Hello, I got one of the Baspi 'hats' and cannot get the universal input to read a resistor. I have the jumpers set to RES and the web interface channel type set to resistance and it wont register a resistor.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

RESISTANCE SENSE! (Updated Solution for BasPi 'Hats' Users)

**Hello again, fellow Universal Devices enthusiasts!**

I'm back with an update on the issue I reported earlier regarding getting the Universal Input to read resistors on my BasPi 'hat'. After a bit of troubleshooting and collaboration with the fantastic folks at Contemporary Controls, we were able to resolve the problem.

**The Fix:**

As it turns out, there was a software error in the original Raspberry Pi image that prevented the Universal Input from reading resistances correctly. Contemporary Controls kindly updated my image to the latest version, which resolved the issue. **Make sure you're running the most up-to-date software on your BasPi 'hat' found here https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wsxz0o2sf9462unpefyvn/BASpi-1.0.35.0-Image.zip?rlkey=uvi7tj4mbtirmom7dv4qzy1ah&e=2&st=ejd2oe80&dl=0

**Additional Tip:**

While we were at it, I'd like to emphasize the importance of using a robust power supply for your BasPi 'hat'. I've found that a 3A (or higher) power supply ensures stable and reliable operation. Trust me, you don't want any unexpected shutdowns or glitches!

**RESISTANCE READING WORKS NOW!**

If you were experiencing issues reading resistors on your Universal Input, please update to the latest software image and see if that resolves the problem for you.

Thanks again to Contemporary Controls for their assistance in resolving this issue. I hope this post helps fellow users who might have encountered similar problems.
