- Asus Tinkerboard has been reported to work with RPICT units. Note we wont be able to provide support for the Tinkerboard.
Recommended sensors
- DS18B20
The RPI_T8 has 8 ports readily available for connection with a DS18B20. Note that more than 8 probes can be used by connecting several probe to a single port.
Stacking Information
The RPI_T8 can be used on its own or stacked on top of RPICT7V1 RPICT4V3 or RPICT8 Version 3 (support for version 5 is still to be designed).
The RPI_T8 must be slave number 1. i.e. First jumper set as slave. Microcontroller must be removed from the board to operate as slave.
RPI_T8 must be the top unit in any stack. This is due to the screw terminal which won't be accessible if not at the top.
General stacking information is described in the RPICT stacking page.

Limitations. The default sketch normally allows up to 28 Current/Voltage pairs to be executed. This lowered to 16 when using the RPI_T8 in the stack.
Software Configuration
As Master
Coming soon...
As Slave
The documentation for serial configuration can be found on this page.
Over Serial Configuration - Sketch 3.0
To enable temperature just add a single channel as temperature. All detected probe will be sent on output one after the other.
The board can be configured with the online configurator.

Slave Sketch
In order to use the RPI_T8 as slave the master board must be flashed with the sketch below with temperature support enabled. To enable Temperature support uncomment line 10 in the sketch. Remove the two slashes in the following line.
//#define TEMPERATURE_SUPPORT
