Thanks

Hello velgsh819,

Yes the VMA401 can be used with Raspberry PI.

For python code’s you can try these tutorials:

Hi…It’s critical to take note of that RPi.GPIO will set the GPIO port to be an information when it’s done (it sets to an information any port which the content set to a yield, and you need to set it to a yield before you can do anything with it, regardless of whether it previously was). As GPIO16 quits being a yield, control through the part interface will not work anymore.
