<p>FoxCub16 changes to Ren-W</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>=Fox Cub Ren-W Changes=<br /> <br /> Please see the standard [[Disclaimers|Disclaimers]]&lt;br/&gt;<br /> <br /> More detailed documentation on Fox Cub can be found in the [http://doityourselfchristmas.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fox_Cub_Overview Fox Cub Overview]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Overview==<br /> <br /> Ren-W provides RS232 voltage levels via the MAX232 which is too high for the RS485 voltage levels FoxCub16 uses. Do not use the Ren-W without modification with FoxCub16, the ATMega328p will eventually overheat.<br /> <br /> The following details alterations to 2 boards. Board 1 is a Ren-W transmitter connected to FCSquealer. Board 2 is a Ren-W receiver connected to the FoxCub16 RS485 network.<br /> <br /> The Max232 chip should be removed on both boards.<br /> <br /> http://www.doityourselfchristmas.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ren-W_BOM_and_Construction<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Ren-W Transmitter Connected to FCSquealer==<br /> <br /> The changes to the Ren-W Rev 6 PCB are minor:<br /> <br /> ::*Remove Max232IN chip from Ren-W<br /> <br /> ::*Make sure JP2 is NOT jumpered.<br /> <br /> ::*Remove RJ45 from transmitter board.<br /> <br /> ::*Jumper TX, (RX should be NOT jumpered)<br /> <br /> ::*Connect 3 Wires between the Ren-W Rev6 and FCSquealer:<br /> <br /> :::*JP4 (GND) on the Ren-W to the Ground terminal on the DC Power socket on FCSquealer<br /> <br /> :::*JP3 (5V) on the Ren-W to the 5V terminal on the DC Power socket on FCSquealer<br /> <br /> :::*JP2 (left side, furthest away from the LED) on the RenW to R3 (the end furthest away from the DC Power Socket) on FCSquealer<br /> <br /> Note: It&#039;s permitted to use the Ren-W and FCSquealer for transmitting both wirelessly and via Cat5E (RS485) at the same time.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Ren-W Receiver connected to RS485==<br /> <br /> A DS75176 is used as a RS485 transmitter.<br /> <br /> ::*Remove Max232IN on the Ren-W<br /> <br /> ::*Make sure JP2 is NOT jumpered on the Ren-W<br /> <br /> ::*Jumper TX and RX on the Ren-W<br /> <br /> ::*On the Ren-W, solder pins 7/8 on the RJ45 together, and connect to 5V on the board.<br /> <br /> ::*On the DS75176 connect:<br /> <br /> :::*Pin 2 to Pin 3 and connect that via a 4.7K resistor to 5V<br /> <br /> :::*Pin 4 to Pin 10 on the Max232 pinout (note MAX232 is removed) on the Ren-W<br /> <br /> :::*Pin 5 to 0V<br /> <br /> :::*Pin 6 to Pin 7 with a 120 Ohm resistor<br /> <br /> :::*Pin 8 to 5V<br /> <br /> <br /> :::*Also connect Pin 6 to the bottom of the RX header on the Ren-W (bottom is nearest the LED)<br /> <br /> :::*Also connect Pin 7 to the bottom of the TX header on the Ren-W (bottom is nearest the LED)<br /> <br /> :::*Connect Pin 12 on the Max 232 pinout (not MAX232 is removed) on the Ren-W to 5V<br /> <br /> ::*Supply 0V to JP4, supply 5V to JP3<br /> <br /> <br /> Another way to implement the receiver changes is to create a daughter board that plugs into the MAX232 DIL socket:<br /> <br /> !!!!!![[File:FoxCub16.jpg|600px]]&lt;br/&gt;<br /> &lt;br/&gt;<br /> !!!!!![[File:FCSquealer.jpg|600px]]&lt;br/&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Tested Settings For Ren-W, FoxCub16 and Vixen==<br /> <br /> :XBee Configuration<br /> ::*Function Set: XBEE PRO 802.15.4 Tested Firmware Version: EC<br /> ::*Mac Mode: 1-802.15.4 NO ACKS<br /> ::*Interface Data Rate: 57600<br /> ::*Parity: No Parity<br /> ::*Packetization Timeout: 0<br /> <br /> :Vixen Configuration<br /> ::*Baud: 57600<br /> ::*Parity: None<br /> ::*Stop Bits: 1<br /> ::*Data bits: 8<br /> <br /> :FoxCub16 Configuration<br /> ::*Baud: 57600<br /> <br /> <br /> NOTE: Speeds over 57600 won&#039;t work in general with the Ren-W due to XBee Radio limitations</div>
