GPIO Out (Core 110f, 110c)

The General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) Controller is used to integrate Q-SYS with custom or third-party controls. Using the GPIO Output you can control external hardware. With the GPIO Input, you can control certain aspects of Q-SYS using external hardware.

The GPIO pins in Q-SYS Designer are representative of the pins on the color-coded (black) Euro-style connector on the back panel of the Core. The numbers stamped on the rear panel relate to the GPIO pins in Q-SYS Designer. Notice that the first and last pins on the top and bottom rows are not numbered: they are not GPIO pins.

Type

Choices are:

  • Digital Output (TTL 3.3V) – 3.3VDC is supplied to the GPIO Output pin when the Output button is On.
  • Open Collector (24V, 200mA Max), with Pullup to 3.3V
  • Raw – The Raw mode is for advanced capabilities. If there is something you cannot do in the standard choices, contact QSC Support for detailed information. Note that when you select Raw as the direction, there are two instances of that pin on the GPIO component; one input, and one output.

Control Pins

The only Control Pin available under "Control Pins" in the Properties is Pullup Enable when you select Raw as the Type.
