board/CHANGELOG.md

2.0 KiB

v3

changes:

  • more appropriate LED resistor values
  • change LED meaning
  • use only PDM mic
  • replace ESP32-S2 with ESP32 for PDM support, and better WLED support
  • make USB optional (only needed for debug)
  • add one I/O to port (allowing 3-line protocols like SPI or I2S)
  • change input capacitors (for manufacturability)

v2

fixes:

  • ESP antenna not surrounded by copper

changes:

  • use larger barrier terminal for power ports to carry more current, clamp more wires, and allow wiring when the board is mounted in the enclosure
  • remove 5V jack to save space, 5V power can be provided by USB port, and to avoid plugging 8-60V into 5V port (frying all the electronics)
  • add board hole to fit in other enclosure version
  • use ESP32-S2-MINI instead of WROOM to save space and avoid Not Recommended for New Design part
  • use top spring terminal for LED data wires so they can be inserted when the board is mounted in the enclosure
  • add status LED and change LED meanings
  • complete re-layout, more compact
  • add I²S and PDM MEMS microphone (I²S is present because I did not test PDM yet)

v1

fixes:

  • both pins of the spring terminals are connected

changes:

  • use screw terminal for power input/output to support more current
  • add power input protection: PPTC and reverse polarity
  • add switch configure DMX512 line termination (loop back to D2 so the XLR chain can continue, end using a termination resistor, or continue forwarding to other port
  • change DC-DC buck converter to TPS54560 for large input voltage (e.g. 48V power supply and batteries)

issues: all the same as v0

v0

first prototype, with the bare features

issues:

  • the case has actually other mounting holes
  • WiFi does not work because of missing copper clearance around the antenna.
  • KF141R footprint is not long enough (not really an issue)
  • LED cables need to be stripped ~ 10 mm to fit it KF141R (minor inconvenience)
