.. _maple-identify-rev:

Identifying your Rev
--------------------

We went through three versions ("Revs") of the Maple hardware: Rev 1,
Rev 3, and Rev 5 [#frev2_4]_; Rev 5, the final design, is currently on
sale.  The following sections will help you to help you identify your
Rev.

Rev 5
^^^^^

These boards went on sale in November 2010.  They have white buttons
and "r5" in small print near the "LeafLabs Maple" text next to the
"infinity leaf" logo.  The Maple Rev 5 repositioned the double header
on the right hand side to better fit 0.1 inch pitch breadboard.  This
necessitated the removal of pins 21 and 22 from the double header;
they are still available, but don't have any headers installed on
them.

.. figure:: /_static/img/maple_rev5.png
   :align: center
   :alt: Maple Rev 5

Rev 3
^^^^^

This batch of boards went on sale beginning in May 2010. They have a
darker red silkscreen and the "infinity leaf" logo.  The Maple Rev 3
was the first version which includes the built-in button, labeled BUT.

.. figure:: /_static/img/maple_rev3.png
   :align: center
   :alt: Maple Rev 3

Rev 1
^^^^^

A small number of Maple Rev 1 boards went on sale in late 2009.  They
have a light red silkscreen and a single pixelated leaf as a logo.

   :align: center

.. _maple-powering:

Powering the Maple
------------------

The Maple's power source is determined by the header to the left of
the "LeafLabs" label on the silkscreen.  All versions of the Maple can
be powered from the barrel jack connector, USB, or a LiPo battery.  We
ship the Maple with a jumper on the USB selector.  In order to power
it off of an alternative source, unplug the Maple, then move the
jumper to the desired selector before reconnecting power.

You can also power the Maple via the pin labeled "Vin" on the lower
header.  This pin feeds into both the digital and analog voltage
regulators.  However, don't do this while simultaneously powering the
board from another source, or you could damage it.

When powering the board from a barrel jack, **double check the
polarity of the barrel.** The appropriate polarity is noted on the
silkscreen right next to the connector.

.. warning:: Silkscreens on Maples up through Rev 5s manufactured in
   Spring 2011 falsely indicated that the barrel jack could be
   supplied by up to 18V. (Rev5s manufactured after Spring 2011 may
   still have this error on the silk, but it has been marked over.) We
   recommend a barrel jack input voltage **no greater than 12V**, and
   potentially even lower depending upon the current draw requirements
   of the application. The same goes for powering off LiPo batteries.

   Please see :ref:`Power Regulation on the Maple
   <maple-power-regulation>` for more information.

.. _maple-power-regulation:

Power Regulation on the Maple
-----------------------------

Power regulation on the Maple is provided by two low dropout linear
voltage regulators. (The part is the MCP1703 from Microchip, in the
SOT-23A package. You can download the datasheet `here
<http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/22049a.pdf>`_ ). One
of the regulators supplies power to the digital voltage plane; the
other supplies power to the analog voltage plane.

These voltage regulators nominally take an input of up to 16V. In
addition, while the maximum continuous output current for the board is
250mA, if you are powering the board off higher voltages the current
it can supply goes down, due to the regulators needing to dissipate
the extra power. So if you are powering the board off 12V, the max
current is about 40mA at room temperature. In general (again, at room
temperature) the max power dissipation (PD) for the chip is about
.37W, and output current = PD/(Vin-Vout). For exact max current
calculations, please refer to the datasheet linked above.

If you are planning to draw a lot of current from the Maple board, it
is necessary to provide input power as close to 3.3V as
possible. Powering the microcontroller circuitry and LEDs on the board
alone takes approximately 30mA, so if you are powering the board with
12V that leaves only 10mA (at best) available for powering any user
circuitry. Attempting to draw more than 10mA runs the risk of shorting
out the power regulators and bricking your board.

Using the Built-in Battery Charger
----------------------------------

Maples Rev 3 and Rev 5 also have a built-in LiPo battery charger.  In
order to use it, put a jumper across the CHRG header on the power
selection header and across the USB, or EXT selectors, depending on
whether you're charging the battery via USB cable or barrel jack
connector.  The LED labeled CHRG will light up while the battery is
being charged.  When the battery is finished charging, the LED labeled
DONE will light up.

.. _maple-gpios:

GPIO Information
----------------

The Maple features 38 ready-to-use general purpose input/output (see
:ref:`gpio`) pins for digital input/output, numbered ``D0`` through
``D37``.  These numbers correspond to the numeric values next to each
header on the Maple silkscreen.

.. _maple-ret6-but:

Pin ``D38`` is the board's :ref:`button pin <lang-board-values-but>`.
It is thus mainly useful as an :ref:`input <lang-pin-levels>`.  The
pin will :ref:`read <lang-digitalread>` ``HIGH`` when the :ref:`button
is pressed <lang-isbuttonpressed>`.

More GPIOs (numbered ``D39``\ --``D42`` on the back of the Maple's
silkscreen) are available if you use the :ref:`lang-disabledebugports`
function; see the :ref:`board-specific debug pin constants
<lang-board-values-debug>` for more information.  (See :ref:`this
erratum <maple-nrst-pb4>` for information about the pin numbered
``43`` on the silkscreen).

<usart>`): ``Serial1``, ``Serial2``, and ``Serial3``. They communicate
using the pins given in the following table.

.. _maple-adc-bank:

Low-Noise ADC Pins
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The six pins at the bottom right of the board (D15—D20) generally
offer lower-noise ADC performance than other pins on the board. If
you’re concerned about getting good ADC readings, we recommend using
one of these pins to take your measurements.

Maple has an electrically isolated analog power plane with its own
regulator, and a geometrically isolated ground plane. Pins D15—D20 are
laid out to correspond with these analog planes, and our measurements
indicate that they generally have the lowest noise of all the analog
lines.  However, analog performance may vary depending upon the
activity of the other GPIOs.  Consult the :ref:`Maple hardware design
files <maple-hardware>` for more details.

Hardware Design Files
---------------------

The hardware schematics and board layout files are available in the
`Maple GitHub repository <https://github.com/leaflabs/maple>`_.  The
design files for Rev 1, Rev 3, and Rev 5 are respectively in the
``maple-r1``, ``maple-r3``, and ``maple-r5`` subdirectories.  A
schematic for a JTAG adapter suitable for use with Maple is available
in the ``jtagadapter`` directory.

From the GitHub repository main page, you can download the entire
repository by clicking the "Download" button.  If you are familiar
with `Git <http://git-scm.com/>`_, you can also clone the repository
at the command line with ::

    $ git clone git://github.com/leaflabs/maple.git

.. _maple-failure-modes:

Failure Modes
-------------

The following are known failure modes.  The failure modes aren't
design errors, but are easy ways to break or damage your board
permanently.

* **High voltage on non-tolerant pins**: not all header pins are 5V
  compatible; so e.g. connecting certain serial devices in the wrong
  way could over-voltage the pins.  The :ref:`pin-mapping master table
  <maple-pin-map-master>` details which pins are :ref:`5 V tolerant
  <gpio-5v-tolerant>`.

Errata
------

This section documents design flaws and other errors.

General
^^^^^^^

.. _maple-barrel-jack:

* **Barrel jack power supply voltage mistake**: The acceptable voltage
  range given next to the barrel jack on the Maple through Rev 5s
  manufactured in Spring 2011 is **incorrect**.  The given range is 7V
  — 18V.  In fact, **18V is too high** and should not be supplied to
  your board. The original voltage regulators used on the Maple were
  rated up to 18V.  However, the voltage regulators on current Maple
  Revs are rated up to only 16V, and due to the current draw
  requirements of the board, operate properly only up to 12V.  The
  recommended maximum voltage you should apply is **12V**, and
  potentially even lower depending upon the current draw requirements
  of the application. Please see :ref:`Power Regulation on the Maple
  <maple-power-regulation>` for more information.

.. _maple-nrst-pb4:

* **Reset and PB4 tied together**: The Maple's reset line is also
  connected to PB4, which is labeled on the silkscreen as pin 43.
  Thus, attempting to use pin 43 as a GPIO can reset your board.  This
  has other implications.  Since PB4 is also the JTAG NJTRST line,
  this prevents the :ref:`JTAG <jtag>` "reset halt" command from
  working properly.

.. _maple-power-supply:

* **Power supply marketing mistake**: We originally sold the Maple
  advertising that it was capable of supplying up to 800 mA; the
  correct value is 500 mA.

.. _maple-pwm-marketing:

* **PWM marketing mistake**: We originally advertised the Maple as
  having 22 PWM-capable pins; the correct number is 15.

.. _maple-adc-marketing:

* **ADC marketing mistake**: We originally advertised the Maple as
  having 16 analog input pins.  Due to :ref:`the following issue
  <maple-adc-led>`, the correct number is 15.

.. _maple-adc-led:

* **ADC on BOARD_LED_PIN**: We originally sold the Maple RET6 Edition
  advertising 16 analog input lines.  However, one of them (the one on
  pin 13) is also connected to the built-in LED.  The voltage drop
  across the LED means that the analog to digital converter on that
  pin is not really useful.  While it is still usable, its readings
  will be incorrect.


By Rev
^^^^^^

The following subsections lists known issues and warnings for each
revision of the Maple board.

Rev 5
~~~~~

* **Pin 3 AIN missing**: Pin 3 is capable of analog input, but on Rev
  5s manufactured during Fall 2010, the corresponding "AIN" is missing
  from its silkscreen.  This mistake was fixed in later manufacturing
  runs.

Rev 3
~~~~~

* **Pin 3 AIN missing**: Pin 3 is capable of analog input, but the
  corresponding "AIN" is missing from the Rev 3 silkscreen.

.. _maple-rev3-bad-buttons:

* **Bad/Sticky Buttons**: a number of Rev 3 boards sold in May-June 2010
  have questionable RESET and BUT buttons.

  What seems to have happened is that the flux remover we used to
  clean the boards before shipping eroded the plastic internals, which
  resulted in intermittent functionality. All buttons on all shipped
  boards did function in testing, but some may have been unreliable in
  regular use.

  If you have this problem, we will be happy to ship you new buttons
  if you think you can re-solder them yourself, or you can ship us
  your board and we will swap out that part.

  For reference, the button part number is KMR211GLFS and the flux
  remover we used is "Precision Electronics Cleaner" from RadioShack,
  which is "Safe on most plastics" and contains: dipropylene glycol
  monomethyl ether, hydrotreated heavy naphtha, dipropylene glycol
  methyl ether acetate (say that three times fast!), and carbon
  dioxide.

* **Resistors on pins 0 and 1**: these header pins, which are RX/TX on
  USART2 (:ref:`Serial2 <lang-serial>`), have resistors in-line
  between the STM32 and the headers. These resistors increase the
  impedance of the lines for ADC reads and affect the open drain GPIO
  functionality of the pins.

  These resistors were accidentally copied over from older Arduino USB
  designs, where they appear to protect the USB-Serial converter from
  TTL voltage on the headers.

* **Silkscreen Errors**: the silkscreen on the bottom indicated PWM
  functionality on pin 25 and listen the external header GND pin as
  number 38 (actually 38 is connected to the BUT button). We manually
  sharpied over both of these mistakes.

Rev 1
~~~~~

* **ADC noise**: generally very high, in particular when the USB port
  is being used for communications (including keep-alive pings when
  connected to a computer).

  This issue was resolved in Rev 3 with a 4-layer design and a
  :ref:`geometrically isolated ADC Vref plane <maple-adc-bank>`.

* **Resistors on pins 0 and 1**: these header pins, which are RX/TX on
  USART2 (:ref:`Serial2 <lang-serial>`), have resistors in-line
  between the STM32 and the headers. These resistors increase the
  impedance of the lines for ADC reads and affect the open drain GPIO
  functionality of the pins.

  These resistors were accidentally copied over from older Arduino USB
  designs, where they appear to protect the USB-Serial converter from
  TTL voltage on the headers.

* **Silkscreen Differences**: the pin numbering scheme on Rev 1 is
  different from Rev 3, and thus Rev 3 software is difficult to use
  with Rev 1 boards. Notably, the analog input bank is labeled A0-A4
  on Rev 1 but 15-20 on Rev 3, and the extra header bank does not have
  a pinout table on the bottom.

* **No BUT Button**: the BUT button, useful for serial bootloading,
  was only added in Rev 3. As a workaround, you can directly short the
  appropriate MCU pin to Vcc; see `this forum posting
  <http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=32#post-126>`_.
