TP3244 Pinouts

[Tabor]

Ok as requested here is a pinout for the TP3244.



Quick diagram of power supply connection.



And pinout for the white 3 pin plugs that Phil provides with TP3244.
Blue - data
Brown - Clock
Green/Yellow - Ground



And Last but not least the connect on the MPH/JEC pixels.



Thanks DMoore for this info.

RJ45 Pin2, Orange = TP3244 - "B"
RJ45 Pin1, Orange/White = TP3244 - "A"

More Information.

Jumpers are not used at the moment.

Status Leds.
Led 6 - PIC Alive, flash about once a sec
Led 5 - DMX data receive, flashes quickly while receiving data.
Led 4 - Not Used.
Led 3 - Config receive, half second flash when received config data

Hope this helps.

Very nice Tabor....Thanks???

But one thing you havent shown is which colours go to where on the white connectors which colours is clock/data/gnd?

Havent shown it, because I don't have it.

Its personal preference, unless Phil has soldered them on for you.
In that case Phil will have to answer it.

Very nice work Tabor

Blue - data
Brown - Clock
Green/Yellow - Ground

Hi Phil,

thanks for the info just as well I clarified it as it wasn't my first choice I would have gone Brown/Blue/Yellow same way you generally do mains wiring.

Thanks

One other Question I think may have been answered?

Can the board be run from 5V. Supplying it via the 12V input (as the reg may overheat)? Does the regulator have to be removed and bridged?

otherwise i will have to run 12V out to the pixels as well as 5V

ok looks like it was answered in another post

Power Input
The board provides for 12V and 5V power inputs, due to a missing jumper the 12v->5v regulator WILL overheat if 5v is connected to the 5v input.
Workaround 1 - connect 5v input to the 12v connection point, the 5v LDO regulator will output around 4.2v sufficient to drive the pixel outputs and the 3.3v reg.
Workaround 2 - use 12v to power all the pcbs.
Workaround 3 - disconnect by unsoldering the 12v regulator from the board if only using 5v

Thanks

Spot on Ian

Personally I am feeding the 12v input with 5v, as the pixels run at the same voltage.

Ian, I don't follow.  In what way would the colours correspond? (mains vs data)

Don't worry Wombat... the good news is whatever order you connect mains to the pixel outputs the outcome will be the same!!! 

(btw please dont try this at home folks...)

[Tabor]

yep there will be some lights then, all sync'd to 50Hz.

[Tabor]

Thanks D

I have also added that to the first post.

I got my board today and wanted to start playing with some 2801 pixels.  Since these are 4 wires, I assume I am only connecting the clock and data from the board to the pixels and then injecting 5v dc power directly to the pixels on the 5v and ground connection?  That would leave the output ground from the board not connected.  Please let me know.  Thanks!

I received my board today as well.

Thanks,
