To program GPIO sensors with the Cortex Onboard App
Name and configure up to 5 general purpose sensors, 2 x input/output, 3 x input.
1. Download the Cortex Onboard App
Free download from the iOS or Google Play stores
2. Turn Cortex Cortex Hub and device ON
Switch the vessels batteries ON to power the Cortex Hub
3. Connect the device to the Cortex Hub via WiFi
See Connecting to an Cortex Hub section
4. Open the app and program as follows;
> Select the Main Menu icon ( ) to open the Settings Menu.
> Device Settings...
> Sensors...
> GPIO...
> Sensor / control name
> Sensor / control type (select from list)
> Default input high
> Pullup active (select Enabled or Disabled)
> Active when high (select Yes for Normally Closed, or select No for Normally
Open)
An external Pullup voltage connection is recommended when connecting GPIO
sensors to the Cortex Hub.
When a sensor does not provide more than 2V, the Pullup provides an appropriate
high level reference for the Cortex Hub’s input.
