General Pi Pro notes

  • v.9 PCB is mostly evaluated

    • minor error in silkscreen on the voltage divider for monitoring battery voltage. The schematic is correct.

    • drill size of I2C LCD header was too small.

    • Both items are corrected

    • I may consider mounting the delay pot headers with right angle connector so I can keep the pot connected while programming the display controller

  • Software development

    • Both Arduinos are functioning

    • Basic PI code is running and evaluation will start on sending meaningful timing parameters to the PI controller

    • Pressing ‘SELECT’ will display the battery voltage

    • low battery detection automatically every 30s

      • TODO: shut down PI timing entirely when battery is low

  • Cyril’s development board has delay offset set to 149-150 (for recalibration purposes)

  • Basic TX pulse-width is working

  • Sample width is working

  • Audio tone selection is working
