You got the WLED chain board manufactured.
It is now time to test if the hardware has been assembled correctly.
Test the 6-60V power input for shorts:
- use a multimeter in resistance mode
- put the COM lead on the 6-60V screw terminal - terminal
- put the V lead on the 6-60V screw terminal + terminal
- the multimeter should read O.L or above 10 MOhn
- put the COM lead on the 6-60V screw terminal + terminal
- put the V lead on the 6-60V screw terminal - terminal
- the multimeter should a fluctuation resistance above 100 kOhm
Test the 5V power port for shorts:
- use a multimeter in resistance mode
- put the COM lead on the 5V screw terminal - terminal
- put the V lead on the 5V screw terminal + terminal
- the multimeter should read 1.8 kOhm
- put the COM lead on the 5V screw terminal + terminal
- put the V lead on the 5V screw terminal - terminal
- the multimeter should an increasing resistance above 1 kOhm
Test the 3.3V rail for shorts:
- use a multimeter in resistance mode
- put the COM lead on the I/O header 3V pin
- put the V lead on the I/O header 0V pin
- the multimeter should read 3-4 kOhm
- put the COM lead on the I/O header 0V pin
- put the V lead on the I/O header 3V pin
- the multimeter should above 10 kOhm
Test the 3.3V voltage regulator:
- connect a power supply set to 5V and limited to 0.2 A on the 5V screw terminal
- the rightmost green LED should be on
- the board should draw around 0.1A
- ensure 3.3V are present on the I/O header 3V/0V pins
Test the USB power input:
- plug a USB cable connected to a USB port supply on the USB-C port
- the rightmost green LED should be on
- the board should draw around 0.1A
- ensure 3.3V are present on the I/O header 3V/0V pins
Test the 5V voltage regulator:
- connect a power supply set to 6V and limited to 0.3 A (must be more than 0.2 A) on the 6-60V screw terminal
- the rightmost green and second rightmost yellow LEDs should be on
- the board should draw around 0.1A
- ensure 5.0A are present on the 5V screw terminal
Test resettable 1.8A input fuse:
- connect a power supply set to 7V and limited to 3A on the 6-60V screw terminal
- the rightmost green and second rightmost yellow LEDs should be on
- connect a 1 Ohm resistor across the 5V screw terminal
- after 10 to 20 seconds, the green light should turn off while the yellow light remains
- remove the resistor from the 5V screw terminal
- after a second, the green light should turns back on
