RE Mote: Enhancements from Rev.A to Rev.B - Zolertia/Resources GitHub Wiki
These are the most important enhancements from Revision A:
- Replaced "Low Power PIC" PIC12F635 for PIC16F1509, to extend the number of pins and peripherals
- Simplified "shutdown mode" operation, now commands are sent over I2C to the "Low Power PIC"
- PIC low power now is powered over battery and USB, solving an errata in battery management
- NanoTimer (TPL5110DDCT) was removed and now shutdown scheduling is managed by the RTCC and PIC low power.
- Replaced LED RGB (ASMB-MTB0-0A3A2).
- RTCC Interrupt 1 is now connected to PD3 pin from CC2538.
- Added battery monitoring via the "Low Power PIC", readable over I2C command.
- Improved noise prevention in USB transmission lines.
- Changed I2C Interrupt/Generic pin to PD0 from CC2538.
- Mapped TDI and TDO pins to LED's to save more pins, the LEDs can be disabled if needed by desoldering a resistor.
- ADC3 (5VDC supply voltage) impedance was improved
- Changed CC1200 LDO to provide a 3.3V supply instead of 3V.
- Fixed silkscreen pinout assignations.
- Added 1 extra pin exposed on each external connector (JP5 and JP6)
- JTAG pins (TMS, TCK) are not exposed on lateral connectors, just only through the JTAG connector.
- Pitch between external connectors are now 2.54 mm multiple, compatible with most protoboards.
- Modified Battery pin-out orientation over an additional connector, to allow connect the battery with a standard connector and place inside the RE-Mote enclosure
- Improved labelling on PCB for correct indication to user (USB and switch indicators, ...).
- PA6 and PA7 mapped to the microSD SEL/CSn are exposed in the JP5 connector, to allow use as ADCx/AINx if a 0Ohm resistor is removed
