Initial Bringup & checkout
Board 003
Board 00 selected as sacrificial:
- Optically checked soldering/board as is
- Plug in USB-C
- Check 3v3 and 5v power; check red LED comes one.
- Check for magic smoke/things getting hot (nothing should)
- check detection of serial port/driver. It won't have any output at this point
- PoE powering
- Solder in RJ45 connector
- Place solder bridges Vpwr, V5 to VPOE/VPOE5 in Source field and SS for both
- Plug in PoE ethernet; check voltages: 5V, 3v3 and Vpwr==5V
- ESP32
- Solder in the ESP32
- Unplug PoE ethernet; plug in USB;
- Rework #1 - swap EN/IO0 at the transistors
- PoE and ESP32
- Remove from USB; plug into PoE and check LEDs start flashing as soon as the power LED comes on.
From this point on - use a Galvanic USB isolator when connecting to the board with Ethernet plugged in.
- Solder in Buzzer, OLED display (if needed), buttons, connectors
- Test with plain PowerNode install & check screen & menu cycling
- Check IP allocation on screen/serial and check web interface
- Check RFID
- Use VNA to check if swiping does not work.
- Rework #2 - remove TVS protection diodes from the antenna. Too far off capacity wise (spec says a few pF; they appear to be in the 10s of nF).
- (Optional) solder on final power selection, fuses, sensors, etc.
Board 004
Selected for the 2025 update of Node Spacedeur:
- Rework 1 and 2 done
- LEDs of ERR, OUT1 and OUT2 moved to the front
- R84 (rfid select) removed; and RJ12 connector for separate RFID board soldered in
- Separate RFID board from bandsaw white board that was water-damaged during roof leak/rain water
- i2c Headers soldered in
- Steppermotor driver and header soldered in
todo: higher stepper voltage
