Removable crystal build with Blade Detect and Blade ID sanity check

Vendigroth · August 11, 2022, 4:36am

Hi everyone.
I’m building one of the Goth3D’s grand master chassis with proffie 2.2 and currently going through wiring planning and mockup.

I’m here for a sanity check, a couple of questions, and to see if anyone has any pointers or advice.

This chassis has removable crystals that have 6 pads that can go to 2 pixel LEDs and an ID resistor.
My plan is to treat the crystal as a ‘removable blade’. Use Data 1 for Blade ID and wire an ID resistor between data1(16) and LED1(13) Pin inside the crystal part that gets removed.
And for Blade detect use Data4 and also wire it to LED1(13) pad that is used for ID and Pixel negative inside the crystal.

Questions:
Any reason that same LED1(13) Pin won’t work for both blade ID through a resistor and Blade Detect directly ?
Should I add a pull up Resistor between 3.3v Pin and Data1 for ExternalPullupBladeID workaround?
Any concerns with that if I’m also driving a small LED from that 3.3v. Since it’s just a pullup I’m assuming it should be OK.

I have a crude diagram I drew for myself to keep things organized that might help visualize:

If anyone would like a cleaner version and has software in mind I can clean it up. I like sketching things on ‘paper’ for myself.

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions I’d appreciate them.
Thanks for taking a look.

It should work fine.

You shouldn’t need it, but it will make the values more stable and predictable.
With ExternalPullupBladeID, you should get ID values which are close to the resistor values. With the default blade ID, you have to test it to see what ID values you get, but it should still work.

In general. I don’t recommend using the 3.3v pad for anything unless you specifically need 3.3 volts. A small 20mA (or less) LED should be fine though.

Checking circuit diagrams (and not miss anything) is quite difficult, but I haven’t spotted anything wrong yet. However, I will offer one thought:

It seems like you could save one pin on the chassis connector by wiring the two buttons to BATT+ and use the PullDownButton class.

Also, you probably want to connect the two BATT+ pins together on the chassis side for better power sharing.

I can contribute this from a config file I did for a guy doing that in his build, but there was also a motor, and we used SnapshotBladeID. It might help?

Yup, it’s just a small 3mm 2.2v 20mA one.
I think battery positive terminal might actually be easier to wire in this specific chassis so I might do just that.

Oh good suggestion! Aesthetically I still need all the pins in that connector, but not dragging a GND/BATT- over could possibly free up some space to bump the gauge on the main blade power wires.

Power sharing? As in to get more conductor for the power? am I understanding this correctly?
I was planning on giving the blade power at least it’s own 22AWG wire and motor it’s own.
And in general making all connections as close to the battery as possible and avoiding splices.
Guess it won’t hurt to have a bridge at the pins.

Yes! This definitely helps. Looks to be the same build – speaker LED, accent strips, motor and all.
This is pretty much exactly what I’m going for here! That’s a great jumping off point.

Gave me an idea to move the “Arc reactor” pixel as a SubBlade at the end of the accent LED strips since they’re both WS281. Lets the main blade data be a straight run from the board to the pins and on to the blade.
I’ll try to go for ExternalPullupBladeID, but if low on space SnapshotBladeID sounds like a good backup as well.

Again, thanks a lot for the help.

I just mean that both things that are using the + lead would share connection pins. I’m not sure what the other red wire goes to, but I doubt it would draw as much power as the blade, so essentially you would allow for more current going to the blade by bonding the two together.
