M0dularis+ Controller with µBCU
Developer Alexander Christian
Status/Current Version Working and stable / Version 1.1
µC Atmel/Microchip SAMD21G18J
KNX Siemens BCU / Micro BCU


Description

Controller-Board, mainly designed for OKW 4TE REG case, but also useable with anything else that fits. Can be used with Siemens BCU and Eugen's µBCU. Uses the powerful SAMD21 microcontroller from Microchip/Atmel and has optional I²C EEPROM and SPI Flash.


Hardware

This controller uses the same microcontroller IC as the Arduino Zero (https://store.arduino.cc/usa/arduino-zero). So you can use it almost the same way. The only difference:

  • no EDBG connector
  • different formfactor and connectors
  • and therefore, partially different pins

Features

The design principle was: Get the most of out of the Arduino Zero (wrt Pins and Features) and fit into the modular concept of KONNEKTING. Everything that is not available, can be added via I2C or SPI or UART. So even if there are not much PWM capable pins available (which won't let you build a 16 channel PWM dimmer), you can add PWM via I2C. Same counts for general purpose IO pins.

  • 11 pins with external interrupt
  • 8 pins with PWM up to 10bit (more pins and up to 16bit when using this library [1])
  • up to 3x SPI
  • up to 3x UART
  • up to 3x I2C

You can configure different settings via solder-jumper (SJ):

  • IO3: D12 or A0
  • IO2: D10 or A2
  • Application connector: 5V or 3.3V
  • Frontend connector: 5V or 3.3V
  • I2C (on IO0/IO1): PullUp or NoPullUp

OnBoard Connections

  • ProgButton*: D15 (/ A1 [EIC8])
  • ProgLED: D19 (/ A5)
  • BCU Save: D17 (/ A3 [EIC4])
  • BCU Reset: Solder jumper for connecting SAMD-RESET and BCU-RESET Pin
  • ExtInt TOP*: D38 ([EIC13])
  • SPI Flash
    • CS: D9
    • DO/IO1: PA12 / D22 MISO

Developer Documentation

How to use SPI Flash

I recommend to use this SPI Flash Library: https://github.com/Marzogh/SPIFlash

You need to explicitly tell the library the CS-Pin:

1// set CS pin to D9
2SPIFlash flash(9);

For testing, you can use https://github.com/Marzogh/SPIFlash/tree/development/examples/TestFlash and modify the said line to use the custom CS pin D9.
