How to use IR emitter on GPIO of K868AG ??

Posted by: vincen - 05-01-2022, 01:13 PM - Forum: KC868-AG / AG Pro / AG8 / Z1 - Replies (6)

Hi

I'm using a K868-AG without problems to control a TV using the internal IR emitter LEDs. I want to use the GPIO avalaible on the board to wire additional IR emitters to control few other devices.
I have been careful of IR LED polarity. I have wired it between GPIO (positive side) and GND (negative side). I have also tried to add 200ohm resistor but same, it doesn't control device ! I'm sure of my ESP code as it works fine if I change code to use GPIO wired at internal LEDs ! I have tried GPIO14 with resistor and GPIO21 without but same result, not working Sad

Any ideas what's wrong ?

Thanks,

Vincèn

KC868-H32 +button switch module V4.43?

Posted by: Mawram - 04-30-2022, 01:32 PM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (5)

	Hi I have KC868-H32 (2020) +button switch module for KC868-Hx .All worked perfect until i try use MQTT for HA ? I update firmvare to 4.43 by USB-RS232. and now switch module doesnt work- all lights What can i do now? what the last firmware to H32? .V4.43 works only with H3xB ? Where i can find last firmware for H32 thanks for help
