Has anyone thought about adding a float switch status to an ADIN card?
My idea here is if I could grab the status of the float switch in a Clarisea Roller on one of the Digital Input I could setup an unused dosing pump (virtual pump - doesn't physically exist). Then set the dosing pump to run if the input is high (or low).
This could effectively measure the amount of mat that the roller has used and has left (once you calibrate an appropriate dosing rate and container size).
Would it work? Or would it be better trying to grab the voltage from the motor cable? Either will be the same amount of on time.
