  • Page 11: Lcd Screen

    Arduino® Edge Control 3.3 LCD Screen The Arduino® Edge Control provides a dedicated connector (J1) for interfacing with a HD44780 16x2 LCD display module, sold separately. The main processor controls the LCD via a TCA6424 port expander over I2C. Data is transferred over a 4-bit interface.

  • Page 12: 4-20Ma Sensors

    Arduino® Edge Control 3.5 4-20mA Sensors Up to four 4-20mA sensors can be connected to J4. A reference voltage of 19V is generated by the MP1542 step-up converter to power the current loop. The sensor value is read via a 220 ohm resistor. Each input is connected to an analog multiplexer (MC14067) that channels the signal to a single ADC port.

  • Page 13: Latching Outputs

    Arduino® Edge Control 3.7 Latching Outputs Connectors J9 and J10 provide outputs to latching devices like motorized valves. The latching output consists of dual channels (P and N) through which an impulse or strobe can be sent in either of the 2 channels (to open a close valve for example).

  • Page 14: Storage

    Arduino® Edge Control 3.9 Storage The board includes both a microSD card socket and an additional 2MB flash memory for data storage. Both are directly connected to the main processor via a SPI interface. 3.10 Power Tree The board can be powered via solar panels and/or SLA batteries.

  • Page 15: Board Operation

    4.1 Getting Started - IDE If you want to program your Arduino® Edge Control while offline you need to install the Arduino® Desktop IDE [1] To connect the Arduino® Edge control to your computer, you’ll need a Micro-B USB cable. This also provides power to the board, as indicated by the LED.

  • Page 16: Board Recovery

    4.6 Board Recovery All Arduino® boards have a built-in bootloader which allows flashing the board via USB. In case a sketch locks up the processor and the board is not reachable anymore via USB it is possible to enter bootloader mode by double- tapping the reset button right after power up.
