You can configure each pin to be either + input or output. This setting is stored in an eprom so that a pin cannot + become accidently output while you expected an input. + Set the direction with: + clewarecontrol -ad x where x is a hex value representing a 1 + or 0 selecting the direction + After that you can set the output pins to 1 or 0 with: + clewarecontrol -am x where is a hex value + +- Luminus + This is in fact an AD converter with integrated hardware which measures the + amount of light. It has 1 chnanel, so you don't need to select it (like the + generic ADC). Reading values (in version 2.5) can be perfomed like his: + clewarecontrol -ra 0 + This gives a value between 0 and 5. I (developer of this Linux program) + need to buy a lux meter to scale this correctly. + + +- USB-cutter + This is a device which is at its heart a switch like the other switches. + To use it, you need to start it: + clewarecontrol -ag + then, you can toggle the USB status like this: + clewarecontrol -as 0 1 this will "cut" the USB device (switching + it off) + clewarecontrol -as 0 0 this will enable the USB device again(!) + indeed, the logic is inverted. + + +-mintrig / -maxtrig +------------------- +Run the program with -c 0 so that it keeps running forever (unless you want to +have it monitor the value for a shorter time). +Also start it with -F so that it runs in the background. +Then set the -mintrig or -maxtrig switches. +As the last parameter, set the sensor to monitor: -rh (humidity), -rt +(temperature), etc. +For example: + clewarecontrol -c 0 -maxtrig 0.5 ./myscript.sh -ra 0 +If the ADC tells us that the voltage is over 0.5 volts, then "myscript.sh" is +invoked.

Values retrieved are invalid +A1. Occasionally the values retrieved are invalid. E.g. a temperature of 170 + degrees and such.
