Simple usage in content

In this tutorial We will use M5 stack fire as device and a Single relay unit as sensor.

  • This Unit uses the B(black)port in M5 stack fire so you have to attach the sensor with a Grove Cable into your device. Then connect your sensor into the screen where you wish to use it.

  • In Wallboard Sensor Designer, you have to make the sensor configuration.

  • When you open it you have to login into your editor account you use then make a fast connection to your sensor.

  • If you are connected, you have to choose port B, then relay.
