Dev Kit PCB installed on a Pi 2.

Parts

Parts List

Mechanical Drawing for RJ connectors.

Board Layout Version 0.2


Assembly

40 pin header

1. Insert the 2x20 female header from the bottom side of the board.

2. Solder the header on the top (component, silk screen) side of the board.

Resistors

Number Value (Ohms) Purpose
R1 330 Controls brightness of LED
R2 200K 12 V monitoring voltage divider
R3 1K 12 V monitoring voltage divider
R4 2.2K 12 V monitoring Reference voltage divider
R5 2.2K 12 V monitoring Reference voltage divider
R6 1K Rain gauge input filter

Male headers

Required

  1. H8 1x4 and H9 1x6 for the HX711 board.

Optional

  1. H4 1x4 for console serial port
  2. H2 1x5 for I2C
  3. H6 1x5 for spare GPIO
  4. H7 1x7 for I2s
  5. 4 1x2 for 12 V power supply option 1.

RJ1 and RJ2

Be very careful to check that all the leads are in the holes before you snap it in

Install the HX711 board

  1. Install C1 4.7 mfd. Observe polarity.
  2. Insert the 1x4 and 1x6 female headers on the make headers.
  3. Install the HX711 board on the 1x4 and 1x6 female headers.

LED

  1. Install LED D1.
  1. Install C3 .1 mfd. for rain gauge filter.

12 VDC power supply if used.

Power Supply Option 1: D-SUN

  1. Install four 1x2 male headers.
  2. Install blue screw terminal block.
  3. Install four 1x2 female headers on the four 1x2 male headers.
  4. Install the Power Supply board on the four 1x2 female headers.
WARNING: If you use the D-SUN 12 volt power supply it must be adjusted before you plug the board into the Pi! Failure to set the output of the 12 v supply to 5 volt will fry the Pi, SD card, USB peripherals.

Power Supply Option 2: Fulree

  1. Install Fulree voltage regulator
  2. Install green spring terminal block.

Testing

If using Power Supply Option 1, the voltage must be adjusted to 5.0 to 5.1 volts before connecting to the Pi or HX711 board.
