Hey Everyone,
just got my PCB's yesterday (1 1/2 week, "production --> shipping --> China --> Germany" without special shipping. That´s fu..... fast), so i had a little time today for some measurement.
Before starting, i want to say again: AlbEagle, it is a really really awesome work you did with the radiostack. Now, where the pcb is in front of me, it looks like a little master work :-) So, again thumbs up for you.
I don´t think you are working with Eagle or some of that small tools or do you? Looks more Professional, like Altium Designer or somthing like that. I don't think that its possible to create a routing like that with Eagle.
I'm really interested, what software you use :-)
So, back to topic. First off all, 98% is at the right place. But the GND Problem really need to be fixed. For that there a 2 Options:
Option 1:
vice - versa the Encoder with the Led input on the Radio, or the Arduino PCB. Not on both sides, there won´t be any effect :-) They need to be crossed.
+ No Soldering
- extremly mess up of the pinout. Will be hard work with Mobiflight.
Option 2: (for sure, the way i will go)
Cut the GND cable and solder some bridges. The bridges needed because of DME-Mhz+. It goes to another Pin.
Let´s start with original Pinout. like it is without doing any work on the pcb:
I´m going to fix it like in this picture:
What i´ll do is, cut the wires at encoder pin 29 and 39 (black cross). And the wire at Led pin 39. The GND brigdes not really needed but more ground points, more better :-))
And at last the two bridges at encoder pin 29 (DME-Khz+) to Led pin 37. That needs to be, because DME-Khz + and - are on to different boards. That makes the configuration in Mobiflight impossible. Now they are side by side.
And of course, DME-Mhz+ to the free pin 40 on the Led pcb.
The Pin Bridges need to be soldered on the Radiostack pcb !!!!!!!! If you bridge the GND too, that need to be on the Arduino PCB !!!! Very important !!!
For now that´s all :-) i´ll post the Mobiflight config files too. Maybe at the weekend. Maybe next weekend :-)
