RS485 Breakout with 48 V Passthrough Building Block Board — Final Testing
Final testing of the RS485 breakout with 48 V passthrough building block board, including higher-speed RS485 communication tests over approximately 20 metres of Cat 6 cable.
RS485 Breakout with 48 V Passthrough Building Block Board — Part 7
Reflecting on the first RS485 breakout with 48 V passthrough board and why the next revision may split RS485 communication and 48 V distribution into separate building block boards.
RS485 Breakout with 48V Passthrough Building Block Board — Part 4
The first manufactured RS485 breakout with 48 V passthrough boards have arrived, followed by initial inspection, a silkscreen mistake, and the first basic bring-up checks.
RS485 Breakout with 48V Passthrough Building Block Board — Part 3
Sending the first RS485 breakout with 48 V passthrough building block board for manufacture, while refining the design around screw terminals, JLCPCB parts selection, and practical field use.
USB-C Breakout and 3.3V Regulator Building Block Board — Part 2
The first assembled batch of my USB-C and 3.3V regulator building block board arrived from JLCPCB, ready for inspection, bring-up, and load testing.
