This documentation covers few different hardware revisions. Each secion which is
|
||||||
|
specific to certain Hw Rev is marked by a letter.
|

|
|

If section or point is universal across all revision it doesn't have any explicit

marking.

1. INTRODUCTION
|
||||||
|
ParaTNC is not only a software which runs on the STM32VLDISCOVERY board. Let's
|
||||||
|
be honest, using evaluation boards is not very professional and may lead to
|
||||||
|
great mess with soldering, poor-quality universal PCBs and then short
|
||||||
|
circuits, noise etc. This is why the ParaTNC hardware was designed to have
|
||||||
|
everything on single PCB without a lot of jumper wires across.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ParaTNC as a software is universal and it might by used both on ParaTNC
|
||||||
|
hardware and still on STM32VLDISCOVERY board with everything else connected
|
||||||
|
to it using kynar wire.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. KEY FEATURES
|
||||||
|
There were few key assumptions during the designing process which came from
|
||||||
|
long experience with many different stations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
-> Ground Isolation between the controller and the radio.
|
||||||
|
-> Ground Isolation and isolated power supply for external meteo sensors.
|
||||||
|
-> RS232 and optional RS485 transceivers on board.
|
||||||
|
-> Internal connectors for breakout board with MS5611 pressure sensor.
|
||||||
|
-> Separate watchdog IC.
|
||||||
|
-> Optional Radiometrix BiM1H 500mW VHF transceiver tuned on 144.800MHz.
|
||||||
|
-> The PCB mechanical design which fits into standard Mikrotik RB411 case.
|
||||||
|
-> Supplied from single +12V...14V5 DC source using standard DC barrel jack.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The main problem observed during long experience with meteo stations is RF
|
||||||
|
feedback. Most sensors (like temperature, wind and humidity) needs to be
|
||||||
|
placed outside to ensure proper measuremenets quality. Unfortunately
|
||||||
|
extending micro GPIO pins directly by using long cables placed along with
|
||||||
|
the RF coax cabling, definitely allows the RF energy from stations own TX
|
||||||
|
to get inside the micro and do a lot of mess. In less dangerous case this
|
||||||
|
may end with distorted AF coming into modulator input, in the worst case
|
||||||
|
the micro could just hang with PTT engaged.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. SERIAL BOOTLOADER
|
||||||
|
The PCB has a JTAG pinout exposed which may be used for downloading the
|
||||||
|
software into micro. If User don't want to use a JTAG programmer or he
|
||||||
|
just doesn't own one, the serial bootloader may be used.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The bootloader is activated by shorting the proper jumper and reseting
|
||||||
|
the controler. Then the application provided by STMicroelectronics
|
||||||
|
could be used to download the HEX file into the micro.
|
||||||

5. RJ45 (RS232) pinout
|
||||||
|
The RJ45 jack on the front of the PCB is NOT THE ETHERNET! Please don't plug
|
||||||
|
any twisted pair Ethernet cable onto it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The RJ45 socket is just an RS232 connector in standard Cisco Serial Console
|
||||||
|
pinout. The proper RJ45 -> DB9 cable could be very easly obtain on any
|
||||||
|
online shop like eBay etc. The only difference between official Cisco pinout
|
||||||
|
and ParaTNC is an optional (disabled by default) +5V voltage which may by
|
||||||
|
applied to pin 7 of RJ45 connector, which is wired to pin 4 of female DB9 plug.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6. Female DB9 (radio) pinout
|
||||||
|
The DB9 connector is used to connect to the radio used for receiving & txing
|
||||||
|
data on the APRS radio network. As mentioned before this connector has a ground
|
||||||
|
separation and it is isolated from the microcontroller using AF transformer and
|
||||||
|
optocoupler (for PTT). An input transformer has a 220uF 16V electrolytic
|
||||||
|
capaciter in series between a primary winding and DB9. The positve lead faces
|
||||||
|
the DB9 connector to isolate potential DC offset coming from the radio.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The connector itself repeats the Tapr (Muel) TNC-2 pinout which goes as below:
|
||||||
|
Pin 3 - AF from Radio to TNC
|
||||||
|
Pin 4 - Open Drain PTT
|
||||||
|
Pin 5 - AF from TNC to Radio
|
||||||
|
Pin 7 - AGND
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
7. Adjusting audio levels
|
||||||
|
The ParaTNC controller has two trimpots mounted on PCB which may be used to
|
||||||
|
tune the level of audio coming from/to the radio.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The trimpot located close to the microcontroller is used to set the output signal
|
||||||
|
level. The another one which is near right isolation transformer changes the
|
||||||
|
input level and it is hooked up between the primary winding and DC-blocking
|
||||||
|
electrolytic
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

9. CHOOSING BETWEEN RS485 AND RS232 (applies only to HW Revision A)
|
||||||
|
ParaTNC controller has connectors for both 485 and 232 variant of RS standard.
|
||||||
|
This doesn't automatically means that ParaTNC has two separate serial ports,
|
||||||
|
this is still the same serial port from the microcontroller which just may
|
||||||
|
be converted differently. Due to how TTL and CMOS logic works You CANNOT use
|
||||||
|
both 232 and 485 at once. If You'll leave 485 and 232 enabled at once the main
|
||||||
|
logic supply voltage may be shorted to ground if one transceiver will receive
|
||||||
|
logic one while the another will receive zero (and pull low the TTL/CMOS rx
|
||||||
|
line which goes to the micro)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is strongly recommended to put MAX485 into socket. In such case the
|
||||||
|
transition from RS485 to RS232 could be done just by removing MAX485
|
||||||
|
from the socket and then shorting the RS232sel jumpers block. Jumpers
|
||||||
|
needs to be shorted horizontally
|

|

Supply voltage can be applied either by miniUSB connector or +5V pin in right header. Use both metods are not allowed and
|
||||||
|
can lead even to burning controler and/or power supply.
|
||||||
|
|

|
PC3 - PTT (default Open Drain)
|
||||||
|
PA4 - DAC Output - signal from controller to radio
|
||||||
|
PC1 - ADC input - signal from radio to controller. Schould be connected via 100nF in series capacitor and 10k-10k voltage
|
||||||
|
divider to apply 1.65V (half od 3.3V) bias on ADC input
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
PA10 - UART RX
|
||||||
|
PA9 - UART TX - This UART port of course work in TTL3.3V logic levels so You need MAX3232 or simmilar to connect to PC

PB6 - SCL to i2c pressure sensor
|

PB7 - SDA to i2c pressure sensor

|
PB9 - TX line from TX20 anemometr - brown wire in original cable
|
||||||
|
PB8 - DTR line from TX20 aneometr - green wire in original cable but it can be just permanently
|
||||||
|
pulled down do ground via 1k resistor (ground is yellow wire in original cable).
|
||||||
|
tx20 anemometr should be powered from positive 5V voltage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
PC6 - Dallas One Wire pin to DS termometer. Only one termometer can be used and it should be powered via separate +5V line,
|
||||||
|
parasite power is not recommended.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
PC4 - DHT22 pin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
LEDS:
|
||||||
|
Blue LED - DCD - lights up while controller is receiving APRS packet from radio.
|
||||||
|
Green LED - If meteo is enabled this blinks when transmission from TX20 anemometr is correctly received.
|
||||||
|
In 'non-meteo' mode it works as TX indicator and lights up when controler is transmitting data.
