Procedure to test RPI-Console-U card

GVSDuino wired to custom board

RPI-Console-Test-5459-cropped-640px.jpg

  • Custom RASPI-PLUS-GVS-CFG Test card to GVSDuino card wiring
    • Wire V5-1 header pin S (pin 3) to GVSDuino GVS pin D3 SIG (TX)
    • Wire V5-2 header pin S (pin 3) to GVSDuino GVS pin D2 SIG (RX)
    • Wire V5-1 header pin GND (pin 1) to GVSDuino GVS pin D2 GND
    • Wire V5-2 header pin GND (pin 1) to GVSDuino GVS pin D3 GND
    • Wire V5-1 header pin +5V (pin 2) to GVSDuino GVS pin D2 +5V power
    • Wire V5-2 header pin +5V (pin 2) to GVSDuino GVS pin D3 +5V power
  • GVS-Switch to GVSDuino wiring

Test Software

  • Poll for receive character
  • When character is received, echo back character
  • Loop forever
  • Code on GitHub

Test Procedure

  • Test setup as above
  • Test setup powered down
  • Install UUT (RPI-Console-U card being tested)
  • Connect USB cable from Test Computer to UUT
  • Boards should power up
  • Look in Device manager to make sure COM port was added
  • Run putty on Test Computer
    • Select COM port in putty
    • 9600, n, 8, 1
    • No handshake
  • Hit reset on GVS-Switch card on 830 point breadboard
  • Verify the message comes back
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
0123456789
asdfghjkl
Hit keys to test
  • Type and verify that the character comes back
  • Disconnect USB to RPI-Console

Specs

External links

Rev X3 (vs X2)

  • Moved "Power Pi from USB" connector to center of card
  • Rev X2 (vs X1)
  • Moved connector slightly closer to the edge
  • Made USB connector PWB pads longer
  • Adds ID resistor pads to USB pin
    • Not populated

Rev X1 Checkout

  • Micro USB mounting holes fit well
  • Connector could be slightly farther to the edge
  • USB connector PWB pads were too short - trimmed pins to fit
  • Ordered 3 more from OshPark new X2 rev
