Support Request: Custom Output 52pi EP-0099 4-Channel Relay Hat #1251

Open ttran0789 opened 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Is there a way to modify the on_off_grove_multichannel_relay.py to allow for the 52pi EP-0099 to work? In line 324 of the python file mentioned: self.bus.write_byte_data(self.address, 0x10, new_state)

This board has address 0x10 for me, and relays are numbered 1/2/3/4 to be used for the registers. For example it would work if I do: self.bus.write_byte_data(0x10, 2, new_state) it could turn it on/off.

Describe the solution you'd like If you could help give some tips on how to approach this it would be greatly appreciated.

Describe alternatives you've considered I tried running the on/off script as a shell file and it still didn't work.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

I'm not familiar with the device you mentioned. Is there any literature on it? I would recommend reading the documentation, which would tell you how to communicate with it. You can copy and modify a current Output to work for a new one. This is how most new models are made: find the most similar Output and copy and modify it to work.
