Re: WBUS-DIP28 Design comment and warning

Another note about the DIP28. If you are one of the lucky guys (like me) that already got a WBUS-DIP28, please note that D1 isn't installed but bridged. For these boards I would recommend to power the board only via the USB connection on the WBUS-DIP28.

Re: WBUS-DIP28 Design comment and warning

We use VIN as power input to the PYBD in basically all of our designs. It will tolerate up to 5.5V, There is one caveat: If the board has a wireless module installed, the voltage shouldn't exceed 4.8 V. It is strongly recommended to use a reverse current protection diode anyhow. Even a Schottky diod...

Re: WBUS-DIP28 backup battery possible error?

The diode used was selected to provide minimal reverse current. Unfortunately this means pretty high forward voltage. Therefor a pretty low current limiting resistor has to be used. Note that the battery isn't installed as it cannot re-flowed but has to be hand soldered. It is also pretty hard to ge...

Re: Pyboard D: Can't switch to 216 MHz

Changing CPU clock while a USB connection is active will have an impact on the data links operating via the USB interface (like the REPL). I had to toggle between 120 and 216 MHz for quite some time to force missing characters. I'm using minicom on a linux machine. Minicom is known to tolerate USB o...

Re: PYBD WBUS connector

See:

To my knowledge there will be mating headers available on the MicroPython store.

Re: Comparison of the three Pyboard D models?

Only PYBD-SF3-xxxx has a high speed USB interface with integrated high speed PHY. Most if not every STM32F7xx MCU has a high speed USB interface but only F723/F733 have an integrated high speed PHY.
So if you really need high speed (480 MBaud) USB, PYBD-SF3 is the only choice.

Re: Speed of uart

We regulary use STM32 UARTs up to 3Mbaud. I have to admit that we are also using proper 20 Mbaud differential line drivers

Re: Necessary to connect ALL V+ & GND pins?

Using one pin for V+ & GND is ok. If V+ is used to power the PYBV11 you might consider a protective diode and some decoupling caps.

Re: RTC wakeup depends on calibration value ???

If rtc.wakeup(ms, wup) is used, STM32 will always use non-calibrated RTC timer for intervals < 16s.
For intervals >= 16s the calibrated 1s timer will be used.
To force rtc.wakeup using 1s clock, use:

Code: Select all

rtc.wakeup(4, 0, wup) # 1s interval
rtc.wakeup(4, 1, wup) # 2s interval

Re: Looking for a board with 16 ADC channels and WiFi

PYBD allows 16 ADC channels spread on two or three ADCs.
