Ren64TW

Ren64TW - in development.

This wiki page is under development, please check back as I will be updating it as time allows.

Introduction

The Ren64TW is a 64 channel board, using external SSRs. It has an on board power supply, and optional XBee support.

This board is currently in development by J. Bolding (bolwire). An initial run of 10 pcbs has been ordered for testing and verification.

The Board

The board measurement is 5.825"W X 5.500"H, and the provided mounting holes are placed to align with a CG-1500 demarcation enclosure.

Board Availability

The Ren64TW is currently under development and not available at this time.

Inquires should be directed to bolwire here on the DIYC forum.

PCBs should be expected to be available no earlier than June 2014, however if that changes I will update as needed.

Bill of Materials

The BOM project at Mouser contains all parts needed, except the optional XBee module.

You can find the Mouser project BOM here

Jumper Configuration

The Ren64TW has a jumper for just about any configuration you would like to use.

Jumper JP1 & JP2:

For RS-232 (direct to PC) JP1 ON/JP2 OFF

For RS-485 (output from renard board or converter/adapater) JP1 OFF/JP2 ON, Try removing JP2 if communication issues occur.

Jumper JP3: Selects weather the incoming data is from a wired connection or XBee module

Jumper JP4: Enables XBee transmit

Jumper JP5: Resistor bypass for XBee incoming data

Jumper JP6: Selects the standard renard method of passing data to the next controller, or to use bypass (thru) for DMX and Start Address firmware use
