My main concern about the 3.3V PSU ripple is this schematics. It is the current sensor of my MC4X15A Motor Controller. As 3.3V is used as reference and ripple I might see sensor variations I don’t want – basically adding to the sensor noise.

This scope pic is from the 3.3V on my MC4X15A – Universal Motor Controller. The MCU is running and I have the 0.33F Supercap mounted. Ca 200mV point to point ripple is to much for my taste, but it works and this is far better than I have measured out of the Lab PSU’s. I…
I decided to test my LMR14206 based DC/DC again and replaced the 15uH inductor with a 47uH inductor on the 12V design. The scope pictures was a shock: This first scope picture show what I saw as 12V out. It is 12.2V, but look at that ripple picture of several voltages. To compare I scoped…
Starting at left is a ESP32 Breakout board, then one of my own STM32F405RG breakout boards, a 5″ HDMI, Wireless keyboard and Raspberry PI 3 with my 5 port Hat – and your right it’s a different Hat with screw terminals, so I do have 2 x 5 port Hat’s working. What I will do…
This shows a Raspberry PI 3 with a Communication Hat, Display and mini keyboard. This is basically all the hardware I need for a very advanced CAN Adapter & Analyzer. The main reasons I am skeptical is the wiring needed on this solution. Using a HDMI display is very powerfully, but you need a large…
This is a 5 port communication Hat mounted on a Raspberry PI 3. It contains 3 x RS485 and 2 x CAN ports. The design is not new for readers of this blog, but it is actually the first time I assemble rev 1.1 – just before I am about to order rev 1.2. The…
I am just assembling one of my first Raspberry PI Hat’s With a 3 x RS485 and 2 x CAN for testing. The circuits below is what I used at the time. Rev 1.2 will use 3.3V only and remove the components crossed in Red. It is a common error to add protection towards ground,…
Since we talk about galvanic RS485 & CAN Adapter’s I guess it is time to visit this project as well. The universal adapter below was something I started last time I needed CAN. This adds W5500 and ESP12-E + NRF in addition to CAN & RS485. I never made a revision of this Board, but…
This is the rev 1.2 of my 5 port Hat with 3 x RS485 and 2 x CAN. I never ordered this PCB because it is only mechanical changes from Rev 1.1. But, using this or a galvanic version with Raspberry PI is an option for my CAN Adaptor plans. The advantages with this is…
This is the same drawing as the previous post, but I added the TF Card option. Basically this is a small mini-computer Complete With display, keyboard (in the display), Wifi, Storage etc. Just for the record it actually got more “disk” and RAM than my first IBM Compatible PC. I have never done a TF-card…
