Unpacking

You should have:

•Application Board 3

What ou will need

To start using the application board you will also need:

•VM2 or VM2D Controller (5900 or 5907)

•7.5 - 12VDC, 4 Watt power supply. (You can use more than 12VDC with caution.)

•An R 232 serial lead to connect the 5902 to your host computer (you can use our product 5529)

•A PC running our VenomIDE development environment.

Switches

Reset button

Pressing this button shorts the VM2’s Reset input to GND, which resets the VM2.

DIP switches

There is a group of four DIP switches and a single push-button switch fitted to the Application Board. These

control basic modes of operation on the VM2. They are connected to mode selection pins on the VM2’s JP1.

Most of the time you are only likely to use the Prog Mode switch; all other DIP switches should be OFF.

Switch

number

Label Description

4 Prog Mode ON: The VM2 starts up in Program Mode. This gives you access

to the Venom2 Command Line, so you can develop your

application program.

OFF: The VM2 starts up in Run Mode. It will run your Venom2

application program at every Power On, or Reset.

3Not used

2CAN(notUSB) This switch should be left in the OFF position unless you want to

use the CAN Bus. If you use the CAN Bus then you can't use

the VM2 as a U B Device.

1 Load O This switch puts the VM2 into Upload OS mode by shorting JP1

pin 4 to Vcc. This allows you to program the VM2 with a new

version of the Venom2 Language using VenomIDE. ee IDE

Help in VenomIDE for details. (You can also use the U B port to

load a new version of Venom – see instructions supplied with

each version).

Serial Port 1 and 2: RS232

erial ports 1 and 2 are fitted with level shifters to interface to R 232 signals, such as the COM ports on a

PC.

* - These pins are shorted together at each port.

There is a resistor position (R5) to pull erialPort 1's CT input high if you want the VM2 to be able to 'talk'

when there is no serial lead supplying a hardware handshake signal to the Application Board. However it is

usually better to overcome this problem in software by turning off hardware handshaking.

Configuration

erial port 1 is configured for you in the default startup procedure with something like the following line.

MAKE serial SerialPort(115200,1,1)

Serial port 4: RS485

erial port 4 is fitted with an R 485 driver in half-duplex mode. LK3 must be fitted to use this driver – it

connects the driver to RX4 on the VM2.

You can’t use hardware handshaking with this hardware configuration. Instead the RT signal for serial 4

(Channel $76) is used to control the data direction of the half-duplex interface. There is software support for

this mode.

Termination and Pull up/down

You may also need to fit LK4 if this board is at the end of a transmission line – to terminate the line correctly,

and also you may need to fit LK5 and LK6 if the line needs pulling into the passive state – this should be

done only once on the whole transmission line.

Ethernet

Links: Fit LK1

Resources used: channel $34, SPI Bus 2, SPI ADDR.

The board has a 10-Base-T Ethernet interface.

To use this interface you must fit link LK1. This uses channel $34 (also used as an ADC input) for Ethernet

interrupts.

There are network Link and Activity LEDs located on the socket itself.

Example code

ee the Venom2 Help File.

Pin out

tandard RJ45 Ethernet pin out.

There is an EEPROM memory device associated with the Ethernet interface. This has been factory

programmed with a unique MAC address that is essential for Ethernet communications. If you lose this

address by over-writing it then we may charge an administration fee to replace it with a new one.

Memor Card Socket

Links: NONE

Resources used: SPI Bus 2 (4 chans), SPI ADDR (2 chans), Channel $35.

6 7 8 9

The board has a socket for micro D or micro DHC cards. The memory card is intended to provide

permanent storage for the system, and should not be removed or fitted while the system is running unless

you make provision for this in your application code.

Note that, on this board, power to the memory card is controlled by Channel $35. This will need to be turned

on (active High) before the card can be used.

Warning: If you put a memory card in the socket and don't power it, it will interfere with the operation of the

Ethernet and USB Host interfaces because it they all share SPI Bus 2.

This 8-pin connector allows you to easily connect a 4 x 4 Matrix keypad. The eight pins should be connected

to the rows and columns of a matrix keypad.

The interface is implemented using a PCF8574A device.

To configure it as a Keypad use the following code:

MAKE kp Keypad (0, 248) ; 4x4 keypad

To configure it as Digital I/O you can use code like the following:

I2C Bus

Links: LK10. Link 1-2 for 3.3V or 2-3 for 5.0V I2C Bus voltage.

Resources used: I2CBus 1

I2C Bus number 1 is brought out to a 5-pin connector. The pin out is printed on the board. You can select the

Bus voltage using LK10. Be careful if you select 5V to make sure that every device you add to the Bus can

handle 5V.

Pull up resistors

I2C Buses require pull up resistors on the bus signals. We have fitted 4K7 resistors which should be

adequate for most purposes. If you need more pull up then you can fit resistors externally via the I2C

Connector.

D050_5922_VM2_App_Board3 Page 4 of 11

Configuration

This is done for you in the default startup procedure, so you don' t have to put it in your code:

MAKE et I2CBus

This command shows what's connected to the I2C Bus:

PRINT et ; pri t out a list of all devices co ected to the I2C Bus.

EEPROMs

Links: LK10. Link 1-2 for 3.3V or 2-3 for 5.0V I2C Bus voltage.

Resources used: I2CBus 1

There are two EEPROMs fitted to the board. They are both T24C02AM1 or equivalent, holding 256 bytes

each.

The first EEPROM is at address 162. This device is intended for storing non-volatile settings and parameters

for your application.

Configuration

MAKE s SafeData(1, 1, 162)

The second EEPROM (at address 164) is intended for dedicated use by the Ethernet system. You may also

use it for other purposes at your own risk – if you over-write the Ethernet MAC address then you may have to

pay a small administration fee for us to issue you with a new one.

USB Host: External USB Drives

Resources used: SPI Bus 2, SPI ADDR.

You can plug a U B Mass torage Device (such as a U B Flash Drive) into the U B Host socket. The VM2

can use this is either permanent or removable storage. ome memory sticks extend only a few millimetres

beyond the U B socket and so are more suitable for permanent storage.

Configuration

Make usbfs FileSystem(“USB”)

USB Device: VM2's Flash Filing S stem

Links: LK2: link. LK13 and LK14 – link pins 2-3 on both

Resources used: CAN(notUSB) switch set to OFF (enables USB device subs stem, disables CAN

Bus)

The USB Device and CAN Bus cannot be used at the same time.

The VM2 can be a U B Drive using the Type B ('Device') U B connector on this application board. This

allows you to read and write files in the VM2's Flash Filing ystem via U B, and also allows 'production

programming' of VM2s with their finished application code.

To enable the U B system you have to do these things:

1. et the CAN(notUSB) switch to OFF

2. Make link LK2

3. Links LK13 and 14: link pins 2 & 3 on both (Pin 1 is marked with a dot)

4. Connect the Application Board to a U B port on a PC or other Host.

When the VM2 is waiting at the Clear RAM prompt, or when U B access is enabled by your Venom code,

the U B Host (usually your PC) will see the VM2 as a Mass torage Device, allowing you to read and write

files in the VM2's flash memory.

Resources used: CAN(notUSB) switch set to ON (disables USB subs stem, enables CAN Bus)

The USB Device and CAN Bus cannot be used at the same time.

This board is fitted with a N65HVD230 CAN Bus driver device allowing the VM2's CAN module to interface

with CAN Bus systems.

CAN Waveform edge speed

This device uses a resistor to set the speed of edges on the CAN Bus waveforms. A 10K resistor is fitted,

but you can change this by clipping it off, or soldering another resistor in parallel. Note: this will void the

warranty.

CAN Bus Pull Up/Down and Termination

No CAN Bus pull up/down resistors are fitted to this board. They will need to be fitted externally if needed.

All transmission lines should be terminated with the correct impedance at each end of the line. This is made

easier on this board: LK 7 links in a termination resistor.

Only fit LK7 if the board is at one or other ends of the CAN Bus transmission line.

Alphanumeric LCD

Links: LK11 – link pins 1-2 for 3.3V LCDs or pins 2-3 for 5V LCDs. LK9 connects the back-light to

LCD_VCC.

Resources used: VM2 Channels $60-$65.

Note: VM2D can't drive an Alphanumeric LCD on this connector. You will either need a VM2 or VM2L, or you

can use a VM2D to drive the LCD via the I2C Bus.

There are two connectors on board for direct connection of Hitachi and Hitachi-compatible alphanumeric

LCD's. One is IL and the other a reverse DIL connector. The reverse DIL connector allows a transition

connector to be used on the back of LCD's with DIL connections.

Note that only one Alphanumeric LCD may be attached directly to the board, using either one or the other

connector. Additional Alphanumeric LCDs may be connected via PCF8574 ICs on the I2C Bus.

The LCD contrast voltage is set using the trim pot near the connectors. Most LCDs seem to operate with the

contrast voltage at or near 0V.

Graphic Displa s

Graphics Displays of various types may be connected to this board. ome display devices have their own

controller IC built in to the display, and others need an external controller.

The standard VM2 can generally drive displays with built-in display controllers that use indirect addressing.

For TFT displays that need an external controller you can use the VM2D, which has a TFT controller built in

to it.

Because just about every display connector interface is different we provide a standard connector on this

board, and will provide 'display adaptor' boards to connect each type of display we support. An adaptor board

carries these things:

•a connector for the display – often a fine-pitch FFC

•a back-light controller – allows on/off or dimming control of the back-light

•any extra voltage conversion devices as necessary

(If you design a custom application board for the VM2 you don't necessarily need to use this intermediate

display adaptor board, though it may be a useful guard against the relatively short production lifetimes of

many displays).

Audio output

Links: LK15 – link pins 1-2 for WAV sounds, or pins 2-3 for PWM sounds.

Resources used: VM2 Channels $14 or $18

This board carries a miniature loudspeaker and audio amplifier which you can use to generate beeps or play

WAV files. There is a volume control located near the loudspeaker.

There are two ways to generate audio output. Firstly you can use a PWM 'square wave' generated from one

of the VM2's timer outputs – using the PulseWidthOut object

Note: The speaker is too small to reproduce lower frequency sounds unaided, but the addition of a baffle of

some kind improves it considerably. Given the layout of the PCB, the simplest baffle you can make is a small

paper cone (25 to 50mm long), with some Blutak or similar to seal the narrow end to the speaker. The

bigger the baffle the better the low frequency sound will be.

Power Suppl

Caution! Suppl this board with 12VDC, unless ou know that attached subs stems (such as a

Displa Adaptor/Displa Backlight) are compatible with a different suppl voltage.

The board may be powered from a supply voltage range of less than 7.5V, up to 28 volts unregulated DC.

The current consumption depends on the input voltage, what is attached to the unit and whether the

processor is idle, but power consumption is usually around 1 Watt when the VM2 is idle and with no external

devices attached or subsystems configured, and perhaps 3 - 4 Watts with a typical configuration including

graphics display.

The board has two regulators - a switch mode regulator to generate a 5V supply, and then a linear regulator

to drop the 5V to 3.3V.

The main (switch mode) regulator is efficient over a wide input voltage range. There is a silicon diode before

the regulator to protect against reverse polarity on the supply input.

Power Connector

2 way pluggable screw terminal. Plug provided.

Breakout connectors

The two breakout connector positions are provided at each end of the VM2, labelled BRK1 and BRK2. These

are two sets of pads that exactly reproduce the connectors on the VM2, but on a 0.1” pitch. Note that the

VCC and GND pads are marked with + and – signs.

You should refer to the table of channel usage on page 9 and the circuit diagram of this board before using

the signals brought out here.
