Revision as of 03:16, 5 April 2012

The StrichLux IO-DMX module will provide one universe of DMX for the StrichLux system, and can be used as either an input module or an output module.

2012-04-04: Wishbone interface for DMX transmitter complete, as is mux for sharing the bus between SPI and DMX. Controller is the last Verilog piece pending.
2012-04-03: Verilog for DMX transmitter complete and tested in simulator.
2012-03-17: Schematic complete and checklist checked, starting and finished board layout/routing, CAM done, submitted to Laen for PCB manufacturing. Parts still need to be ordered.
2012-03-15: BOM is complete, schematic almost complete.
2012-03-14: Started schematizing/putting BOM together.

State INIT
- Send READ command to Core Board w/ address 0
- Enable DMX Transmission
- State change to DMXWAIT
State DMXWAIT
- Wait for DMX "ready for channel data" interrupt
State SPIREAD
- Read 1 byte of data from Core Board
- Send 1 byte of data to DMX output via Wishbone
- Increment channel counter
- State change to DMXWAIT if counter == 511
- State change to IPDWAIT if not
State IPDWAIT
- Wait for inter-packet delay time
- State change to INIT
