Mode of operation (power requirements)
Change Language
Last update: 15-11-2023
The smart DAQ can be powered on three ports:
- USB-C port with 5V 1000mA DC
- JST SH 1.0 mm 2-pin connector with 5V 1000mA DC input
- JST SH 1.0 mm 3-pin connector for a 4.2V LiPo Battery
The smart DAQ has onboard 2 LEDs. One for the battery management system (BMS) and the other for the microprocessor modes of operation.
The battery status LED is ON when connected using the USB-C port and:
- no battery is present;
- battery is present and is fully charged;
This means the LED is OFF when the device is being powered from the USB-C port, a LiPo battery is connected, and charging (not full).
The RGB LED is a 3 in 1 kind of LED to display microprocessor modes of operation information in a visual manner:
- The blue color LED is for connectivity-related modes of operation (WIFI/ Bluetooth/ BLE);
- The green color LED is for indicating successful modes of operation;
- The RED color LED is for indicating failure modes of operation or busy states mode of operation;
🟢 Fully tested and working
A green circle means the hardware electronics or the programming code was fully tested, each of its functionalities and capabilities. And it can be installed in a vehicle. Keep in mind this does not mean errors won't happen. As in everything related to electronics and software, there are revisions and updates. This open hardware is no different.
💯 Fully tested & working, no improvements necessary - already being sold online
🆓 Fully Open hardware \ source code
🤪 There's better than this. don't use it
🔐 Fully closed hardware \ source code
⚡️ fully tested and working, however, it is a dangerous solution to deploy
🟡 Not tested. Working capability is unknown, it may work or not.
A yellow circle means the hardware electronics or the programming code was not fully tested, each of its functionalities and capabilities. This does not mean it not working, it simply means testing is needed before giving a green circle of approval.
🔴 Fully tested but not working.
A red circle means the hardware electronics or the programming code was fully tested, and found some kind of critical error or fault. This means the electronics or firmware code cannot be used in a vehicle.
⌛ Not started.
The hourglass means the hardware electronics or the programming hasn't started. Most likely because is waiting for the necessary test components needed for reverse engineering and also engineering of the new open solution.
