New part for dongle

[RJ]

I updated the BOM so if you order from it at this time it has all parts for the new dongle. The added parts are three resistors, two leds (one red, one green), a 2 pin header and shunt tin.

Every parts is something we use in other Lynx equipment.

I attached a pic of the ver 2 layout so you can see the change.

Is there any space left for an ICSP header?

This would actually be nice. Looking at the pcb, it would suck pulling the pic out for programming. I know there are tools out there, just saying.
The pic looks really close to the RJ45 jack.

Is there any space left for an ICSP header?

That is why I'm asking.

I recently had to pull my PIC from the dongle to reprogram it and it was not easy at all. Almost broke some of the pins since one side is too close to the RJ45 jack.

Sorry there won't be a ICSP header.

Yes I am confused... 1st week of January purchased from RJ a Dongle PCB, now I see reference to NEW DMX Dongle... have reserved 4 boards from the current Dongle Coop - is my 1st week Jan the same board? Ordered the BOM, see something about some resistor changes and 1 red, 1 green LED in the thread... no problem with progress, just I am confused... want all to be the latest, greatest build... voyageurs60 (Dan)

None of the newer Dongle pcbs have been sent out yet.  The current coop is the first batch of the newer pcbs.  And is the first batch with the additional parts option.

Maybe a suggestion on the wiki, can a link be set up for the dongles that are version 1 and a link for the new board version 2.

I know that there are only five different really inexpensive part in the new BOM.  However, the changes might be confusing with someone that has a version one board.  If I did not follow the forum, and I did not know about the extra parts for the new dongle board and I ordered part for a version 1 board and had part left over part after I was done assembling.  Ii will be frantic.

Hi Folks,

The Dongle Manual is still for Ver 1. The only changes in there is some updated parts (ie: replace discontinue part numbers).
The Wiki Bom now has two sections a Ver 2 and Ver 1
The Mouser Bom has 5 extra parts in it to cover Ver 2 pcbs which RJ has already explained

Hope that helps some

RJ,

Even though the V2 board hasn't been released yet, is it possible to get a shot of the backside of the V2 board along with the front shot you posted previously? I don't see any problem adding the extra parts to the V1 board.

Thanks,

Jerry

Thanks Keith for the info!

Really Thanks, I got my order in and be building it soon
Take Care
