Connects to local Arduino and monitors the selected pin for changes. Connects to local Arduino and monitors the selected pin for changes.
You can select either Digital or Analogue input. Outputs the value read as **msg.payload** and the pin number as **msg.topic**. You can select either **Digital** or **Analogue** input type.
Outputs the value read as **msg.payload** and the pin number as **msg.topic**.
It only outputs on a change of value - fine for digital inputs, but you can get a lot of data from analogue pins which you must then handle. It only outputs on a change of value - fine for digital inputs, but you can get a lot of data from analogue pins which you must then handle.
You can set the sample rate in ms from 20 to 65535. You can set the sample rate from `20` to `65535` mS.
###Output Node ### Output Node
Connects to local Arduino and writes to the selected pin. Connects to local Arduino and writes to the selected pin.
You can select Digital, Analogue (PWM) or Servo type outputs. Expects a numeric value in **msg.payload**. The pin number is set in the properties panel. You can select
###Example - **Digital** - accepts 0, 1, true, false, on, off
- **Analogue** (PWM) - accepts Integer 0 to 255
- **Servo** - accepts Integer 0 - 180
Expects a numeric value in **msg.payload**. The pin number is set in the properties panel.
*Note* - some servos will not travel a full 180 degree range so may only accept 30 - 150 degrees for example.
Please use the `range` node to scale the input appropriately.
