WIP: DIY nRF82540 NiceRF 868 4.2 Inch ePaper

[mark.birss]

I have updated my prototype currently powered via USB-C 5V and changed to using the Waveshare LoRa module

Here is the 12 parts below used, headers and wire to connect up, used a hand drill to make opening for the coil on the 3.3V rail

The Waveshare Core1262-868M Anti-Interference SX1262 LoRa Module is better than the NiceRF LoRa used with the first prototype as it adds TXEN and RXEN ability (ability to enable and disable transmit and receive) and has uFL to SMA antenna connection

Also this just requires a small change to the current firmware variant.h file

#define SX126X_TXEN    (32 + 13)      // TXEN        P1.13 NiceRF 868 dont use
#define SX126X_RXEN    (32 + 10)      // RXEN        P1.10 NiceRF 868 dont use
#define SX126X_E22

This change has been merged

Enable TXEN and RXEN for Waveshare LoRa Module

Currently testing with fw 1.2.63 (backported)

[mark.birss]

The 2 x 18650 LiPo 7.4v batteries lasted just over 64 hours and at 71 hours the voltage dropped too low to keep the device powered (the 3.3 Voltage regulator requires 4.3V or more too still operate)

[Neil]

For such kind of low power, if integrate all those stuffs in to one PCB and place it into waterproof case. The power switch may not necessary anymore.

[mark.birss]

The 5v 2 x 18650 boost board lasted about 50 hours

[mark.birss]

I received another dual battery charger to try out next
It even offers 3.3v output

This DF Robot is quite nice as it has a power on off button and can charge via USB-C or Micro-USB

[mark.birss]

In order to get some more battery usage statistics, i bought a RIDEN® UM24C USB 2.0 Color LCD Display Tester Voltage Current Meter

This allows power usage monitoring over Bluetooth

but im yet to see the Accumulated value increase ?

As I just started I will see if it increase later

[mark.birss]

I see the accumulated value is actually available on the UM24C’s screen

[mark.birss]

The accumulated usage starts to show connected to the M5 CoreInk

M5 CoreInk peaks at 180mA whilst the nRF82540 only peaks 90mA usage

HI @mark.birss

This is truly a fascinating variant. Love your design!

Recently, I tried to follow your steps and make a diy version.
but some how it stuck on bluetooth pairing

I’m also using pca10059 dongle, already cleared / replace the original bootloader to Adafruit’s version (tried 0.6.3~0.9.0)

even modify variant.h for multiple pin combination, and have successful compile & upload to my NRF dongle.
but, it always freeze when I try to pair with my phone.

I had already make a few variant with Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Express or nRF52840 MDK USB Dongle and they work just fine.

pca10059 is the only hardware I can’t make it work!

Any suggestion we be appreciated !
I’m guessing it’s a bootloder issue

Best,

Sean

[mark.birss]

Been a while since i flashed/used my own varaint. What does the logs show regarding paring ?

It should not be a bootloader issue in my opinion.
I have seen at the moment some user mentioned ble issues on discord not sure if it related

Could you try and downgrade bootloader any further to test anyway ?

[SCWhite]

Oh wow, thanks for your reply.

I’m defiantly going to check the discord channel.

I’ve tried several version of Adafruit_nRF52_Bootloader
with 0.6.3 / 0.7.0 / 0.8.3 /0.9.0
but, it all got the same bluetooth problem

but this issue doesn’t happen on the makerdiary dongle?
they’re basically the same chip, weird.

I tried the makerdiary bootloader on pca10059, and that’s how I bricked 2 of my boards…
still trying to find a proper J-link to fix them, my J-link OB doesn’t work.

Thanks you!

you can try pyocd or openocd

TGT="nrf52840";

pyocd cmd -c "halt" --target $TGT
pyocd erase --mass --target $TGT;
pyocd flash $BTLDR --target $TGT;

[mark.birss]

The bootloader specifies button and led which might be conflict when you load bootloader to a different device

I added official Adafruit nRF52 bootloader support for the other MakerDiary -

nRF52840 Connect Kit

The issue often with adding support is the VENDOR:PRODUCT USBids

But i have not yet made my own device with this yet but like the design of the board

Adds support for the Makerdiary nRF52840 Connect Kit board

if you refer to the changes you can see how support is added

[SCWhite]

HI @mark.birss

Thanks again!

I’m aware of my radio hasn’t been initialized correctly (because I didn’t connect my lora chip yet)
but this shouldn’t be an issue for bleutooth freeze, right?

I’ve tried the same code & bootloader version on my Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Express and nRF52840 MDK USB Dongle
they both can be connected to my phone even without lora module
(I still will get a sx126x init result -2 but it doesn’t effect the program running).

This is the log from my nRF52840 MDK , I didn’t connect the lora chip on this, but it still behave as a Meshtastic device should be.

the nRF52480 MDK have no issue connecting through bluetooth
while pca10059 stop after this line:

INFO  | ??:??:?? 106 BLE connection secured

Thanks for providing Adafruit nRF52 bootloader support for the MakerDiary
I’ll look into it.

but right now I think I’ll stick with MakerDiary’s bootloader and try to find out why pca10059 doesn’t work.

I’m very thankful for your reply! you’re the best!

Thanks

[mark.birss]

Yes, the ble part should not matter wihtout lora being initialised.

The only other thing known is the PCA100059 boards did undergo some revisions, so we could compare my used revision with yours

[SCWhite]

I got N52840 QIAAF0 for my pca10059
it’s Revision 3 according to the Nordic document

and interestingly, I have N52840 QIAAD0 for my nRF52840 MDK
it’s Revision 2

never have thought of this will make a huge different

Thank you

[mark.birss]

Ok, so the revision changes might also include for the actual pcb of the PCA10059
