Adding a second DO Module to Revolution Pi: Output Addressing

Hi everyone,

I'm using a Revolution Pi with a Digital Input/Output (DIO) module, but I need more outputs. I've been reading the documentation on connecting modules (https://revolutionpi.com/en/revpi-connect) and have a question about adding another output module. :ugeek:

Here's my scenario:

Currently, I'm using the first DIO module, and the outputs are accessible through O_1 to O_14 (assuming standard numbering).
I want to add a DO module to expand my output capacity.
My question is: Will the new module's outputs be automatically assigned consecutive numbers (O_15 to O_30), or do I need to configure something special in the software (like PiCtory)?

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated! :D

Thanks :? ,
Joe

Hello Joe,
you can add the module as follows:
Don't forget to run the following afterwards:
  • File → Save as start config
  • Tools → Reset driver
The variable names on my system unfortunately don't look so simple, i.e. "I_1_i03".
New DIO Module Variable naming
New DIO Module Variable naming
You can change them in the value editor.
