The setting of the TM1 potentiometer determines the length of the pulse (30-240 seconds). When the pulse ends the Arduino Reset output is taken to ground (and the PulseHigh output goes to VDD) for approximately 200ms.

The ADS111\/5 are extremely easy to configure and design into a wide variety of applications, and allow precise measurements to be obtained with very little effort. Both experienced and novice users of data converters find designing with the ADS1115 to be intuitive and problem-free. The ADS111\/5 consists of a ΔΣ analog-to-digital (A\/D) core with adjustable gain, an internal voltage reference, a clock oscillator, and an I2C interface. An additional feature available on the ADS1115 is a programmable digital comparator that provides an alert on a dedicated pin. All of these features are intended to reduce required external circuitry and improve performance. The ADS1115 functional block diagram is shown above. The ADS1115 A\/D core measures a differential signal, VIN, that is the difference of AINP and AINN. A MUX is available on the ADS1115. This architecture results in a very strong attenuation in any common-mode signals. The converter core consists of a differential, switched-capacitor ΔΣ modulator followed by a digital filter. Input signals are compared to the internal voltage reference. The digital filter receives a high-speed bitstream from the modulator and outputs a code proportional to the input voltage. The ADS1115 has two available conversion modes: single-shot mode and continuous conversion mode. In single-shot mode, the ADC performs one conversion of the input signal upon request and stores the value to an internal result register. The device then enters a low-power shutdown mode. This mode is intended to provide significant power savings in systems that only require periodic conversions or when there are long idle periods between conversions. In continuous conversion mode, the ADC automatically begins a conversion of the input signal as soon as the previous conversion is completed. The rate of continuous conversion is equal to the programmed data rate. Data can be read at any time and always reflect the most recent completed conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePinOut\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5903 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_Grove4ChADCBoardGrove.png?16608421722137696282\" alt=\"Grove4ChADCBoardGrove\" width=\"517\" height=\"311\"\u003e \u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5904 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_Grove4ChADCBoardJP.png?16150076510053785548\" alt=\"Grove4ChADCBoardJP\" width=\"517\" height=\"311\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2017-10-19T21:18:12-07:00","created_at":"2017-10-19T21:18:14-07:00","vendor":"vendor-unknown","type":"Shop All,Grove,Sensors,Break Out Boards,Raspberry Pi,Arduino,ESP8266,I2C","tags":[],"price":1995,"price_min":1995,"price_max":1995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":2495,"compare_at_price_min":2495,"compare_at_price_max":2495,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":3340540641310,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"0058-GRV4CADC-DSBT","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Grove -

Connects to a Grove I2C connector and supplies 4 channels of Grove Analog plugs for your projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn what Grove Connecters \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.switchdoc.com\/2016\/02\/tutorial-intro-to-grove-connectors-for-arduinoraspberry-pi-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eare here in our tutorial.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5915\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_Screen-Shot-2016-05-22-at-12.55.15-PM-copy.png?2705313384236537384\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-05-22 at 12.55.15 PM copy\" width=\"620\" height=\"148\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Missing Board for the Raspberry Pi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Channels with Grove Connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrove I2C connector provided\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeaders provided for non Grove usage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports both 3.3V and 5V I2C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Source Drivers Provided for Raspberry Pi\/Arduino\/ESP8266\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-5907 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_IMG_8440-cropped-300x193.jpg?2641221087179959758\" alt=\"IMG_8440 cropped\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.switchdoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Grove4ChADC_CurrentSpecification.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCurrent Specification for Grove4Ch16BitADC Board\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaspberry Pi Pure Python Software is at: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/switchdoclabs\/SDL_Pi_Grove4Ch16BitADC\"\u003ehttps:\/\/github.com\/switchdoclabs\/SDL_Pi_Grove4Ch16BitADC\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArduino and ESP8266 Software is at: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/switchdoclabs\/SDL_Arduino_Grove4Ch16BitADC\"\u003ehttps:\/\/github.com\/switchdoclabs\/SDL_Arduino_Grove4Ch16BitADC\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheory of Operation \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5908 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_Screen-Shot-2016-05-11-at-2.19.50-PM-1024x363.png?11699735319315068160\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-05-11 at 2.19.50 PM\" width=\"930\" height=\"330\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ADS1115 is a very small, low-power, 16-bit, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADS111\/5 are extremely easy to configure and design into a wide variety of applications, and allow precise measurements to be obtained with very little effort. Both experienced and novice users of data converters find designing with the ADS1115 to be intuitive and problem-free. The ADS111\/5 consists of a ΔΣ analog-to-digital (A\/D) core with adjustable gain, an internal voltage reference, a clock oscillator, and an I2C interface. An additional feature available on the ADS1115 is a programmable digital comparator that provides an alert on a dedicated pin. All of these features are intended to reduce required external circuitry and improve performance. The ADS1115 functional block diagram is shown above. The ADS1115 A\/D core measures a differential signal, VIN, that is the difference of AINP and AINN. A MUX is available on the ADS1115. This architecture results in a very strong attenuation in any common-mode signals. The converter core consists of a differential, switched-capacitor ΔΣ modulator followed by a digital filter. Input signals are compared to the internal voltage reference. The digital filter receives a high-speed bitstream from the modulator and outputs a code proportional to the input voltage. The ADS1115 has two available conversion modes: single-shot mode and continuous conversion mode. In single-shot mode, the ADC performs one conversion of the input signal upon request and stores the value to an internal result register. The device then enters a low-power shutdown mode. This mode is intended to provide significant power savings in systems that only require periodic conversions or when there are long idle periods between conversions. In continuous conversion mode, the ADC automatically begins a conversion of the input signal as soon as the previous conversion is completed. The rate of continuous conversion is equal to the programmed data rate. Data can be read at any time and always reflect the most recent completed conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePinOut\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5903 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_Grove4ChADCBoardGrove.png?16608421722137696282\" alt=\"Grove4ChADCBoardGrove\" width=\"517\" height=\"311\"\u003e \u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5904 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_Grove4ChADCBoardJP.png?16150076510053785548\" alt=\"Grove4ChADCBoardJP\" width=\"517\" height=\"311\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"});window.BOLD.common.Shopify.saveVariant(3340540641310, { variant: {"id":3340540641310,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"0058-GRV4CADC-DSBT","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Grove - 4 Channel 16 Bit Analog to Digital Converter","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1995,"weight":6,"compare_at_price":2495,"inventory_quantity":157,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}, inventory_quantity: 157, product_id: 229332680734, product_handle: "grove-4-channel-16-bit-analog-to-digital-converter", price: 1995, variant_title: "Default Title", group_id: '', csp_metafield: {}});window.BOLD.common.Shopify.saveProduct("grove-128x64-i2c-oled-board-for-arduino-and-raspberry-pi", 229322031134, {"id":229322031134,"title":"Grove 128x64 I2C OLED Board for Arduino and Raspberry Pi","handle":"grove-128x64-i2c-oled-board-for-arduino-and-raspberry-pi","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a very readable Grove 4 Pin Connector I2C OLED module.

The SCL\/SDA controlling fans out to fourdownstream channels. Any individual channel or combination of channels can be selected via I2C. Four interrupt inputs (INT3–INT0), one for each of the downstream pairs, are provided. One interrupt (INT) output acts as an AND of the four interrupt inputs. When you receive an interrupt, you read the interrupt register on the device to find out what channel interrupted you. An active-low reset (RESET) input allows the TCA9545A to recover from a situation in which one of the downstream I2C buses is stuck in a low state. Pulling RESETlow resets the I2C state machine and causes all the channels to be deselected, as does the internal power-on reset function. The TCA9545A allows the use of different bus voltages on each pair, so that 1.8-V, 2.5-V, or 3.3-V parts can communicate with 5-V parts, without any additional protection. External pull-up resistors pull the bus up to the desired voltage level for each channel.

We are always running into conflicts with addressing on the I2C device.

The SCL\/SDA controlling fans out to fourdownstream channels. Any individual channel or combination of channels can be selected via I2C. Four interrupt inputs (INT3–INT0), one for each of the downstream pairs, are provided. One interrupt (INT) output acts as an AND of the four interrupt inputs. When you receive an interrupt, you read the interrupt register on the device to find out what channel interrupted you. An active-low reset (RESET) input allows the TCA9545A to recover from a situation in which one of the downstream I2C buses is stuck in a low state. Pulling RESETlow resets the I2C state machine and causes all the channels to be deselected, as does the internal power-on reset function. The TCA9545A allows the use of different bus voltages on each pair, so that 1.8-V, 2.5-V, or 3.3-V parts can communicate with 5-V parts, without any additional protection. External pull-up resistors pull the bus up to the desired voltage level for each channel.

We started analyzing the signals coming into the antenna and figuring out what was going on. We had the digital data formats from our manufacturing partners but what it looks like coming in over radio waves was quite another challenge. We first decoded the simpler Indoor Temperature \/ Humidity Sensor (making sure we used the proper CRC checksum to guarantee correct reception - 433MHz is noisy and there are lot of other things on the frequency band such as your car key, garage door openers, etc., etc.). We used as a starting step a variety of tools on our Raspberry Pi (RF_Hacker and rtl_433 for two) and started to match the signals coming from the SDR to the digital bits. The coding uses something called Manchester Encoding which makes it difficult to read the signal data with just the eye. We wrote software to decode it and after a lot of effort, we were reading the Indoor Sensor and the WeatherRack2 correctly from the Raspberry Pi using our Software Defined Radio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-id=\"31405463\" data-caption=\"Receiving a Radio Packet with the Logic Analyzer in the SwitchDoc Lab\" data-alt-text=\"\" class=\"template asset\" contenteditable=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/031\/405\/463\/303cb8583310aaba7c93f8d196fb1a93_original.png?ixlib=rb-2.1.0\u0026amp;w=680\u0026amp;fit=max\u0026amp;v=1605315595\u0026amp;auto=format\u0026amp;frame=1\u0026amp;lossless=true\u0026amp;s=394a8194dc1aa14454cb52e0d19d15a1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/031\/405\/463\/303cb8583310aaba7c93f8d196fb1a93_original.png?ixlib=rb-2.1.0\u0026amp;w=680\u0026amp;fit=max\u0026amp;v=1605315595\u0026amp;auto=format\u0026amp;frame=1\u0026amp;lossless=true\u0026amp;s=394a8194dc1aa14454cb52e0d19d15a1\" class=\"fit lazyloaded\" alt=\"\" width=\"442\" height=\"176\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption class=\"px2\"\u003eReceiving a Radio Packet with the Logic Analyzer in the SwitchDoc Lab\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-italic\"\u003eWe\u003c\/span\u003e had to \u003cspan class=\"text-italic\"\u003elook at the timing down on the order of about 200 usec.

We started analyzing the signals coming into the antenna and figuring out what was going on. We had the digital data formats from our manufacturing partners but what it looks like coming in over radio waves was quite another challenge. We first decoded the simpler Indoor Temperature \/ Humidity Sensor (making sure we used the proper CRC checksum to guarantee correct reception - 433MHz is noisy and there are lot of other things on the frequency band such as your car key, garage door openers, etc., etc.). We used as a starting step a variety of tools on our Raspberry Pi (RF_Hacker and rtl_433 for two) and started to match the signals coming from the SDR to the digital bits. The coding uses something called Manchester Encoding which makes it difficult to read the signal data with just the eye. We wrote software to decode it and after a lot of effort, we were reading the Indoor Sensor and the WeatherRack2 correctly from the Raspberry Pi using our Software Defined Radio.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-id=\"31405463\" data-caption=\"Receiving a Radio Packet with the Logic Analyzer in the SwitchDoc Lab\" data-alt-text=\"\" class=\"template asset\" contenteditable=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/031\/405\/463\/303cb8583310aaba7c93f8d196fb1a93_original.png?ixlib=rb-2.1.0\u0026amp;w=680\u0026amp;fit=max\u0026amp;v=1605315595\u0026amp;auto=format\u0026amp;frame=1\u0026amp;lossless=true\u0026amp;s=394a8194dc1aa14454cb52e0d19d15a1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/031\/405\/463\/303cb8583310aaba7c93f8d196fb1a93_original.png?ixlib=rb-2.1.0\u0026amp;w=680\u0026amp;fit=max\u0026amp;v=1605315595\u0026amp;auto=format\u0026amp;frame=1\u0026amp;lossless=true\u0026amp;s=394a8194dc1aa14454cb52e0d19d15a1\" class=\"fit lazyloaded\" alt=\"\" width=\"442\" height=\"176\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption class=\"px2\"\u003eReceiving a Radio Packet with the Logic Analyzer in the SwitchDoc Lab\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-italic\"\u003eWe\u003c\/span\u003e had to \u003cspan class=\"text-italic\"\u003elook at the timing down on the order of about 200 usec.

If it is above 6V, you need to add in a 10W 5.6V Zener diode across the solar panels to protect your SunControl board and system. Connect the \"+\" end of the diode to the \"+\" side of the solar panel (or the line from the solar panel to the SunControl Board) and the \"-\" side to the negative (\"-\") side of the panel.

If it is above 6V, you need to add in a 10W 5.6V Zener diode across the solar panels to protect your SunControl board and system. Connect the \"+\" end of the diode to the \"+\" side of the solar panel (or the line from the solar panel to the SunControl Board) and the \"-\" side to the negative (\"-\") side of the panel. This will get hot, so let it hang free in the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, you can’t just put 10 1W 5.6V Zener diodes in parallel. They aren’t identical and the one that is slightly lower will take all the current. You can, however, stack them in series to acquire the appropriate voltage and power dissipation.

The library is easy to use and hides the complexity of the interface to the sensors. The C++ class has two Interrupt Service Routines (ISR), one each for the anemometer and the rain bucket. The wind vane is connected to an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) input pin on the Arduino. Note that the C++ class is designed to be a singleton, in other words, you only can interface one sensor package without some additional work (mostly involving Interrupts). The article in \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry-pi-geek.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eRaspberry Pi Geek magazine\u003c\/a\u003e discusses this in detail. There are two main modes for the class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSDL_MODE_SAMPLE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSDL_MODE_SAMPLE mode means return immediately after asking for the wind speed. The wind speed is averaged at sampleTime or since you last asked, whichever is longer. If the sample time has not passed since the last call, the class returns the last calculated wind speed. That means that you will never see changes faster than the specified sample time. This allows you to not wait for the wind speed, you can just grab the last valid reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSDL_MODE_DELAY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSDL_MODE_DELAY mode means to wait for the set sample time to expire and return the average wind speed at the expiration. You would use this if you want to make sure you have the latest value and your program architecture allows you to pause for the sample time before continuing. Which mode you use depends on the specific software architecture of your Arduino application. Typically, I use SDL_MODE_SAMPLE because I can tolerate not having a current value of wind speed.

The library is easy to use and hides the complexity of the interface to the sensors. The C++ class has two Interrupt Service Routines (ISR), one each for the anemometer and the rain bucket. The wind vane is connected to an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) input pin on the Arduino. Note that the C++ class is designed to be a singleton, in other words, you only can interface one sensor package without some additional work (mostly involving Interrupts). The article in \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry-pi-geek.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eRaspberry Pi Geek magazine\u003c\/a\u003e discusses this in detail. There are two main modes for the class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSDL_MODE_SAMPLE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSDL_MODE_SAMPLE mode means return immediately after asking for the wind speed. The wind speed is averaged at sampleTime or since you last asked, whichever is longer. If the sample time has not passed since the last call, the class returns the last calculated wind speed. That means that you will never see changes faster than the specified sample time. This allows you to not wait for the wind speed, you can just grab the last valid reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSDL_MODE_DELAY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSDL_MODE_DELAY mode means to wait for the set sample time to expire and return the average wind speed at the expiration. You would use this if you want to make sure you have the latest value and your program architecture allows you to pause for the sample time before continuing. Which mode you use depends on the specific software architecture of your Arduino application. Typically, I use SDL_MODE_SAMPLE because I can tolerate not having a current value of wind speed.

The Pi uses an Internet service called NTP to set the clock on power up if the Internet is available.

A Raspberry Pi being sent up in a balloon or a Pi working in the remote caribbean, like Project Curacao. The Raspberry Pi keeps pretty good time, but only if it is connected to the Internet. The Pi uses an Internet service called NTP to set the clock on power up if the Internet is available. It then calls the NTP servers (some are actually hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and linked to their atomic clocks).

It has 8 Grove Digital Connectors and 3 Grove I2C connectors (which form an I2C Hub). We are always running out of GPIOs on the Raspberry Pi. We wanted a clean way of adding more GPIO ports (Digital Grove ports) and we decided this was the way to do it. 8 Digital Grove ports (and a bonus 2 extra Grove I2C) is the way to do it in style. This board connects to the I2C bus on the Raspberry Pi and adds 8 additional 3.3V GPIOs to the Pi. You can also make them 5V GPIO pins if you wish. Connects to a Grove I2C connector and supplies 4 channels of Grove Analog plugs for your projects.

It allows easy serial expansion of I\/O through a standard I2C interface. GPIO devices can provide additional control and monitoring when the microcontroller or chipset has insufficient I\/O ports, or in systems where serial communication and control from a remote location is advantageous. These devices can also act as a level shifter to connect a microcontroller running at one voltage level to a component running at a different voltage level. The core is operating as low as 1.2V while the I\/O banks can operate between 1.2V and 5.5V independent of the core voltage and each other. Each GPIO is programmable via 8-bit configuration registers. Data registers, direction registers, pull- up\/pull-down registers, interrupt mask registers and interrupt registers allow the system master to allow the system master to program and configure 8 GPIOs using a 2 wire standard 400kHz I C interface. \u003cstrong\u003ePLD (Programmable Logic Device)\u003c\/strong\u003e The SX1502 offers a unique fully programmable logic functions like a PLD to give more flexibility and reduce external logic gates used for standard applications. Pins IO4-IO7 are available for PLD use on the 8GPIO board. Since the whole truth table is fully programmable, the SX1502 can implement combinatory functions ranging from the basic AND\/OR gates to the most complicated ones with up to four 3-to1 PLDs or two 3-to-2 PLDs which can also be externally cascaded if needed. In all cases, any IO not configured for PLD functionality retains its GPIO functionality while I\/Os used by the PLD have their direction automatically set accordingly. Please note that while RegDir corresponding bits are ignored for PLD operation they may still be set to input to access unused PLD inputs as normal GPI (PLD truth table can define some inputs to have no effect on PLD output) and\/or generate interrupt based on any of the PLD inputs or outputs bits.

It has 8 Grove Digital Connectors and 3 Grove I2C connectors (which form an I2C Hub). We are always running out of GPIOs on the Raspberry Pi. We wanted a clean way of adding more GPIO ports (Digital Grove ports) and we decided this was the way to do it. 8 Digital Grove ports (and a bonus 2 extra Grove I2C) is the way to do it in style. This board connects to the I2C bus on the Raspberry Pi and adds 8 additional 3.3V GPIOs to the Pi. You can also make them 5V GPIO pins if you wish. Connects to a Grove I2C connector and supplies 4 channels of Grove Analog plugs for your projects.

It allows easy serial expansion of I\/O through a standard I2C interface. GPIO devices can provide additional control and monitoring when the microcontroller or chipset has insufficient I\/O ports, or in systems where serial communication and control from a remote location is advantageous. These devices can also act as a level shifter to connect a microcontroller running at one voltage level to a component running at a different voltage level. The core is operating as low as 1.2V while the I\/O banks can operate between 1.2V and 5.5V independent of the core voltage and each other. Each GPIO is programmable via 8-bit configuration registers. Data registers, direction registers, pull- up\/pull-down registers, interrupt mask registers and interrupt registers allow the system master to allow the system master to program and configure 8 GPIOs using a 2 wire standard 400kHz I C interface. \u003cstrong\u003ePLD (Programmable Logic Device)\u003c\/strong\u003e The SX1502 offers a unique fully programmable logic functions like a PLD to give more flexibility and reduce external logic gates used for standard applications. Pins IO4-IO7 are available for PLD use on the 8GPIO board. Since the whole truth table is fully programmable, the SX1502 can implement combinatory functions ranging from the basic AND\/OR gates to the most complicated ones with up to four 3-to1 PLDs or two 3-to-2 PLDs which can also be externally cascaded if needed. In all cases, any IO not configured for PLD functionality retains its GPIO functionality while I\/Os used by the PLD have their direction automatically set accordingly. Please note that while RegDir corresponding bits are ignored for PLD operation they may still be set to input to access unused PLD inputs as normal GPI (PLD truth table can define some inputs to have no effect on PLD output) and\/or generate interrupt based on any of the PLD inputs or outputs bits.

We have needed one of these for a long time. In previous projects, we were continually needing relays (mostly latching relays) to switch power on and off to computers and devices, to switch from solar to wind and a variety of other chores. What a pain! Now we have developed and designed a Quad Power Management board incorporating I2C controlled 4 Independent Solid State Relays each with LEDs to show what is going on with the board. Each solid state relay is able to switch 20V and 2.3A. You can switch DC signals and analog signals (with proper conditioning - you need to add a DC Offset for analog signals). This board is magic to us for building power systems. There are 4 Additional GPIOs provided on the board (thanks to the SX1502 as in the above board) that can be used as GPIOs, interrupts or a programmable logic gate as above. Software drivers for Arduino and Raspberry Pi Included! We are using this board extensively in our new SunRover semi-autonomous robot design. You will be seeing a series of articles on this robot in Raspberry Pi Geek magazine starting in the August 2015 issue. The robot uses a total of 10 Quad Power Management boards to stack\/unstack all the batteries and to switch the solar panels from one computer to another. And they are all controlled by an I2C bus!

SunRover is a semi-autonomous tracked robot that is being developed here in Washington state, but will eventually make it down to Curacao to join Project Curacao in the tropics.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"body readability responsive-media formatted-lists\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.switchdoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/af08cd9f1bf787ad09adea2b051af487_original.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"225\" width=\"300\" alt=\"af08cd9f1bf787ad09adea2b051af487_original\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_af08cd9f1bf787ad09adea2b051af487_original-300x225.jpg?3573161922563047108\" class=\"wp-image-2294 size-medium\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"body readability responsive-media formatted-lists\"\u003eTRex Tracks, Controller and Batteries[\/caption] SunRover has three computers. The first is the motor controller (TRex I2C controller made by Dagu) and connected to a Dagu set of robot TRex tracks. The other two computers are an Arduino Mega 2560 (the power management computer - also does weather sensing) and the brains of SunRover, a Raspberry Pi 2 Quad Core computer. The electronics will be packaged in a BUD enclosure as below. Note the Circuit Board Condo that we designed and 3D printed.

It takes 3 batteries to get up to about ~12V. The problem is that all of our Solar Powered Charging system is designed to charge 3.7V LiPo batteries. Our solution? Use two QPM boards to switch the batteries from a series to parallel connection and then charge the batteries from SunAirPlus. The QPM board even has two inputs per device. One with a protective diode and one without the diode. Perfect for our application. \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.switchdoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_0969.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"712\" width=\"930\" alt=\"IMG_0969\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_IMG_0969-1024x784.jpg?13760602946785384368\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2288\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSolar Panel Multiplexer\u003c\/h3\u003e\nSunRover has 6 3.5W\/6V solar panels. These will be on a \"wing\" across the top of SunRover. Each of these six solar panels can be switched by a Quad Power Management board and be connected in different ways to provide more power to the subsystem (Motors, Arduino or Raspberry Pi) depending on what needs it at the time and the Sun. We are using four QPM boards to accomplish this. SunRover Motors subsystem - up to 6 solar panels Raspberry Pi subsystem - up to 4 solar panels Arduino Power Management subsystem - up to 2 solar panels \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.switchdoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_0976-2.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"712\" width=\"930\" alt=\"IMG_0976 2\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_IMG_0976-2-1024x784.jpg?1693467713238327663\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2289\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRobot Compartment Heater\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOur third example application of the QPM board is a resistive compartment warmer. The winters are cold up here in the frozen north and LiPo batteries and electronics need to be kept warm to keep working. We are accomplishing this by using the QPM board to switch 10W\/20 Ohm resistors, one in each compartment. We have temperature sensors in each compartment that will give us the feedback we need to moderate the heat sent to the resistors. How do we control the heat coming off of each resistor? We pulse the QPM switches to only power the resistor for the amount we need. If we want 3.6W, we turn the QPM switch on 1\/2 of the time (7.2W\/2). We can make it generate just enough heat to keep the compartment at the right temperature. Very cool. Or hot in this case. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_243a3f78fcdb033c42f0b749b1c97f8b_original-2.jpg?16614707158960697788\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"521\" width=\"680\" alt=\"243a3f78fcdb033c42f0b749b1c97f8b_original-2\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_243a3f78fcdb033c42f0b749b1c97f8b_original-2.jpg?16614707158960697788\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2295\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-id=\"4093248\" class=\"template asset\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\nQPM - Battery Stacker \/ Unstacker Applicaton\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\"\u003eQuad Power Management Loaded Test\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\nTo test the current carrying capability of the QPM board, a 10 Ohm 10W resistor and measure the current through the resistor.

We have needed one of these for a long time. In previous projects, we were continually needing relays (mostly latching relays) to switch power on and off to computers and devices, to switch from solar to wind and a variety of other chores. What a pain! Now we have developed and designed a Quad Power Management board incorporating I2C controlled 4 Independent Solid State Relays each with LEDs to show what is going on with the board. Each solid state relay is able to switch 20V and 2.3A. You can switch DC signals and analog signals (with proper conditioning - you need to add a DC Offset for analog signals). This board is magic to us for building power systems. There are 4 Additional GPIOs provided on the board (thanks to the SX1502 as in the above board) that can be used as GPIOs, interrupts or a programmable logic gate as above. Software drivers for Arduino and Raspberry Pi Included! We are using this board extensively in our new SunRover semi-autonomous robot design. You will be seeing a series of articles on this robot in Raspberry Pi Geek magazine starting in the August 2015 issue.

The other two computers are an Arduino Mega 2560 (the power management computer - also does weather sensing) and the brains of SunRover, a Raspberry Pi 2 Quad Core computer. The electronics will be packaged in a BUD enclosure as below. Note the Circuit Board Condo that we designed and 3D printed.

It takes 3 batteries to get up to about ~12V. The problem is that all of our Solar Powered Charging system is designed to charge 3.7V LiPo batteries. Our solution? Use two QPM boards to switch the batteries from a series to parallel connection and then charge the batteries from SunAirPlus. The QPM board even has two inputs per device. One with a protective diode and one without the diode. Perfect for our application. \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.switchdoc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/IMG_0969.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"712\" width=\"930\" alt=\"IMG_0969\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_IMG_0969-1024x784.jpg?13760602946785384368\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2288\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSolar Panel Multiplexer\u003c\/h3\u003e\nSunRover has 6 3.5W\/6V solar panels.

Each of these six solar panels can be switched by a Quad Power Management board and be connected in different ways to provide more power to the subsystem (Motors, Arduino or Raspberry Pi) depending on what needs it at the time and the Sun. We are using four QPM boards to accomplish this.

The winters are cold up here in the frozen north and LiPo batteries and electronics need to be kept warm to keep working. We are accomplishing this by using the QPM board to switch 10W\/20 Ohm resistors, one in each compartment. We have temperature sensors in each compartment that will give us the feedback we need to moderate the heat sent to the resistors. How do we control the heat coming off of each resistor? We pulse the QPM switches to only power the resistor for the amount we need. If we want 3.6W, we turn the QPM switch on 1\/2 of the time (7.2W\/2). We can make it generate just enough heat to keep the compartment at the right temperature. Very cool. Or hot in this case. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_243a3f78fcdb033c42f0b749b1c97f8b_original-2.jpg?16614707158960697788\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"521\" width=\"680\" alt=\"243a3f78fcdb033c42f0b749b1c97f8b_original-2\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2455\/2113\/t\/8\/assets\/description_image_243a3f78fcdb033c42f0b749b1c97f8b_original-2.jpg?16614707158960697788\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2295\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-id=\"4093248\" class=\"template asset\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\nQPM - Battery Stacker \/ Unstacker Applicaton\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.5em;\"\u003eQuad Power Management Loaded Test\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\nTo test the current carrying capability of the QPM board, a 10 Ohm 10W resistor and measure the current through the resistor.

This is a board and cable utilizing the standard FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC. Compare at $19 for other FTDI cables The pinout of this board matches the FTDI cable to work with 5V\/3V Arduino board as well as matching the FTDI pinout for the ESP8266 breakout boards such as the Adafruit Huzzah Board. It can also be used for general serial applications. The major difference with this board is that it brings out the DTR pin as opposed to the RTS pin of the FTDI cable. The DTR pin allows an Arduino target (it makes no difference to a ESP8266 to auto-reset when a new Sketch is downloaded. This is a nice feature to have and allows a sketch to be downloaded without having to hit the reset button. This board will auto reset any Arduino board that has the reset pin brought out to a 6-pin connector. The pins labeled BLK and GRN correspond to the colored wires on the FTDI cable. The black wire on the FTDI cable is GND, green is CTS. Use these BLK and GRN pins to align the FTDI basic board with your Arduino target.

This is a board and cable utilizing the standard FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC. Compare at $19 for other FTDI cables The pinout of this board matches the FTDI cable to work with 5V\/3V Arduino board as well as matching the FTDI pinout for the ESP8266 breakout boards such as the Adafruit Huzzah Board. It can also be used for general serial applications. The major difference with this board is that it brings out the DTR pin as opposed to the RTS pin of the FTDI cable. The DTR pin allows an Arduino target (it makes no difference to a ESP8266 to auto-reset when a new Sketch is downloaded. This is a nice feature to have and allows a sketch to be downloaded without having to hit the reset button. This board will auto reset any Arduino board that has the reset pin brought out to a 6-pin connector. The pins labeled BLK and GRN correspond to the colored wires on the FTDI cable. The black wire on the FTDI cable is GND, green is CTS. Use these BLK and GRN pins to align the FTDI basic board with your Arduino target.

WeatherRack\u003c\/a\u003e, ArgentData Weather Sensors, SparkFun Weather Meters SEN-08942 in one C++ class. The library is easy to use and hides the complexity of the interface to the sensors. The C++ class has two Interrupt Service Routines (ISR), one each for the anemometer and the rain bucket. The wind vane is connected to an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) input pin on the Arduino. Note that the C++ class is designed to be a singleton, in other words, you only can interface one sensor package without some additional work (mostly involving Interrupts). The article in \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry-pi-geek.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eRaspberry Pi Geek magazine\u003c\/a\u003e discusses this in detail. There are two main modes for the class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSDL_MODE_SAMPLE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSDL_MODE_SAMPLE mode means return immediately after asking for the wind speed. The wind speed is averaged at sampleTime or since you last asked, whichever is longer. If the sample time has not passed since the last call, the class returns the last calculated wind speed. That means that you will never see changes faster than the specified sample time. This allows you to not wait for the wind speed, you can just grab the last valid reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSDL_MODE_DELAY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSDL_MODE_DELAY mode means to wait for the set sample time to expire and return the average wind speed at the expiration. You would use this if you want to make sure you have the latest value and your program architecture allows you to pause for the sample time before continuing. Which mode you use depends on the specific software architecture of your Arduino application. Typically, I use SDL_MODE_SAMPLE because I can tolerate not having a current value of wind speed.

WeatherRack\u003c\/a\u003e, ArgentData Weather Sensors, SparkFun Weather Meters SEN-08942 in one C++ class. The library is easy to use and hides the complexity of the interface to the sensors. The C++ class has two Interrupt Service Routines (ISR), one each for the anemometer and the rain bucket. The wind vane is connected to an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) input pin on the Arduino. Note that the C++ class is designed to be a singleton, in other words, you only can interface one sensor package without some additional work (mostly involving Interrupts). The article in \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry-pi-geek.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eRaspberry Pi Geek magazine\u003c\/a\u003e discusses this in detail. There are two main modes for the class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSDL_MODE_SAMPLE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSDL_MODE_SAMPLE mode means return immediately after asking for the wind speed. The wind speed is averaged at sampleTime or since you last asked, whichever is longer. If the sample time has not passed since the last call, the class returns the last calculated wind speed. That means that you will never see changes faster than the specified sample time. This allows you to not wait for the wind speed, you can just grab the last valid reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSDL_MODE_DELAY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSDL_MODE_DELAY mode means to wait for the set sample time to expire and return the average wind speed at the expiration. You would use this if you want to make sure you have the latest value and your program architecture allows you to pause for the sample time before continuing. Which mode you use depends on the specific software architecture of your Arduino application. Typically, I use SDL_MODE_SAMPLE because I can tolerate not having a current value of wind speed.

If it is above 6V or above, you need to add in a 10W 5.6V Zener diode across the solar panels to protect your SunControl board and system. Connect the \"+\" end of the diode to the \"+\" side of the solar panel (or the line from the solar panel to the SunControl Board) and the \"-\" side to the negative (\"-\") side of the panel. This will get hot, so let it hang free in the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, you can’t just put 10 1W 5.6V Zener diodes in parallel.

If it is above 6V or above, you need to add in a 10W 5.6V Zener diode across the solar panels to protect your SunControl board and system. Connect the \"+\" end of the diode to the \"+\" side of the solar panel (or the line from the solar panel to the SunControl Board) and the \"-\" side to the negative (\"-\") side of the panel. This will get hot, so let it hang free in the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, you can’t just put 10 1W 5.6V Zener diodes in parallel. They aren’t identical and the one that is slightly lower will take all the current. You can, however, stack them in series to acquire the appropriate voltage and power dissipation.

Thunder Board Lightning Simulator

Debugging Lightning Detectors has always been a problem. You have to wait for a lightning storm. To fix this problem, we have now developed a Lighting Simulator product.

This board is a companion to the SwitchDoc Labs Thunder Board Lighting Detector. This fully assembled and programmed product will generate simulated lighting on cue to test your lightning detection setup.

We use it regularly in house and are pleased to release this as a product.

We have just posted the software for the Thunder Board Lightning Simulator.

https://github.com/switchdoclabs/SDL_Arduino_ThunderBoardSimulator

It comes with a fully assembled and programmed shield plugged into an Arduino Uno R3. Works out of the box. USB to USB - Type A Cable for programming and power.

Here is what it does:

Far Lightning Strike (push Far Stk Button)
Mid-range Lightning Strike (push Mid Stk Button)
Close Lightning Strike (push Close Stk Button)

and three other lightning test modes:

Slow Timed Lightning Strike Mode - Every 5 minutes (push Far Stk and Mid Stk buttons together)
Fast Timed Lightning Strike Mode - Every 15 seconds (push Mid Stk and Close Stk buttons together)
Random Timed Lightning Strike Mode - From 30 seconds to 30 minutes (push all three buttons together)

You terminate the Time Strike modes by pushing any single button or by performing a power off or reset.

Note: This lighting simulator is not very strong and might have to be held close to the Thunder Board Lightning Detector especially in the presence of cell phones, computers and monitors. If you look at the Thunder Board Lightning Detector, you can see when the Lightning board picks up lightning when the Interrupt White LED blinks or lights up.

If you are having detection problems, move your whole test setup away from RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) sources.
