Relay Hat Question - I2C

[dan]

Glad it's working.

In case you haven't found it yet, you can increase the number of station to 16 by going to Options > Station handling > Extension boards and change from 0 to 1.

Each "Extension board" increases the number of stations by 8.

Update:

The cli_control plugin has been updated.
It no longer requires restarting SIP for the commands to work.

Also, some code has been added to handle changes in the number of stations. If you change from 8 stations to 16 or more it will adjust automatically. Same goes for reducing the number of stations.

You should be able to install the updated version of the plugin over the older version. That will preserve any commands you have saved in the older version.

Hello Dan -

Were you ever able to create a working plugin for the 4-channel replay HAT discussed in the thread? I'm just beginning to learn the Pi and would really like to get your software working with this HAT:

Thanks!
