How to Use IndusBoard: Examples, Pinouts, and Specs

The IndusBoard Coin V2 is a versatile development board designed for industrial applications. It features multiple I/O options, robust power management, and compatibility with various communication protocols. This board is ideal for developing and prototyping industrial automation systems, IoT devices, and other embedded applications.

Common Applications:

• Industrial automation
• IoT (Internet of Things) devices
• Embedded systems development
• Prototyping and testing of industrial equipment

1. Powering the Board:

   • Connect the VIN pin to a power source (7-12V recommended).
   • Alternatively, you can power the board via the USB port.

2. Connecting I/O Devices:

   • Digital I/O: Connect your digital sensors or actuators to the digital pins (D0-D13).
   • Analog Input: Connect your analog sensors to the analog input pins (A0-A5).

3. Communication:

   • UART: Use pins D0 (RX) and D1 (TX) for serial communication.
   • I2C: Use pins A4 (SDA) and A5 (SCL) for I2C communication.

• Ensure that the input voltage does not exceed the recommended limits to avoid damaging the board.
• Use appropriate pull-up or pull-down resistors for digital inputs to ensure stable readings.
• When using PWM outputs, be mindful of the current limits to prevent overheating.
• For reliable communication, use proper shielding and grounding techniques, especially in industrial environments.

1. Board Not Powering On:

   • Solution: Check the power connections and ensure the input voltage is within the recommended range.

2. Digital I/O Not Responding:

   • Solution: Verify the connections and ensure the correct pin numbers are used in the code. Check for proper pull-up or pull-down resistors.

3. Analog Readings Are Inaccurate:

   • Solution: Ensure the analog sensors are properly connected and calibrated. Check for electrical noise and use proper shielding.

4. Communication Issues (UART/I2C):

   • Solution: Verify the wiring and ensure the correct baud rate (for UART) or address (for I2C) is used. Check for proper grounding and shielding.

Q1: Can I use the IndusBoard Coin V2 with an Arduino UNO? A1: Yes, the IndusBoard Coin V2 is compatible with the Arduino UNO. You can use the Arduino IDE to program the board.

Q2: What is the maximum current that can be drawn from the 5V and 3.3V pins? A2: The maximum current that can be drawn from the 5V pin is 500 mA, and from the 3.3V pin is 50 mA.

Q3: How do I reset the board? A3: You can reset the board by pressing the RESET button or by connecting the RESET pin to GND momentarily.

// Example code to blink an LED connected to pin 13

void setup() {
  // Initialize digital pin 13 as an output.
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
  // Wait for a second
  delay(1000);
  // Turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);
  // Wait for a second
  delay(1000);
}
