Import data from external board

Hi, I am interested in using this board to connect to a raspberry pi as part of a remote heating controller.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8-Channel-Tem … 2490369384?

I was hoping to use rex controls software to process temperature data received from this board.

Maybe this is not possible, my initial attempts to research into attempting to receive data from this board to import into a rex controls program seems difficult or i am missing to point.

I have next to no programming knowledge but come from a process control background.

Could anyone offer any advice? It would be much appreciated.

Re: Import data from external board

Dear toogsman,
this board gets connected via USB cable and appears as a serial device (probably \dev\ttyUSB0). Therefore it is a generic serial device which you need to exchange data with. Please see example 0501-01 in our GitHub repository of example projects: https://github.com/rexcontrols/REXexamp … master.zip

Hope this helps, let me know.

Kind regards,
Jaroslav
