M1.1 specifics

Macchina 1.1 is our first revision. The goal for this board was to improve and fix the issues we found on the previous 1.0 version.

These changes from 1.0 are as follows:

  1. ISO interface now has option to connect to hardware UART pins on ATmega2560 through solder jumper SJ2, SJ3, SJ4, SJ5
  2. Termination jumpers are now shunt-type with 0.1" spacing.
  3. SPI header (ISCP1) now in the same spot as Arduino MEGA, improving shield compatibility and removing need for SPI re-routing solder jumpers from M1.0
  4. USB connector (CON1) now has thru-hole legs for better durability
  5. Dual terminal block combined into one 8 pin connector (CON2)

New additions/changes to board:

  1. CANbus isolation option added, including isolated power supply

Known issues/changes, all of which WILL BE addressed in M1.2 update:

  1. ISO interface circuitry inverts logic. ATmega2560 does not have straight-forward way to invert logic, so a hardware change is needed. Hand-modification performed to rectify this. See this page for more information on this modification.
  2. Remove isolation option: adds unneeded to cost/complexity of board. Use external isolation solution if needed
  3. TBD: testing in progress.

Comments

Road trips through Ontario made me curious about the different websites connected with towns and local entertainment. While looking through regional information, I came across belleville casino and added it to the pages I wanted to review. I normally look at the navigation before focusing on individual details because it helps me understand how the site is organised. Straightforward menus are useful when I am browsing from a phone or quickly comparing several sources. I also find it easier to research when the information is divided into short, clearly defined sections. Comparing the main points afterwards gives me a more complete picture than relying on a single page.
