Introduction The 10-Position DIP switch on the PixController LE board is used to setup how the board controls the attached cameras, functions in day only, night only, 24 hour mode, and many more features. Listed below are instructions on how to setup the DIP switch feature on the LE board. |
Default Setting
All switches Down, of Off: 10 Sec/No LANC PIR Delay, 24 hour mode of
operation, LANC Camera, Continuous movement movie setting, Green PIR LED
off
PIR Delay Setting
Switches 1 and 2 control the delay between PIR events. This setting is
used so you can limit or not limit the number of photos taken when a
motion event triggers your board. For example when you set your system up
on a trail you will want the 10 second delay setting so you can capture as
many photos as possible, but when setup over a feeder you want to use the
10 minute PIR delay so you limit the number of photos of one animal.
