must decide on a sensor to

Hi Howard,
I'm running the 2.0g and it works fine !
I wired the heater on a relay following you advice and switch it on only in extreme conditions. The rest of the time i switched it off since the box
