Dual Momentary Sink-to-Ground for Screen Control

Edited

This guide explains how to control a motorized screen using two momentary sink-to-ground triggers: Up and Down.


1. Hardware

Wire the screen control inputs to the GPIO Card
(Follow the wiring reference for correct sink-to-ground wiring.)

Each screen direction, Up and Down, will connect to its own GPIO Output.


2. Software

Step 1 - Add required modules

Add the following blocks to your project:

  • Screen Radio Button (configured with 2 nodes: Up and Down)

  • GPIO Output Card

Step 2 - Connect logic paths

  • Connect the Up node from the Screen Radio Button to the GPIO Output channel for Screen Up.

  • Connect the Down node to the GPIO Output channel for Screen Down.

Step 3 - Assign GPIO channels

Open the GPIO Output Card and assign each output to the correct pins that connect to the screen controller.


3. Test

Verify screen movement:

  • Press Up → screen raises

  • Press Down → screen lowers

The screen should respond immediately to each momentary press.
