Hi,
I have a simple issue : I have a combinaison of RAK 4631 + RAK 5005-0 + RAK 1920 (no part have been modified at all, all is brand new) and I still don’t know why, but the 3V3_S and VDD seems linked.
As I was trying to connect a QWIIC sensor, I saw that it was powered even when IO2 is low, I disconnected it and with my ohmmeter I tested every link. I found that VDD and 3V3_S are linked when RAK 1920 is plugged.
Any idea ?
Regards
Welcome back @Batto
I checked the schematics and there is a bug on the RAK1920. 3V3 and 3V3_S are connected to each other, which should not be. Unfortunately it cannot be changed (no 0 Ohm resistors there).
I reported to R&D, but on the current PCB’s it is like this.
Sorry for that.
Uuhh in the official doc, it’s not this schematic :
It might be updated, but there might be versions out that have the connection.
But they have a different version number ? Mine is “Ver. A”
Is there any chance I can cut a trace to correct the problem on this version ?
The changed boards (I checked, it was corrected 10 months ago) will have Ver B. But I am afraid there was a lot of stock and they were still sold.
It is not possible to cut a trace, the wrong connection between 3V3 and 3V3_S is below the IO connector.
Yes even if I’m used with SMD it’s a little bit tricky ^^’
I bought it months ago so it’s not so crazy to think I was an early adopter.
Anyway I was interested in QWIIC connectoc and the new dedicated WisBlock is more interesting so …
Thanks
If you need a QWIIC connector, this might be a better solution: QWIIC Module RAK13009.
On that one we didn’t make the mistake with 3V3 and 3V3_S
Yes I was talking about it
