Croduino MiniNova VIN pin location and programming setup

TECHNICAL SUPPORT NULA Development Boards

Customer:

I cannot find documentation for Croduino MiniNova anywhere. Where is the VIN pin located? Looking at it, it appears to be the second pin from ground where there are 6 pins. I am trying to program it using Croduino Basic, so a tutorial or at least a schematic showing how to connect them would be helpful.

Ne mogu nigdje naći dokumentaciju za Croduino miniNOVA. Gdje se nalazi VIN? Ovako na oko čini se drugi pin od uzemljenja tamo gje je 6 pinova… Pokušavam ga programirati preko Croduino basic pa možda bacite neki tutorial ili barem shemu kako ih spojiti.

Soldered Support:

The VIN pin is labeled as 5V (the same pin as the 5V from the USB connector).

To program the board:

Connect a USB to UART converter (for example, Croduino Basic2 or CP2102 breakout) in the standard way: TX-RX, RX-TX, and 5V power. The critical step is putting the board into bootloader mode.

To enter bootloader mode:

  1. The board has two buttons: GPIO 0 and RESET. While the board is powered, press GPIO0 first, then press RESET.
  2. Release the RESET button while still holding the GPIO0 button.
  3. Then release the GPIO0 button.
  4. The board is now in bootloader mode. You can upload code via Arduino IDE.

Use the same Arduino IDE settings as for Croduino NOVA.

isprike, nismo još objavili detalje u vezi pločice! Šaljem shemu u privitku. Stavit ćemo uskoro na GitHub.

Programiranje je jednostavno: spojite neku pločicu s USB na UART konverterom(npr. Croduino Basic2, CP2102 breakout) na klasičan način(TX-RX, RX-TX, napajanje 5V) i ključan korak je staviti pločicu u bootloader mod. To radite tako da:

  1. na pločici se nalaze dva tipkala, GPIO 0 i RESET. Dok je pločica pod napajanjem, stisnite prvo GPIO0 pa onda RESET.
  2. Pustite tipku RESET, a još uvijek držite GPIO0 tipku.
  3. Nakon toga pustite i GPIO0 tipku
  4. Sada je pločica u bootloader mode-u. Možete uploadati kod preko Arduino IDE
    postavke u Arduino IDE identične kao i za Croduino NOVA

VIN pin je označen kao 5V(isti pin kao i 5V s USB konektora)

javite ako imate još pitanja!
