  • Page 20: Trigger Choices Explained

    MedeaWiz® Sprite® Trigger Choices Explained Trigger Low requires a transition from a positive voltage down to ground. Since the Sprite has an internal resistor holding the input at positive 3.3 Volts, you only need to provide a ground to trigger. For example if you are using a push button wired from the input terminal 2 to ground terminal 4 as shown on the following page, pressing the button applies the ground to the input causing the transition and a valid trigger event.

  • Page 21: External Control - Wiring A Pushbutton To The I/O Port

    MedeaWiz® Sprite® External Control – Wiring a Pushbutton to the I/O Port Using a pushbutton or other dry contacts The Control Mode should be set to Trigger Low No Interrupt or Trigger Low with Interrupt. The screw terminal adaptor shown above on the right is included with the Sprite®. Note that the numbers near the screws match to the numbers on the plug at the left, which is used in examples later in this manual.

  • Page 22: External Control - Wiring For Serial Communications To The I/O Port

    MedeaWiz® Sprite® External Control - Wiring for Serial Communications to the I/O Port The Sprite® can be controlled by a Show Control or micro controller like a Basic Stamp, PIC, Atmel, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Prop-1 or etc. using serial communications at 3.3V or 5V levels.

  • Page 23: Plc Output Interfacing

    MedeaWiz® Sprite® PLC Output Interfacing The Sprite® can be controlled from a Programmable Logic Controller using “dry contacts” like a push button, or voltage output. The sinking output is the preferred method if dry contacts are not available. The Sprite® has an internal 10K pullup so the Sourcing output requires a low resistance from Output to Common to pull the Sprite’s internal voltage down to a “LOW”.

  • Page 24: Motion Sensor Wiring

    MedeaWiz® Sprite® Motion Sensor Wiring There are many possibilities to add a motion sensor to the Sprite®. Small PIR motion sensors are available that use 5 Volt power and have a TTL voltage output. These can be powered directly from the Sprite’s I/O port. Set the Sprite’s Control Mode to Trigger High No Interrupt or Trigger High Delayed.

  • Page 25: Schematic Of I/O On The Sprite Circuit Board

    MedeaWiz® Sprite® Schematic of I/O on the Sprite circuit board The Sprite is designed to work with 3 to 5 Volt TTL level serial data. Do not allow negative voltage to be applied to the inputs. A negative voltage applied at the input / output will damage the Sprite and void the warranty.
