Hello,

I have a TMP117 sensor EK- RA6M5 test setup on my desk, but the IIC0 bus channel doesn’t work for me when I use Pin group B (407 SDA, 408 SCL), but when I switch to Pin group A (401 SDA, 400 SCL), it works OK.

I need it to work with Pin Group B because pins 401 and 400 are used for another purpose on my board.

Please see attached screenshots of my setup.

Thank you in advance!

    Hello,

    The P407 pin in the EK-RA6M5 board is applied as the USB VBUS control pin according to the schematics diagram

    As you can know there are pull-down resistors R26 and capacitor C59 which probably cause malfunctioning of the I2C interface.

    However, you can test to apply the different channels of the IIC machine or the SCI module in the I2C mode, If pins P400 and P401 are already in use.

    Kind regards,

    Alex

Hey, I am creating a smash barrier controller with ESP32 SX1276 LoRa microcontroller, and I require a 5V external power force, but I can not find anywhere which pin of 5V is the VIN one, I do not want to ruin my module, so does anyone know this particular module and which of the 5V pins is the VIN one? I have uploaded the board setup for reference purposes. If you want any extra information please let me know.

Thank You

Alex Thomas

    Hello, They are likely both connected to the Vin signal; check with a multimeter if there is continuance between the two pins if you want to make sure. Thank You Nidhi Singh

Dear Volt Team,

We’ve some questions related to the product/ manufacturing of custom boards using RA4M2 MCU.

1. Is multiple boards flashing at a time supported? If yes, please share the documents for the tools and configuration.

2. How do we handle the MD pin in case of multiple board flashing, without manual intervention?

Regards & Thanks,

AG

    Hello Ashish,

    Thanks for sharing your question with Volt.Tech Engineering Community!
    Yes, you can program multiple devices with Renesas Flash Programmer. For Renesas Flash Programmer’s latest performances from V3.05.00 or later you can create a single design and specify the serial number of each emulator( E1 emulator/ E2/ E2 Lite) in the tool option when starting RFP via command.

    You can find all the necessary tools, manuals, and documents.
    https//www.renesas.com/us/en/software-tool/renesas-flash-programmer-programming-gui#overview

    As far as it concerns the MD pin then’s the suggested connection from the RA4M2 hardware manual for JTAG, SWD, and Serial Programming


    Generally, this pin should be high in debug mode and low when programming the device( flashing).
    Then there’s a different manual for e2 programmers.

    https//www.renesas.com/document/man/e2-emulator-e2-emulator-lite-additional-document-users-manual-notes-connection-ra-devices-0
    And let us know!

Hi, I was looking at a schematic that uses the STMPS2161, and the FAULT pin is pulled up to VIN (open drain), still, it isn’t being read. Is it necessary to pull up this pin if it’ll not used or can it be left floating?

    Welcome, to the community! The FAULT pin of the STMPS2161 is only used to signal an error. However, you can simply leave it open and unconnected, If you don't query it anyway and therefore do without this signaling. Does it answer your question? Regards Ashish

Hello everyone, When using the XCOUT pin as normal input, and also power on, the pin is always low position and it’s set to pull up externally. why? Can anyone tell me? ( By the way, XCIN is ok).

    Hi, You should add the Clock Generation Circuit stack in the Stacks tab of RA Smart Configurator and configure the pins as follows. Also, the pins are configured as XCIN and XCOUT. Let us know if you have further issues. Regards

I’ve read quite a bit about needing a resistor when powering a 5 mm LED from an esp32 GPIO pin, still, other experts say that if a LED is powered right, it will not need a resistor at all will not burn out.

1. Is it as easy as purchasing a LED that’s powered properly for an esp32 GPIO pin so that it will not probably burn out in a reasonable amount of time( years)?
2. Still, what’s the current on each GPIO pin? ( I know that the voltage on each GPIO pin is 3, If so.3 V)
3. Rather than adding a resistor, I can add a second LED parallel to add resistance and meet the power requirements, right?

Thanks!

    The maximum power per pin is 40mA. You shouldn't push more than 150 mA through all your output pins( and probably less than that to avoid overheating).

    The maximum power per pin is 40mA. You shouldn’t push more than 150 mA through all your output pins( and probably less than that to avoid overheating). You can find the correct resistor value using any led resistor calculator online and the datasheet for your led. I do not see how parallel resistors will be useful if you’re powering directly through the pin, and you do not have to get the exact resistance calculated. However, you should have a transistor gating a separate power supply for the light, If you need more than milliamps.
