Master Controller Generator ON/ OFF Detection via Extra Port

[NEAL SINGH]

Master Controller Generator ON /OFF Detection

 

Using the Extra Port - PIN4 on P16 pulled to ground changes the state of the Generator

 

 

This gets reported on the ATG heartbeart Future field – which will be later renamed to EVENTS (0x80)

The most significant bit is the Generator Mode.

If the Pin4 is High = Generator OFF (MSB = 0)

If Pin4 is pulled to ground = Generator ON (MSB=1)
