AnalysIR submitting a set of IR signals for AC units

2023-07-22T15:56:00Z

AnalysIR:

Here you can find the instructions for submitting a set of signals to use for adding support in AnalysIR.

'''Steps for AIR Conditioner signal or similar:'''

# In AnalysIR record a '''full set of signals'''
# When recording, keep the remote about 1->2m away from the receiver and point directly at it.
# Include temperatures from 16degC to 30degC, in order. (or equivalent in degF)
# Include ON & OFF signals
# Make sure to record a description of the signal in the button column of History as you record each signal. (e.g. 16C)
# It is important to change only 1 setting between each signal recorded
# Include any additional signals you think might be useful.
# Do not 'clean' the signals before sending (unless requested to)
# Save the session via '''''Menu->File->Save Session''''' and email the file to us (or use the '''''Contact us''''' link on the wiki or website)
# We will examine your signals and add support for them into AnalysIR.
# We will then email an updated AnalysIR.ini file to you. Follow the Instructions here: [[AnalysIR updating config file]]

'''Steps for non-AC signals:'''

# Follow the steps above
# ...and just record a set of signal that represent a reasonable set of the signals available.
# Make sure to identify each signal in the button column of history.
# Do not 'clean' the signals before sending (unless requested to)
# Save & send the signals as above.

Finally, make sure to include the make & model # of the device being controlled, the remote control and the equipment used to record the signals. (For AnalysIR supplied tools include only the name)

AnalysIR updating config file

2021-09-20T20:27:21Z

AnalysIR:

Please follow these steps to update a new config file for the AnalysIR application

# Backup your existing file first by making a copy.(File Name: '''''AnalysIR.ini''''')
# Save the new file on your local file system
# In AnalysIR, open the correct directory via '''''Menu->File->Explore'''''. A file Manager window will open. It is important to do this to avoid saving the new file to the wrong directory.
# Copy the new file to the file manage window. You may be prompted to overwrite the old file (Which you should have previously made a copy of)
# Edit the file and change the '''''AIR_IPADDRESS''''' parameter (''near end of file'') to the IP address of your PC (''or 127.0.0.1 to disable the option'')
# Restart the AnalysIR application.

Your AnalysIR application has now been updated with the new config file and you are ready to use it.

== KontroLIR Release Notes ==
Details are available here: [[KontroLIR Release Notes]]

== Opening the Enclosure ==
The enclosure of KontroLIR is '''not designed for opening''' by users, other than for replacing batteries and uploading firmware via the battery compartment over SerialUSB.

When we open the enclosure we use a tool called a spudger and employ lots of TLC to avoid any damage to the hard plastic case.
If you decide to open the case beyond the battery compartment, you do so at your own risk.

Advanced users may decide to go ahead and open the enclosure, to gain access to the ICSP programming header or the I2C headers etc, or even just to have a look at the PCB.
This does not come under standard support, but we are happy to assist where possible (at your own risk, in case of damage to the enclosure)

Some things to note:
* The battery clips/terminals attached to the PCB can be delicate and must be carefully re-inserted into the retaining slots when re-assembling the case.
* If you do damage the plastic case, it should be possible to use glue or similar to restore it.
* Be extra careful not to scratch the edges as this can result in an uncomfortable feeling or touch when holding the remote.
* If you do, it should be possible to pare off or sand any jagged edges you created.
* If all of this doesn't make sense, then you have likely not tried this before with remote controls. They can be a challenge to open without the right tools.

''We expect to have a supply of quality spudgers stocked in our shop soon, if not already there.''

Configuring IRremote

2021-07-20T12:53:03Z

AnalysIR:

'''''[[KontroLIR - Arduino compatible IR remote control|> KontroLIR Home]]'''''

'''''See updated instructions for IRremote 2.5+ below....'''''

First, install the latest copy of the IRremote library (available via [https://github.com/z3t0/Arduino-IRremote/ GitHub])

Once you have the IRremote library installed in your Arduino IDE, you can proceed to the next steps.

Next, you should configure IRremote to work with KontroLIR, which uses pin 9 and Timer1 for IR Tx (vs default of pin 3 and Timer2).
Once installed the library folders can typically be found in C:\Users\'''[USER]'''\Documents\Arduino\libraries\IRremote\ where '''[USER]''' is your username on your PC.

[[File:IRremoteChanges.jpg]]

* '''Step 1:''' Edit the IRremote file "boarddefs.h around line 190 (ref '''point 4''' in image).
* '''Step 2:''' Comment out this line for using Timer2 (line #194 above)
* '''Step 3:''' Un-comment this line for using Timer1 (line #193 above)

When completed save the file and restart the Arduino IDE, to make sure the changes are registered.

Congratulations you are now ready to use IRremote with KontroLIR. The KontroLIR firmware makes use of and in some cases extends the IRremote library for sending IR signals.

'''UPDATE:''' For IRremote versions 2.5 & 2.6.
The file name is now '''''IRremoteBoardDefs.h''''' and the line number is now circa line 350. The file is now located in the '''''"Private"''''' sub-directory. You need to comment out the line with the '''"#error"''' statement and un-comment the line defining '''"IR_USE_TIMER1"'''

'''UPDATE:''' For IRremote version 2.8.x & later. (This supersedes the update note above)
The file name is now '''''IRremoteBoardDefs.h''''' and the line number is now circa line 195/196. The file is now located in the '''''"Private"''''' sub-directory. You need to comment out the line with the '''"IR_USE_TIMER2"''' statement and un-comment the line defining '''"IR_USE_TIMER1"'''. You may also notice that support for the Atmeg328PB has now been officially added from IRremote 2.8.0+. ''(IRremote version 2.7 is not supported, please use 2.6.1)''

'''DO NOT USE IRREMOTE 2.8.0 or 2.8.1''' as we have identified a significant bug in the library for these releases. We have provided a solution for the bug via GitHub. Only use 2.6.1

TMC2209 TinyG upgrade assembly instructions

2021-05-06T12:14:08Z

AnalysIR:

Here you can find the instruction for assembling your TMC2209 TinyG upgrade for LitePlacer, OpenPNP and other TinyG systems

The instructions assume you are installing headers for all 4 motors, which is recommended. However, if you only want to upgrade 2 or 3 stepper drivers, we suggest you install all the headers & connectors and only populate those positions you require.

'''Where to buy this upgrade?'''

You can purchase this PCB with optional components in our [https://www.tindie.com/products/analysir/tmc2209-tinyg-upgrade-for-liteplacer-openpnp/ Tindie Store] ''(Subject to availability)''

'''Prerequisites'''

* Soldering - You must possess the training, skills and equipment required for soldering.
* Components - If you have not purchased the components, then you should source your own based on the BoM below.
* TinyG V8 controller Board - obviously you will need a TinyG to complete the upgrade.
* Your own TMC2209s from BigTreeTech v1.2
* A DMM with continuity functionality would help to check connections
* We spent several hours over a weekend completing this upgrade for LitePlacer.

'''Bill of Materials'''

* 1 x PCB (100x80mm)
* 7 x 4P 5.0mm pitch Screw terminals
* 2 x 3P 5.0mmm pitch Screw Terminals
* 2 x Jumpers 2.54mm pitch
* 6 x Male 2.54mm pitch Headers (4 extra long)
* 12 x 2.54mm pitch Female Headers
* 2 x 0805 red LEDs ''(see Note 1 below)''
* 2 x 0805 resistors (for LEDs) 4K7 & 56K ''(see Note 1 below)''
* 4 x TH capacitors (KEMET, 100uF 35V 105degC)
* 2 x STD30NF06LT4 (STMicroelectronics N-Channel MOSFET) ''(see Note 1 below)''

You are free to use equivalents where appropriate. (e.g. soldering wires directly to the PCB instead of using the terminals, or SMD caps instead of the TH ones above)

''(Note 1: When components are ordered only the SMD parts above are pre-soldered. You will have to solder all of the Through-hole parts)''

[[File:PCB_top.jpg]]
PCB Top

'''Steps'''

# Take a photo of your existing wiring and label your wires going into the TinyG
# Remove the TinyG from your system, so you can work on it.
# At this point turn the POTs on the TinyG stepper drivers you will be upgrading to the lowest setting (refer to TinyG or LP docs). DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP!
# Note: all components are soldered to the top of the PCB (except the 4 long male headers)
# Solder the 4 female headers to the TinyG PCB (3x4P + 1x5P) and put the TinyG aside for now.
# Solder the 2 Mosfets (Pre-installed if components ordered) [Q1, Q2]
# Solder the 2 resistors (Pre-installed if components ordered) [R2 4K7, R1 56K]
# Solder the 2 LEDs (Pre-installed if components ordered) (0805 Red LED) [D1, D2]
# Solder the 7 Screw terminal Blocks (7x4P) [J19, J17a, J17, J15, J11, J7, J3]
# Solder the 2 Screw terminal Blocks (2x3P) [J12, J9]
# Solder the 2 short male headers (2x4P) [J18, J20]
# Solder the 8 female headers to accept the upgraded stepper drivers. (8x8P) [J1x2, J4x2, J5x2, J8x2]
# Solder the 4 Capacitors provided [C1, C2, C3, C4). Note we provide TH caps, but there is also a footprint for SMD caps. Make 100% certain that you identify the GND pad before soldering.
# Solder the 4 long male headers to the underside of the PCB. (3x4P + 1x5P) [J2, J6, J10 + J14]]
# Now insert the PCB into the TinyG board with care, to ensure a good fit. The PCB must be higher than any component on the TinyG.
# Insert the jumpers into J18 & J20. The position for LitePlacer and OpenPNP are marked on the PCB. Make sure not to jumper the 3V3 or GND pins. Make sure you are happy with the connections for Z-max & Z-min by checking the connections on J19 with your DMM.
# Before proceeding check all solder joints are good.

'''Gotchas'''

* Make sure all of the long headers are actually inserted into the female headers on the TinyG before testing or powering on. ''I made that mistake initially and was wondering why the Y axis was stuttering. :)''
* Ensure you have made a record of and taken good photos of your TinyG wiring before you take it apart, so that you can easily wire up the new PCB.

'''Wiring'''

* The general approach is to mirror what you have already in your existing installation. It is assumed that you have a standard wiring install. (If not adjust as appropriate or contact us directly for support). Make sure to use wires with the same or better AWG & if you are drawing additional current that your power supply can handle it.
* Motors J15/11/7/3 - The positions are the same as for the TinyG, so simply moving the 4 wires for each motor to the new PCB will suffice.
* Z-Axis J19 - Connect the Zmax from the switch to the ZmaxIN, Zmin from the switch to the ZminIN. Connect the ZmaxOUT to the Zmax on the TinyG & the ZminOUT to the Zmin on the TinyG. Insert the 2 jumpers into position depending on LitePlacer vs OpenPNP configuration. The positions are marked on the PCB silkscreen.
* Jumpers - Make sure you have inserted the 2 jumpers into the correct position for LitePlacer or OpenPNP.
* Solenoid J12 - Connect the 24V pin to the Solenoid V+ and the S- to the Solenoid V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the solenoid coming from the TinyG.
* Pump J9 - Connect the 24V pin to the Pump V+ and the S- to the Pump V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the pump coming from the TinyG.
* Power - Move your main 24V supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd 24V position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. Move your main GND supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd GND position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. There is also a spare connector for 24V/GND on J17a with 2 positions each - available for you own use.
* Spare 3V3/GND pins - If you are using these connections for any purpose, wire them up now. If not using them, we suggest applying some electrical tape (or similar) so that you don't accidentally connect the jumper.
* Before connecting any of the stepper drivers, power the system on and confirm the 2 LEDs are lighting. If not disconnect power immediately and troubleshoot.
* Before applying power test the correct operation of the Zmax/Zmin connections with your DMM.
* Before inserting any of the stepper drivers test the correct operation of the Solenoid and the pump using LitePlacer/OpenPNP
* Steppers - Insert the upgraded steppers one at a time (with heat-sink) and test them out individually by jogging using LitePlacer or OpenPNP. Make sure the power is off each time before inserting the new drivers. Do not Home the machine until you have tested each motor individually.

'''Differences for OpenPNP'''

* The only difference is the position of the jumpers on J18 & J20.

'''Differences for 'Other TinyG Systems' '''
* The Zmax/Zmin features may not be required, as they apply for LitePlacer/OpenPNP only. However, feel free to use them for other purposes.
* The Solenoid & Pump switched may not be required. However, feel free to use them for other purposes.
* Motors - you may not need to upgrade all 4 motors.

TMC2209 TinyG upgrade assembly instructions

2021-05-06T12:12:53Z

AnalysIR:

Here you can find the instruction for assembling your TMC2209 TinyG upgrade for LitePlacer, OpenPNP and other TinyG systems

The instructions assume you are installing headers for all 4 motors, which is recommended. However, if you only want to upgrade 2 or 3 stepper drivers, we suggest you install all the headers & connectors and only populate those positions you require.

'''Where to buy this upgrade?'''

You can purchase this PCB with optional components in our [https://www.tindie.com/products/analysir/tmc2209-tinyg-upgrade-for-liteplacer-openpnp/ Tindie Store] ''(Subject to availability)''

'''Prerequisites'''

* Soldering - You must possess the training, skills and equipment required for soldering.
* Components - If you have not purchased the components, then you should source your own based on the BoM below.
* TinyG V8 controller Board - obviously you will need a TinyG to complete the upgrade.
* Your own TMC2209s from BigTreeTech v1.2
* A DMM with continuity functionality would help to check connections
* We spent several hours over a weekend completing this upgrade for LitePlacer.

'''Bill of Materials'''

* 1 x PCB (100x80mm)
* 7 x 4P 5.0mm pitch Screw terminals
* 2 x 3P 5.0mmm pitch Screw Terminals
* 2 x Jumpers 2.54mm pitch
* 6 x Male 2.54mm pitch Headers (4 extra long)
* 12 x 2.54mm pitch Female Headers
* 2 x 0805 red LEDs ''(see Note 1 below)''
* 2 x 0805 resistors (for LEDs) 4K7 & 56K ''(see Note 1 below)''
* 4 x TH capacitors (KEMET, 100uF 35V 105degC)
* 2 x STD30NF06LT4 (STMicroelectronics N-Channel MOSFET) ''(see Note 1 below)''

You are free to use equivalents where appropriate. (e.g. soldering wires directly to the PCB instead of using the terminals, or SMD caps instead of the TH ones above)

''(Note 1: When components are ordered only the SMD parts above are pre-soldered. You will have to solder all of the Through-hole parts)''

'''Steps'''

# Take a photo of your existing wiring and label your wires going into the TinyG
# Remove the TinyG from your system, so you can work on it.
# At this point turn the POTs on the TinyG stepper drivers you will be upgrading to the lowest setting (refer to TinyG or LP docs). DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP!
# Note: all components are soldered to the top of the PCB (except the 4 long male headers)
# Solder the 4 female headers to the TinyG PCB (3x4P + 1x5P) and put the TinyG aside for now.
# Solder the 2 Mosfets (Pre-installed if components ordered) [Q1, Q2]
# Solder the 2 resistors (Pre-installed if components ordered) [R2 4K7, R1 56K]
# Solder the 2 LEDs (Pre-installed if components ordered) (0805 Red LED) [D1, D2]
# Solder the 7 Screw terminal Blocks (7x4P) [J19, J17a, J17, J15, J11, J7, J3]
# Solder the 2 Screw terminal Blocks (2x3P) [J12, J9]
# Solder the 2 short male headers (2x4P) [J18, J20]
# Solder the 8 female headers to accept the upgraded stepper drivers. (8x8P) [J1x2, J4x2, J5x2, J8x2]
# Solder the 4 Capacitors provided [C1, C2, C3, C4). Note we provide TH caps, but there is also a footprint for SMD caps. Make 100% certain that you identify the GND pad before soldering.
# Solder the 4 long male headers to the underside of the PCB. (3x4P + 1x5P) [J2, J6, J10 + J14]]
# Now insert the PCB into the TinyG board with care, to ensure a good fit. The PCB must be higher than any component on the TinyG.
# Insert the jumpers into J18 & J20. The position for LitePlacer and OpenPNP are marked on the PCB. Make sure not to jumper the 3V3 or GND pins. Make sure you are happy with the connections for Z-max & Z-min by checking the connections on J19 with your DMM.
# Before proceeding check all solder joints are good.

'''Gotchas'''

* Make sure all of the long headers are actually inserted into the female headers on the TinyG before testing or powering on. ''I made that mistake initially and was wondering why the Y axis was stuttering. :)''
* Ensure you have recorded the TinyG wiring before you take it apart, so that you can easily wire up the new PCB.

'''Wiring'''

* The general approach is to mirror what you have already in your existing installation. It is assumed that you have a standard wiring install. (If not adjust as appropriate or contact us directly for support). Make sure to use wires with the same or better AWG & if you are drawing additional current that your power supply can handle it.
* Motors J15/11/7/3 - The positions are the same as for the TinyG, so simply moving the 4 wires for each motor to the new PCB will suffice.
* Z-Axis J19 - Connect the Zmax from the switch to the ZmaxIN, Zmin from the switch to the ZminIN. Connect the ZmaxOUT to the Zmax on the TinyG & the ZminOUT to the Zmin on the TinyG. Insert the 2 jumpers into position depending on LitePlacer vs OpenPNP configuration. The positions are marked on the PCB silkscreen.
* Jumpers - Make sure you have inserted the 2 jumpers into the correct position for LitePlacer or OpenPNP.
* Solenoid J12 - Connect the 24V pin to the Solenoid V+ and the S- to the Solenoid V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the solenoid coming from the TinyG.
* Pump J9 - Connect the 24V pin to the Pump V+ and the S- to the Pump V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the pump coming from the TinyG.
* Power - Move your main 24V supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd 24V position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. Move your main GND supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd GND position back to the original 24V on the TinyG.

Here you can find the instruction for assembling your TMC2209 TinyG upgrade for LitePlacer, OpenPNP and other TinyG systems

The instructions assume you are installing headers for all 4 motors, which is recommended. However, if you only want to upgrade 2 or 3 stepper drivers, we suggest you install all the headers & connectors and only populate those positions you require.

'''Where to buy this upgrade?'''

You can purchase this PCB with optional components in our [https://www.tindie.com/products/analysir/tmc2209-tinyg-upgrade-for-liteplacer-openpnp/ Tindie Store] ''(Subject to availability)''

'''Prerequisites'''

* Soldering - You must possess the training, skills and equipment required for soldering.
* Components - If you have not purchased the components, then you should source your own based on the BoM below.
* TinyG V8 controller Board - obviously you will need a TinyG to complete the upgrade.
* Your own TMC2209s from BigTreeTech v1.2
* A DMM with continuity functionality would help to check connections
* We spent several hours over a weekend completing this upgrade for LitePlacer.

'''Bill of Materials'''

* 1 x PCB (100x80mm)
* 7 x 4P 5.0mm pitch Screw terminals
* 2 x 3P 5.0mmm pitch Screw Terminals
* 2 x Jumpers 2.54mm pitch
* 6 x Male 2.54mm pitch Headers (4 extra long)
* 12 x 2.54mm pitch Female Headers
* 2 x 0805 red LEDs
* 2 x 0805 resistors (for LEDs) 4K7 & 56K
* 4 x TH capacitors (KEMET, 100uF 35V 105degC)
* 2 x STD30NF06LT4 (STMicroelectronics N-Channel MOSFET)

You are free to use equivalents where appropriate. (e.g. soldering wires directly to the PCB instead of using the terminals, or SMD caps instead of the TH ones above)

'''Steps'''

# Take a photo of your existing wiring and label your wires going into the TinyG
# Remove the TinyG from your system, so you can work on it.
# At this point turn the POTs on the TinyG stepper drivers you will be upgrading to the lowest setting (refer to TinyG or LP docs). DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP!
# Note: all components are soldered to the top of the PCB (except the 4 long male headers)
# Solder the 4 female headers to the TinyG PCB (3x4P + 1x5P) and put the TinyG aside for now.
# Solder the 2 Mosfets (Pre-installed if components ordered) [Q1, Q2]
# Solder the 2 resistors (Pre-installed if components ordered) [R2 4K7, R1 56K]
# Solder the 2 LEDs (Pre-installed if components ordered) (0805 Red LED) [D1, D2]
# Solder the 7 Screw terminal Blocks (7x4P) [J19, J17a, J17, J15, J11, J7, J3]
# Solder the 2 Screw terminal Blocks (2x3P) [J12, J9]
# Solder the 2 short male headers (2x4P) [J18, J20]
# Solder the 8 female headers to accept the upgraded stepper drivers. (8x8P) [J1x2, J4x2, J5x2, J8x2]
# Solder the 4 Capacitors provided [C1, C2, C3, C4). Note we provide TH caps, but there is also a footprint for SMD caps. Make 100% certain that you identify the GND pad before soldering.
# Solder the 4 long male headers to the underside of the PCB. (3x4P + 1x5P) [J2, J6, J10 + J14]]
# Now insert the PCB into the TinyG board with care, to ensure a good fit. The PCB must be higher than any component on the TinyG.
# Insert the jumpers into J18 & J20. The position for LitePlacer and OpenPNP are marked on the PCB. Make sure not to jumper the 3V3 or GND pins. Make sure you are happy with the connections for Z-max & Z-min by checking the connections on J19 with your DMM.
# Before proceeding check all solder joints are good.

'''Wiring'''

* The general approach is to mirror what you have already in your existing installation. It is assumed that you have a standard wiring install. (If not adjust as appropriate or contact us directly for support). Make sure to use wires with the same or better AWG & if you are drawing additional current that your power supply can handle it.
* Motors J15/11/7/3 - The positions are the same as for the TinyG, so simply moving the 4 wires for each motor to the new PCB will suffice.
* Z-Axis J19 - Connect the Zmax from the switch to the ZmaxIN, Zmin from the switch to the ZminIN. Connect the ZmaxOUT to the Zmax on the TinyG & the ZminOUT to the Zmin on the TinyG. Insert the 2 jumpers into position depending on LitePlacer vs OpenPNP configuration. The positions are marked on the PCB silkscreen.
* Jumpers - Make sure you have inserted the 2 jumpers into the correct position for LitePlacer or OpenPNP.
* Solenoid J12 - Connect the 24V pin to the Solenoid V+ and the S- to the Solenoid V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the solenoid coming from the TinyG.
* Pump J9 - Connect the 24V pin to the Pump V+ and the S- to the Pump V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the pump coming from the TinyG.
* Power - Move your main 24V supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd 24V position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. Move your main GND supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd GND position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. There is also a spare connector for 24V/GND on J17a with 2 positions each - available for you own use.
* Spare 3V3/GND pins - If you are using these connections for any purpose, wire them up now. If not using them, we suggest applying some electrical tape (or similar) so that you don't accidentally connect the jumper.
* Before connecting any of the stepper drivers, power the system on and confirm the 2 LEDs are lighting. If not disconnect power immediately and troubleshoot.
* Before applying power test the correct operation of the Zmax/Zmin connections with your DMM.
* Before inserting any of the stepper drivers test the correct operation of the Solenoid and the pump using LitePlacer/OpenPNP
* Steppers - Insert the upgraded steppers one at a time (with heat-sink) and test them out individually by jogging using LitePlacer or OpenPNP. Make sure the power is off each time before inserting the new drivers. Do not Home the machine until you have tested each motor individually.

'''Differences for OpenPNP'''

* The only difference is the position of the jumpers on J18 & J20.

'''Differences for 'Other TinyG Systems' '''
* The Zmax/Zmin features may not be required, as they apply for LitePlacer/OpenPNP only. However, feel free to use them for other purposes.
* The Solenoid & Pump switched may not be required. However, feel free to use them for other purposes.
* Motors - you may not need to upgrade all 4 motors.

# Insert the jumpers into J18 & J20. The position for LitePlacer and OpenPNP are marked on the PCB. Make sure not to jumper the 3V3 or GND pins. Make sure you are happy with the connections for Z-max & Z-min by checking the connections on J19 with your DMM.
# Before proceeding check all solder joints are good.

'''Wiring'''

* The general approach is to mirror what you have already in your existing installation. It is assumed that you have a standard wiring install. (If not adjust as appropriate or contact us directly for support). Make sure to use wires with the same or better AWG & if you are drawing additional current that your power supply can handle it.
* Motors J15/11/7/3 - The positions are the same as for the TinyG, so simply moving the 4 wires for each motor to the new PCB will suffice.
* Z-Axis J19 - Connect the Zmax from the switch to the ZmaxIN, Zmin from the switch to the ZminIN. Connect the ZmaxOUT to the Zmax on the TinyG & the ZminOUT to the Zmin on the TinyG. Insert the 2 jumpers into position depending on LitePlacer vs OpenPNP configuration. The positions are marked on the PCB silkscreen.
* Jumpers - Make sure you have inserted the 2 jumpers into the correct position for LitePlacer or OpenPNP.
* Solenoid J12 - Connect the 24V pin to the Solenoid V+ and the S- to the Solenoid V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the solenoid coming from the TinyG.
* Pump J9 - Connect the 24V pin to the Pump V+ and the S- to the Pump V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the pump coming from the TinyG.
* Power - Move your main 24V supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd 24V position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. Move your main GND supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd GND position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. There is also a spare connector for 24V/GND on J17a with 2 positions each - available for you own use.
* Spare 3V3/GND pins - If you are using these connections for any purpose, wire them up now. If not using them, we suggest applying some electrical tape (or similar) so that you don't accidentally connect the jumper.
* Before connecting any of the stepper drivers, power the system on and confirm the 2 LEDs are lighting. If not disconnect power immediately and troubleshoot.
* Before applying power test the correct operation of the Zmax/Zmin connections with your DMM.
* Before inserting any of the stepper drivers test the correct operation of the Solenoid and the pump using LitePlacer/OpenPNP
* Steppers - Insert the upgraded steppers one at a time (with heat-sink) and test them out individually by jogging using LitePlacer or OpenPNP. Make sure the power is off each time before inserting the new drivers. Do not Home the machine until you have tested each motor individually.

'''Differences for OpenPNP'''

* The only difference is the position of the jumpers on J18 & J20.

'''Differences for 'Other TinyG Systems' '''
* The Zmax/Zmin features may not be required, as they apply for LitePlacer/OpenPNP only. However, feel free to use them for other purposes.
* The Solenoid & Pump switched may not be required. However, feel free to use them for other purposes.
* Motors - you may not need to upgrade all 4 motors.

TMC2209 TinyG upgrade assembly instructions

WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP
WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP

Here you can find the instruction for assembling your TMC2209 TinyG upgrade for LitePlacer, OpenPNP and other TinyG systems

The instructions assume you are installing headers for all 4 motors, which is recommended. However, if you only want to upgrade 2 or 3 stepper drivers, we suggest you install all the headers & connectors and only populate those positions you require.

'''Where to buy this upgrade?'''

You can purchase this PCB with optional components in our [https://www.tindie.com/products/analysir/tmc2209-tinyg-upgrade-for-liteplacer-openpnp/ Tindie Store] ''(Subject to availability)''

'''Prerequisites'''

* Soldering - You must possess the training, skills and equipment required for soldering.
* Components - If you have not purchased the components, then you should source your own based on the BoM below.
* TinyG V8 controller Board - obviously you will need a TinyG to complete the upgrade.
* Your own TMC2209s from BigTreeTech v1.2
* A DMM with continuity functionality would help to check connections
* We spent several hours over a weekend completing this upgrade for LitePlacer.

'''Bill of Materials'''

TMC2209 TinyG upgrade assembly instructions

WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP
WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP

Here you can find the instruction for assembling your TMC2209 TinyG upgrade for LitePlacer, OpenPNP and other TinyG systems

The instructions assume you are installing headers for all 4 motors, which is recommended. However, if you only want to upgrade 2 or 3 stepper drivers, we suggest you install all the headers & connectors and only populate those positions you require.

'''Where to buy this upgrade?'''

You can purchase this PCB with optional components in our [https://www.tindie.com/products/analysir/tmc2209-tinyg-upgrade-for-liteplacer-openpnp/ Tindie Store] ''(Subject to availability)''

'''Prerequisites'''

* Soldering - You must possess the training, skills and equipment required for soldering.
* Components - If you have not purchased the components, then you should source your own based on the BoM below.
* TinyG V8 controller Board - obviously you will need a TinyG to complete the upgrade.
* Your own TMC2209s from BigTreeTech v1.2
* A DMM with continuity functionality would help to check connections
* We spent several hours over a weekend completing this upgrade for LitePlacer.

'''Bill of Materials'''

* 1 x PCB (100x80mm)
* 7 x 4P 5.0mm pitch Screw terminals
* 2 x 3P 5.0mmm pitch Screw Terminals
* 2 x Jumpers 2.54mm pitch
* 6 x Male 2.54mm pitch Headers (4 extra long)
* 12 x 2.54mm pitch Female Headers
* 2 x 0805 red LEDs
* 2 x 0805 resistors (for LEDs) 4K7 & 56K
* 4 x TH capacitors (KEMET, 100uF 35V 105degC)
* 2 x STD30NF06LT4 (STMicroelectronics N-Channel MOSFET)

You are free to use equivalents where appropriate. (e.g. soldering wires directly to the PCB instead of using the terminals, or SMD caps instead of the TH ones above)

'''Steps'''

# Take a photo of your existing wiring and label your wires going into the TinyG
# Remove the TinyG from your system, so you can work on it.
# At this point turn the POTs on the TinyG stepper drivers you will be upgrading to the lowest setting (refer to TinyG or LP docs). DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP!
# Note: all components are soldered to the top of the PCB (except the 4 long male headers)
# Solder the 4 female headers to the TinyG PCB (3x4P + 1x5P) and put the TinyG aside for now.
# Solder the 2 Mosfets (Pre-installed if components ordered) [Q1, Q2]
# Solder the 2 resistors (Pre-installed if components ordered) [R2 4K7, R1 56K]
# Solder the 2 LEDs (Pre-installed if components ordered) (0805 Red LED) [D1, D2]
# Solder the 7 Screw terminal Blocks (7x4P) [J19, J17a, J17, J15, J11, J7, J3]
# Solder the 2 Screw terminal Blocks (2x3P) [J12, J9]
# Solder the 2 short male headers (2x4P) [J18, J20]
# Solder the 8 female headers to accept the upgraded stepper drivers. (8x8P) [J1x2, J4x2, J5x2, J8x2]
# Solder the 4 Capacitors provided [C1, C2, C3, C4). Note we provide TH caps, but there is also a footprint for SMD caps. Make 100% certain that you identify the GND pad before soldering.
# Solder the 4 long male headers to the underside of the PCB. (3x4P + 1x5P) [J2, J6, J10 + J14]]
# Now insert the PCB into the TinyG board with care, to ensure a good fit. The PCB must be higher than any component on the TinyG.
# Insert the jumpers into J18 & J20. The position for LitePlacer and OpenPNP are marked on the PCB. Make sure not to jumper the 3V3 or GND pins. Make sure you are happy with the connections for Z-max & Z-min by checking the connections on J19 with your DMM.
# Before proceeding check all solder joints are good.

'''Wiring'''

* The general approach is to mirror what you have already in your existing installation. It is assumed that you have a standard wiring install. (If not adjust as appropriate or contact us directly for support). Make sure to use wires with the same or better AWG & if you are drawing additional current that your power supply can handle it.
* Motors J15/11/7/3 - The positions are the same as for the TinyG, so simply moving the 4 wires for each motor to the new PCB will suffice.
* Z-Axis J19 - Connect the Zmax from the switch to the ZmaxIN, Zmin from the switch to the ZminIN. Connect the ZmaxOUT to the Zmax on the TinyG & the ZminOUT to the Zmin on the TinyG. Insert the 2 jumpers into position depending on LitePlacer vs OpenPNP configuration. The positions are marked on the PCB silkscreen.
* Jumpers - Make sure you have inserted the 2 jumpers into the correct position for LitePlacer or OpenPNP.
* Solenoid J12 - Connect the 24V pin to the Solenoid V+ and the S- to the Solenoid V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the solenoid coming from the TinyG.
* Pump J9 - Connect the 24V pin to the Pump V+ and the S- to the Pump V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the pump coming from the TinyG.
* Power - Move your main 24V supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd 24V position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. Move your main GND supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd GND position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. There is also a spare connector for 24V/GND on J17a with 2 positions each - available for you own use.
* Spare 3V3/GND pins - If you are using these connections for any purpose, wire them up now. If not using them, we suggest applying some electrical tape (or similar) so that you don't accidentally connect the jumper.
* Before connecting any of the stepper drivers, power the system on and confirm the 2 LEDs are lighting. If not disconnect power immediately and troubleshoot.
* Before applying power test the correct operation of the Zmax/Zmin connections with your DMM.
* Before inserting any of the stepper drivers test the correct operation of the Solenoid and the pump using LitePlacer/OpenPNP
* Steppers - Insert the upgraded steppers one at a time (with heat-sink) and test them out individually by jogging using LitePlacer or OpenPNP. Make sure the power is off each time before inserting the new drivers. Do not Home the machine until you have tested each motor individually.

'''Differences for OpenPNP'''

* The only difference is the position of the jumpers on J18 & J20.

'''Differences for 'Other TinyG Systems' '''
* The Zmax/Zmin features may not be required, as they apply for LitePlacer/OpenPNP only. However, feel free to use them for other purposes.
* The Solenoid & Pump switched may not be required. However, feel free to use them for other purposes.
* Motors - you may not need ot upgrade all 4 motors.

The instructions assume you are installing headers for all 4 motors, which is recommended. However, if you only want to upgrade 2 or 3 stepper drivers, we suggest you install all the headers & connectors and only populate those positions you require.

'''Where to buy this upgrade?'''

You can purchase this PCB with optional components in our [https://www.tindie.com/products/analysir/tmc2209-tinyg-upgrade-for-liteplacer-openpnp/ Tindie Store] ''(Subject to availability)''

'''Prerequisites'''

* Soldering - You must possess the training, skills and equipment required for soldering.
* Components - If you have not purchased the components, then you should source your own based on the BoM below.
* TinyG V8 controller Board - obviously you will need a TinyG to complete the upgrade.
* Your own TMC2209s from BigTreeTech v1.2
* A DMM with continuity functionality would help to check connections
* We spent several hours over a weekend completing this upgrade for LitePlacer.

'''Bill of Materials'''

* 1 x PCB (100x80mm)
* 7 x 4P 5.0mm pitch Screw terminals
* 2 x 3P 5.0mmm pitch Screw Terminals
* 2 x Jumpers 2.54mm pitch
* 6 x Male 2.54mm pitch Headers (4 extra long)
* 12 x 2.54mm pitch Female Headers
* 2 x 0805 red LEDs
* 2 x 0805 resistors (for LEDs) 4K7 & 56K
* 4 x TH capacitors (KEMET, 100uF 35V 105degC)
* 2 x STD30NF06LT4 (STMicroelectronics N-Channel MOSFET)

You are free to use equivalents where appropriate. (e.g. soldering wires directly to the PCB instead of using the terminals, or SMD caps instead of the TH ones above)

'''Steps'''

# Take a photo of your existing wiring and label your wires going into the TinyG
# Remove the TinyG from your system, so you can work on it.
# At this point turn the POTs on the TinyG stepper drivers you will be upgrading to the lowest setting (refer to TinyG or LP docs). DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP!
# Note: all components are soldered to the top of the PCB (except the 4 long male headers)
# Solder the 4 female headers to the TinyG PCB (3x4P + 1x5P) and put the TinyG aside for now.
# Solder the 2 Mosfets (Pre-installed if components ordered) [Q1, Q2]
# Solder the 2 resistors (Pre-installed if components ordered) [R2 4K7, R1 56K]
# Solder the 2 LEDs (Pre-installed if components ordered) (0805 Red LED) [D1, D2]
# Solder the 7 Screw terminal Blocks (7x4P) [J19, J17a, J17, J15, J11, J7, J3]
# Solder the 2 Screw terminal Blocks (2x3P) [J12, J9]
# Solder the 2 short male headers (2x4P) [J18, J20]
# Solder the 8 female headers to accept the upgraded stepper drivers. (8x8P) [J1x2, J4x2, J5x2, J8x2]
# Solder the 4 Capacitors provided [C1, C2, C3, C4). Note we provide TH caps, but there is also a footprint for SMD caps. Make 100% certain that you identify the GND pad before soldering.
# Solder the 4 long male headers to the underside of the PCB. (3x4P + 1x5P) [J2, J6, J10 + J14]]
# Now insert the PCB into the TinyG board with care, to ensure a good fit. The PCB must be higher than any component on the TinyG.
# Insert the jumpers into J18 & J20. The position for LitePlacer and OpenPNP are marked on the PCB. Make sure not to jumper the 3V3 or GND pins. Make sure you are happy with the connections for Z-max & Z-min by checking the connections on J19 with your DMM.
# Before proceeding check all solder joints are good.

'''Wiring'''

* The general approach is to mirror what you have already in your existing installation. It is assumed that you have a standard wiring install. (If not adjust as appropriate or contact us directly for support)
* Motors J15/11/7/3 - The positions are the same as for the TinyG, so simply moving the 4 wires for each motor to the new PCB will suffice.
* Z-Axis J19 - Connect the Zmax from the switch to the ZmaxIN, Zmin from the switch to the ZminIN. Connect the ZmaxOUT to the Zmax on the TinyG & the ZminOUT to the Zmin on the TinyG. Insert he 2 jumpers into position depending on LitePlacer vs OpenPNP configuration. The positions are marked on the PCB silkscreen.
* Jumpers - Make sure you have inserted the 2 jumpers into the correct position for LitePlacer or OpenPNP.
* Solenoid J12 - Connect the 24V pin to the Solenoid V+ and the S- to the V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the solenoid coming from the TinyG.
* Pump J9 - Connect the 24V pin to the Pump V+ and the S- to the V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the pump coming from the TinyG.
* Power - Move your main 24V supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd 24V position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. Move your main GND supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd GND position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. There is also a spare connector for 24V/GND on J17a with 2 positions each.
* Spare 3V3/GND pins - If you are using these connections for any purpose, wire them up now. If not using them, we suggest applying some electrical tape (or similar) so that you don't accidentally connect the jumper.
* Before connecting any of the stepper drivers, power the system on and confirm the 2 LEDs are lighting. If not disconnect power immediately and troubleshoot.
* Before applying power test the correct operation of the Zmax/Zmin connections with your DMM.
* Before inserting any of the stepper drivers test the correct operation of the Solenoid and the pump using LitePlacer/OpenPNP
*Steppers - Insert the upgraded steppers one at a time and test them out individually using LitePlacer or OpenPNP. Make sure the power is off each time before inserting the new drivers.

'''Differences for OpenPNP'''

- The only difference is the position of the jumpers on

# Solder the 4 long male headers to the underside of the PCB. (3x4P + 1x5P) [J2, J6, J10 + J14]]
# Now insert the PCB into the TinyG board with care, to ensure a good fit. The PCB must be higher than any component on the TinyG.
# Insert he jumpers into J18 & J20. The position for LitePlacer and OpenPNP are marked on the PCB. Make sure not to jumper the 3V3 or GND pins. Make sure you are happy with the connections for Z-max & Z-min by checking the connections on J19 with you DMM.
# Before proceeding check all solder joints are good/acceptable.

'''Wiring'''

* The general approach is to mirror what you have already in your existing installation. It is assumed that you have a standard wiring install. (If not adjust as appropriate or contact us directly for support)
* Motors J15/11/7/3 - The positions are the same as for the TinyG, so simply moving the 4 wires for each motor to the new PCB will suffice.
* Z-Axis J19 - Connect the Zmax from the switch to the ZmaxIN, Zmin from the switch to the ZminIN. Connect the ZmaxOUT to the Zmax on the TinyG & the ZminOUT to the Zmin on the TinyG. Insert he 2 jumpers into position depending on LitePlacer vs OpenPNP configuration. The positions are marked on the PCB silkscreen.
* Jumpers - Make sure you have inserted the 2 jumpers into the correct position for LitePlacer or OpenPNP.
* Solenoid J12 - Connect the 24V pin to the Solenoid V+ and the S- to the V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the solenoid coming from the TinyG.
* Pump J9 - Connect the 24V pin to the Pump V+ and the S- to the V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the pump coming from the TinyG.
* Power - Move your main 24V supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd 24V position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. Move your main GND supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd GND position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. There is also a spare connector for 24V/GND on J17a with 2 positions each.
* Spare 3V3/GND pins - If you are using these connections for any purpose, wire them up now. If not using them, we suggest applying some electrical tape (or similar) so that you don't accidentally connect the jumper.
* Before connecting any of the stepper drivers, power the system on and confirm the 2 LEDs are lighting. If not disconnect power immediately and troubleshoot.
* Before applying power test the correct operation of the Zmax/Zmin connections with your DMM.
* Before inserting any of the stepper drivers test the correct operation of the Solenoid and the pump using LitePlacer/OpenPNP
*Steppers - Insert the upgraded steppers one at a time and test them out individually using LitePlacer or OpenPNP. Make sure the power is off each time before inserting the new drivers.

TMC2209 TinyG upgrade assembly instructions

WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP
WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP

Here you can find the instruction for assembling your TMC2209 TinyG upgrade for LitePlacer, OpenPNP and other TinyG systems

The instructions assume you are installing headers for all 4 motors, which is recommended. However, if you only want to upgrade 2 or 3 stepper drivers, we suggest you install all the headers & connectors and only populate those positions you require.

'''Where to buy this upgrade?'''

You can purchase this PCB with optional components in our [https://www.tindie.com/products/analysir/tmc2209-tinyg-upgrade-for-liteplacer-openpnp/ Tindie Store] ''(Subject to availability)''

'''Prerequisites'''

* Soldering - You must possess the training, skills and equipment required for soldering.
* Components - If you have not purchased the components, then you should source your own based on the BoM below.
* TinyG V8 controller Board - obviously you will need a TinyG to complete the upgrade.
* Your own TMC2209s from BigTreeTech v1.2
* We spent several hours over a weekend completing this upgrade for LitePlacer.

'''Bill of Materials'''

* 1 x PCB (100x80mm)
* 7 x 4P 5.0mm pitch Screw terminals
* 2 x 3P 5.0mmm pitch Screw Terminals
* 2 x Jumpers 2.54mm pitch
* 6 x Male 2.54mm pitch Headers (4 extra long)
* 12 x 2.54mm pitch Female Headers
* 2 x 0805 red LEDs
* 2 x 0805 resistors (for LEDs) 4K7 & 56K
* 4 x TH capacitors (KEMET, 100uF 35V 105degC)
* 2 x STD30NF06LT4 (STMicroelectronics N-Channel MOSFET)

You are free to use equivalents where appropriate. (e.g. soldering wires directly to the PCB instead of using the terminals, or SMD caps instead of the TH ones above)

'''Steps'''

# Take a photo of your existing wiring and label your wired goinf to the TinyG
# Remove the TinyG from your system, so you can work on it.
# At this point turn the POTs on the stepper drivers you will be upgrading to the lowest setting (refer to TinyG or LP docs). DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP!
# Note: all components are soldered to the top of the PCB (except the 4 long male headers)
# Solder the 4 female headers to the TinyG PCB (3x4P + 1x5P) and put the TinyG aside for now.

TMC2209 TinyG upgrade assembly instructions

WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP
WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP WIP

Here you can find the instruction for assembling your TMC2209 TinyG upgrade for LitePlacer, OpenPNP and other TinyG systems

The instructions assume you are installing headers for all 4 motors, which is recommended. However, if you only want to upgrade 2 or 3 stepper drivers, we suggest you install all the headers & connectors and only populate those positions you required.

'''Where to buy this upgrade?'''

You can purchase this PCB with optional components in our [https://www.tindie.com/products/analysir/tmc2209-tinyg-upgrade-for-liteplacer-openpnp/ Tindie Store] ''(Subject to availability)''

'''Prerequisites'''

*Soldering - You must possess the training, skills and equipment required for soldering.
*Components - If you have not purchased the components, they you should source your own based on the BoM below.
*TinyG V8 controller Board - obviously you will need a TinyG to complete the upgrade.
*Your own TMC2209s from BigTreeTech v1.2

'''Bill of Materials'''
* 1 x PCB (100x80mm)
* 7 x 4P 5.0mm pitch Screw terminals
* 2 x 3P 5.0mmm pitch Screw Terminals
* 2 x Jumpers 2.54mm pitch
* 6 x Male 2.54mm pitch Headers (4 extra long)
* 12 x 2.54mm pitch Female Headers
* 2 x 0805 red LEDs
* 2 x 0805 resistors (for LEDs) 4K7 & 56K
* 4 x TH capacitors (KEMET, 100uF 35V 105degC)
* 2 x STD30NF06LT4 (STMicroelectronics N-Channel MOSFET)

You are free to use equivalents where appropriate. (e.g. soldering wires directly to the PCB instead of using the terminals, or SMD caps instead of the TH ones above)

'''Steps'''
# Take a photo of your existing wiring and label your wired goinf to the TinyG
# Remove the TinyG from your system, so you can work on it.
# At this point turn the POTs on the stepper drivers you will be upgrading to the lowest setting (refer to TinyG or LP docs). DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP!
# Note: all components are soldered to the top of the PCB (except the 4 long male headers)
# Solder the 4 female headers to the TinyG PCB (3x4P + 1x5P) and put the TinyG aside for now.
# Solder the 2 Mosfets (Pre-installed if components ordered) [Q1, Q2]
# Solder the 2 resistors (Pre-installed if components ordered) [R2 4K7, R1 56K]
# Solder the 2 LEDs (Pre-installed if components ordered) (0805 Red LED) [D1, D2]
# Solder the 7 Screw terminal Blocks (7x4P) [J19, J17a, J17, J15, J11, J7, J3]
# Solder the 2 Screw terminal Blocks (2x3P) [J12, J9]
# Solder the 2 short male headers (2x4P) [J18, J20]
# Solder the 8 female headers to accept the upgraded stepper drivers. (8x8P) [J1x2, J4x2, J5x2, J8x2]
# Solder the 4 Capacitors provided [C1, C2, C3, C4). Note we provide TH caps, but there is also a footprint for SMD caps. Make 100% certain that you identify the GND pad before soldering.
# Solder the 4 long male headers to the underside of the PCB. (3x4P + 1x5P) [J2, J6, J10 + J14]]
# Now insert the PCB into the TinyG board with care, to ensure a good fit. The PCB must be higher than any component on the TinyG.
# Insert he jumpers into J18 & J20. The position for LitePlacer and OpenPNP are marked on the PCB. Make sure not to jumper the 3V3 or GND pins. Make sure you are happy with the connections for Z-max & Z-min by checking the connections on J19 with you DMM.
# Before proceeding check all solder joints are good/acceptable.

'''Wiring'''
* The general approach is to mirror what you have already in your existing installation. It is assumed that you have a standard wiring install. (If not adjust as appropriate or contact us directly for support)
* Motors J15/11/7/3 - The positions are the same as for the TinyG, so simply moving the 4 wires for each motor to the new PCB will suffice.
* Z-Axis J19 - Connect the Zmax from the switch to the ZmaxIN, Zmin from the switch to the ZminIN. Connect the ZmaxOUT to the Zmax on the TinyG & the ZminOUT to the Zmin on the TinyG. Insert he 2 jumpers into position depending on LitePlacer vs OpenPNP configuration. The positions are marked on the PCB silkscreen.
* Jumpers - Make sure you have inserted the 2 jumpers into the correct position for LitePlacer or OpenPNP.
* Solenoid J12 - Connect the 24V pin to the Solenoid V+ and the S- to the V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the solenoid coming from the TinyG.
* Pump J9 - Connect the 24V pin to the Pump V+ and the S- to the V- pins. The CTL should be connected to the control pin for the pump coming from the TinyG.
* Power - Move your main 24V supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd 24V position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. Move your main GND supply wire from the TinyG to J17 and then add a connection from the 2nd GND position back to the original 24V on the TinyG. There is also a spare connector for 24V/GND on J17a with 2 positions each.
* Spare 3V3/GND pins - If you are using these connections for any purpose, wire them up now. If not using them, we suggest applying some electrical tape (or similar) so that you don't accidentally connect the jumper.
* Before connecting any of the stepper drivers, power the system on and confirm the 2 LEDs are lighting. If not disconnect power immediately and troubleshoot.
* Before applying power test the correct operation of the Zmax/Zmin connections with your DMM.
* Before inserting any of the stepper drivers test the correct operation of the Solenoid and the pump using LitePlacer/OpenPNP
*Steppers - Insert the upgraded steppers one at a time and test them out individually using LitePlacer or OpenPNP. Make sure the power is off each time before inserting the new drivers.

# Do not 'clean' the signals before sending (unless requested to)
# Save & send the signals as above.

Uploading the KontroLIR Firmware

2021-01-13T18:23:03Z

AnalysIR: /* Known Issues */

'''''[[KontroLIR - Arduino compatible IR remote control|> KontroLIR Home]]'''''

__TOC__

First, you should familiarize yourself with using the Arduino IDE to compile(verify) and upload sketches. Then simply follow the instructions below to upload the firmware to KontroLIR.

== Known Issues ==

We have observed that there can be issue with the bootloader failing to activate when the MCU is in PWR_DOWN sleep mode (this is normal with the KontroLIR firmware loaded). So if you cannot get the bootloader to update the firmware from the Arduino IDE, there are 2 options, as follows:
# Press the KontroLIR buttons 1,3,7,9 in that order. The red LED will then start blinking for up to 30 seconds - indicating that it has not yet entered sleep mode. You can now proceed to upload the firmware using the Arduino IDE as normal. This sequence only behaves this way when powered from USB(5V). When operating from batteries this button sequence is ignored.
# When applying power for the first time, KontroLIR will blink the LED for up to 30 seconds to allow time for the bootloader to activate properly. Once you have supplied power to KontroLIR, you can immediately upload firmware using the Arduino IDE. This blinking after power on operates both when powered from USB & batteries.
# This note only applies when KontroLIR firmware is loaded or when the MCU is in sleep mode. It does not apply if the supplied TestSuite firmware is loaded.

== Steps to upload KontroLIR Firmware ==

# You will be provided a link to download the firmware source code, after purchasing your own KontroLIR remote control device, from our shop or an approved partner.
# Make sure you have installed and tested support for the ATmega328PB, into your Arduino IDE. (use the [https://github.com/watterott/ATmega328PB-Testing ATmega328PB core from watterott])
# Remove any batteries from KontroLIR and connect the Serial USB adapter to KontrolIR. (This USB adapter, requires a DTR or RTS pin to work - refer to [http://wiki.analysir.com/index.php?title=KontroLIR_Pin_Outs pin out] for firmware upload using the bootloader.)
# Make sure to follow the '''''[[Getting Started|Getting Started]]''''' instructions to verify correct operation of the ATmega328PB with your Arduino IDE, '''before''' proceeding to use KontroLIR firmware. The test suite also checks the hardware and is also explained in the '''''[[Getting Started|Getting Started]]''''' instructions.
# Insert the USB cable into the PC running the Arduino IDE.
# Select the correct COM port number of the serial USB adapter, in the Arduino IDE '''Tools->Port''' menu.
# Select clock speed of '''4MHz''' for the '''KontroLIR''' firmware.
# Compile(verify) the firmware using the Arduino IDE.
# Upload the firmware to the KontrolIR device. (See note above about blinking LED. It is better to upload when the red LED is Blinking)
# Close the Arduino IDE.

Congratulations! - you are now ready to use the reference KontroLIR firmware. Of course the default signals provided will not necessarily work with your own equipment, but is an important first step.

'''''[[KontroLIR - Arduino compatible IR remote control|> KontroLIR Home]]'''''

Getting Started

2021-01-13T18:20:08Z

AnalysIR: /* Test Suite */

'''''[[KontroLIR - Arduino compatible IR remote control|> KontroLIR Home]]'''''

Follow this section the first time you get your KontroLIR remote control.

__TOC__

== Arduino IDE ==
Make sure you have installed and tested support for the ATmega328PB, into your Arduino IDE. (use the [https://github.com/watterott/ATmega328PB-Testing ATmega328PB core from watterott]). Instructions on how to install this Core using the Boards manager are available via the link. You may have to resart the IDE. Check you can see the option for '''ATmega328PB Crystal Clock''' under the Tools:Board selection menu in the IDE.

Make sure you have the '''extEEPROM''' library installed on the Arduino IDE. If not, you can get it at the link below, which also provides instructions. This is required to run the test suite.
[https://github.com/JChristensen/extEEPROM Install the extEEPROM library from here]

'''User feedback:''' If you manually installed extEEPROM previously, you may have to remove it and re-install using the library manager of the Arduino IDE '''''(via Menu->Sketch->Include Library->Manage Libraries)'''''
''Also see forum post, in case you get related compiler errors. ([https://irforum.analysir.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=992#p2092 related IRforum post] )''

When using the Arduino IDE, you must always make sure that the folder Name & the name of the main '.ino' both match (including lower/upper case characters but excluding the '.ino' extension). Otherwise you will likely experience some compilations errors.

== Required Arduino Libraries ==
You will need to have several libraries installed & configured on the Arduino IDE.

* IRremote (see [[Configuring IRremote]])
* extEEPROM (via [https://github.com/JChristensen/extEEPROM GitHub])
* Wire

Make sure to have these libraries installed, before proceeding.

== Checklist ==
* Make sure you have a SerialUSB adapter which has a pin-out for Vcc, GND, Tx, Rx and either DTR or RTS. ''(Note: some adapters do not have a DTR/RTS pin available, which is required for uploading firmware using the Arduino IDE)''. If you are in any way unsure about this, make sure to purchase the SerialUSB option when ordering your KontroLIR. Vcc & Signal pins should operate at 5V (not 3V3) levels.
* Make sure you have a USB cable, of sufficient length, to use with the serialUSB adapter.
* Double check your order to establish if you have one or more of the options (EEPROM or dual IR Receivers)
* If you ordered the SerialUSB adapter, then it will be compatible with KontroLIR.
* For the default CH340 based SerialUSB adapters, '''CH341SER.EXE''' drivers can be downloaded from [http://www.wch.cn/download/CH341SER_ZIP.html]
* For initial usage, it is best to power KontroLIR with the SerialUSB adapter, until you are ready to use with batteries.
* Make sure to have 2xAAA Alkaline batteries available before you plan to start using KontroLIR as a stand-alone remote. ''(We have not tested with rechargeable batteries due to the lower voltage levels)''
* Batteries are not supplied with KontroLIR, due to shipping regulations. AAA Alkaline batteries are widely available worldwide. We suggest using quality batteries to avoid leakage related issues and if not using KontroLIR for extended periods it is generally a good idea to remove the batteries - as with any battery operated device. We have not tested with re-chargeable batteries due to the lower voltage levels. So stick with non-rechargeable Alkalines.
* Advanced users can also make use of the internally accessible ICSP compatible programming header to upload firmware with or without a bootloader and change fuse settings. However, frequently opening the enclosure could cause some issues over time if care is not taken. We use spudgers designed or this purpose and lots of TLC when opening the enclosure to avoid potential for damage.

== Test Suite ==

When you first receive your KontroLIR, the '''''very first thing''''' you should do (After your Arduino environment & serial driver are all OK) is to run the supplied Test suite sketch.

The reasons for this:
* It allows you to check that your KontroLIR hardware is working properly, without defect.
* We also run this test suite before shipping.
* If it runs for you we can all be confident that you received a working unit.
* ''Note: If you do not run this test suite first, before loading KontroLIR firmware, we will assume you did receive a working KontroLIR unit.''

To upload the Test Suite Firmware Sketch:
* Copy the folder KIR_TestSuite to your Arduino sketch folder
* Open it in the Arduino IDE
* Under Tools menu, Select ATmega328PB Crystal Clock as the target board
* Select Speed as 4Mhz
* Select the Port to match the COM port of the KontroLIR SerialUSB adapter. (Verify using Device Manager, if required)
* Verify/Compile the sketch and confirm it compiles OK.
* Make sure the batteries are removed.
* Make sure you have connected the SerialUSB to KontroLIR and your PC and that it is visible in Device Manager as a COM Port. Make a note of the Com Port and make sure it matches what you have selected under the Tools menu.
* Upload the Test Suite sketch to the KontroLIR device.
* Open the Arduino terminal window and set the BAUD rate to 19200.
* You should see a menu and initial test reporting displayed from the sketch.
* Verify that the configured EEPROM size matches what you ordered in KBytes. If it doesn't, change the definitions for EEPROM size near the end of the ''KIR_Vars.h'' header file. ''(If you did not order an EEPROM option, you can ignore this. However, you will still need to install extEEPROM library for the tests to compile.)''
* CAUTION: Most of the files in the test suite are similar to the main KontroLIR file. Be aware they are not the same and may have minor differences - even though the files names are the same.

Now we are ready to run the tests:
* The test commands are case insensitive and single characters. A brief explanation is provided in the displayed Menu.
* ''''?'''' displays the Menu again.
* '''FIRST''' run the LED blink test by entering option ''''L''''
* The red LED should blink ~5 times, indicating that the LED is operational.
* '''SECOND''', run the button test, by entering ''''B''''
* You will then be prompted to press each button in turn. When you press the button the LED will blink briefly, indicating a successful test for that button.
* If you get mixed up, go back or forward a few buttons, in case you missed one. You can continue on once you get a blink.
* NOTE: The UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT buttons have the potential for 2 different button presses on some models (e.g. UPleft & UPright etc.). For now just press the relevant button as requested even if it may seem that you are being asked to press the same button twice.
* Once you have successfully pressed all buttons as requested you will see a message saying the test has passed. If a button fails, you will not be able to proceed beyond that button.
* There is no time limit for the tests, as the system will wait until you successfully complete each prompt/step, after which a Pass or Fail message is displayed.
* '''THIRD''' run the IR Receivers test, if installed. (If not installed, ignore this test)
* Run the IR Receiver test, by entering ''''R''''.
* You will then see if the IR receivers are present.
* Then you are prompted to press any TV remote (over the VOL+ button should do).
* You should then See a message indicating the IR receiver tests have Passed.
* '''FOURTH''' you can run the EEPROM test (only if installed)
* Run the EEPROM test, by entering ''''T''''.
* The system will proceed to go thru a series of tests writing and reading to/from EEPROM and finally erasing every page and verifying this.
* If the EEPROM test passed you will see a message saying so.(Otherwise the test will stop with an error message)
* Congratulations, you have now successfully verified correct operation of your KontroLIR device.
* There are additional EEPROM test available, which may prove useful at some stage later on.
* There is also an option ''''X'''' to send 4 test NEC signals @ 38kHz which will verify operation of the IR emitter circuit. If you have another IR receiver setup with say IRremote or our own AnalysIR you can use them to verify the signals being sent. Otherwise just make use of an indicator on a TV or similar or use a digital camera to see if there is IR being emitted from the IR LED.
* You are now ready to move onto using KontroLIR to create your own custom remote control.

If you see any issues or Fails, contact support.

== Default KontroLIR Firmware ==
We provide a fully functional firmware for 5 example devices, which uses only a small amount of FLASH and SRAM.
* Device Mode 1 - is a Philips smart TV with a mix of RC5 and RC6 protocols ''(Press TV button to enter Mode 1, from all modes)''
* Device Mode 2 - is a generic satellite STB, which mainly uses the NEC protocol ''(press SAT button to enter Mode 2, from Modes 1,3,4 or 5)''
* Device Mode 3 - is for a Samsung smart TV, which uses the Samsung Protocol ''(press DVD button to enter Mode 3, from Modes 1,2,4 or 5)''
* Device Mode 4 - implements a Microsoft Media Center remote control using an extended RC6 protocol. ''(press SAT button to enter Mode 4, from Mode 2 only)''
* Device Mode 5 - implements a series of test signals, used for testing KontroLIR. ''(press DVD button to enter Mode 5, from Mode 3 only)''
* If the user is uncertain of the current mode, they can press TV to get back to the default Mode 1 and proceed to other modes as required from there.
* It is always possible to extend the number of modes, by using other buttons or sequences for this purpose.
* Conversely, if the user requires less modes you can convert one or more of the 3 device buttons into any other signal/command buttons as required.

You should now be ready to proceed to customising the firmware for your own needs. We recommend trying out small incremental changes and testing them out before embarking on a major overhaul of the official firmware. Of course once you are confident about the layout and functionality of the firmware, the possibilities are endless. Remember there are no hard and fast rules about how many devices you can configure or what signal(s) to associate to a button. For example, with an STB device you can use the VOL keys to send the TV signal for VOL instead of the ones for the STB. You can assign any button/mode to any signal or command you desire.

'''''Always keep a separate backup copy of your last working firmware, so that you have something to compare against if you run into problems.'''''

The image below shows the button map for each mode in the reference firmware along with other useful information and templates. You will be provided with the source spreadsheet for this as part of your order and you can customise to plan and match your own configuration requirements.

Configuring IRremote

AnalysIR:

'''''[[KontroLIR - Arduino compatible IR remote control|> KontroLIR Home]]'''''

'''''See updated instructions for IRremote 2.5+ below....'''''

First, install the latest copy of the IRremote library (available via [https://github.com/z3t0/Arduino-IRremote/ GitHub])

Once you have the IRremote library installed in your Arduino IDE, you can proceed to the next steps.

Next, you should configure IRremote to work with KontroLIR, which uses pin 9 and Timer1 for IR Tx (vs default of pin 3 and Timer2).
Once installed the library folders can typically be found in C:\Users\'''[USER]'''\Documents\Arduino\libraries\IRremote\ where '''[USER]''' is your username on your PC.

[[File:IRremoteChanges.jpg]]

* '''Step 1:''' Edit the IRremote file "boarddefs.h around line 190 (ref '''point 4''' in image).
* '''Step 2:''' Comment out this line for using Timer2 (line #194 above)
* '''Step 3:''' Un-comment this line for using Timer1 (line #193 above)

When completed save the file and restart the Arduino IDE, to make sure the changes are registered.

Congratulations you are now ready to use IRremote with KontroLIR. The KontroLIR firmware makes use of and in some cases extends the IRremote library for sending IR signals.

'''UPDATE:''' For IRremote versions 2.5 & 2.6.
The file name is now '''''IRremoteBoardDefs.h''''' and the line number is now circa line 350. The file is now located in the '''''"Private"''''' sub-directory. You need to comment out the line with the '''"#error"''' statement and un-comment the line defining '''"IR_USE_TIMER1"'''

'''UPDATE:''' For IRremote version 2.8.x & later. (This supersedes the update note above)
The file name is now '''''IRremoteBoardDefs.h''''' and the line number is now circa line 195/196. The file is now located in the '''''"Private"''''' sub-directory. You need to comment out the line with the '''"IR_USE_TIMER2"''' statement and un-comment the line defining '''"IR_USE_TIMER1"'''. You may also notice that support for the Atmeg328PB has now been officially added from IRremote 2.8.0+. ''(IRremote version 2.7 is not supported, please use 2.6 or 2.8+)''

'''DO NOT USE IRREMOTE 2.8.0 or 2.8.1''' as we have identified a significant bug in the library for these releases. We have provided a solution for the bug via GitHub. Only use 2.6.1 or (later 2.8.2+)
