1. Black & White - fast download 2. Black & White - high quality 3. Color - fast download 4. Color - high quality The load Manaement Decoder Schematic (latest low-power version) ***UPDATED MARCH 4, 2022*** Note: there is a typo on the schematic for the load management decoder. References to "SPI" should be "SCI". The firmware in the decoder is able to receive load management signals through either an SPI interface (for short-range wired communications) or the special load management signal line (over long wires). The main controller provides the load management signal both ways, but the SPI port is not wired to a connector at either end unless these have been added by the user. -Send this zip file to any board manufacturer and get a quote back from them on making up some boards for the controller and the load management decoder. Includes all the info a manufacturer needs to produce the boards for the system! Take a look at the README file in the zip to see what you are sending them. |
