| + | ====Important Unit Addressing Note:==== | ||
| + | The input and output numbering on some of the cards is reversed from what is shown on the weeder card. This is a “historical” frustration as it was already like that after people were using it and so I couldn’t fix it without breaking the current installs. So for the moment this stays with us. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you have an input connected to input A of card B and therefore you have created a Unit with the address of B1 but it is not getting changes from the card and instead you see in the log a “Received On for address B8” then you know it is doing this and you need to change the address of your B1 Unit to B8 and what you thought should be the B8 unit to B1 and so forth. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I will figure out a way to fix that for both existing installs and new users when I get to rebuilding this plugin to the newer plugin API in the future. | ||

| * For the single ended reading the voltage input and the common ground pin on the card must be the same circuit or you'll read garbage. | * For the single ended reading the voltage input and the common ground pin on the card must be the same circuit or you'll read garbage. | ||
| * Unused inputs should either be tied to the common ground pin or the inputs be given a large significant change value in XTension otherwise they will generate a new value on every read as untied inputs just return random numbers. Perhaps good for a random number seed? | * Unused inputs should either be tied to the common ground pin or the inputs be given a large significant change value in XTension otherwise they will generate a new value on every read as untied inputs just return random numbers.
