============
General Info: This is a project under development. So please treat the design as non functional until proven otherwise.
PentaFnord is designed to provide a cheap moodlight with RGB, white and ultraviolet illumination. A variety of configuration alternatives are provided to match your individual sweet spot between cost, functionality and quality of LEDs to be used.

##PentaFnord Control Board (PFCB) BOM is valid for versions 0.9 and 0.91 of the PFCB. Version 0.91 just provides some minor superficial improvements but is in principle identical to 0.9.

If you get the PCBs cheap for about € 1 in a bigger production run, an average PFCB should cost about € 5.40 to € 7.65, depending on the configuration.
For installations with several modules in a fixed configuartion (e. g. a lightbar with 10 modules) a striped down version of the PCB with big solderpads for Vcc, GND and bus signal lines can be used to reduce cost further (save on RJ45 connectors and MAX487 driver circuits).
##PentaFnord LED Board - Version 0.9 (PFLB_0.9) BOM is valid for version 0.91 of the PFCB. Version 0.9 had some errors.

This gives you a price per LED module from € 10.30 to € 12.30. You might reduce the price by using other LEDs.
###Assembly Considerations - PFCB_0.9
###First-time Operation - PFCB_0.9
- Check for short circuits on +18V and +5V against GND
- Gently apply apply power to +18V
- Check on one of the two unmarked wirepads between PB2 and PB3 if +5V ist present
- Connect your favourite programmer and check if the uC is responding
- avrdude -c usbtiny -p m48
- should give: avrdude: safemode: Fuses OK etc.
- Set fuses for 20MHz crystal and brownout detection (Full Swing Crystal high delay) brownout at 4.3V
- avrdude -c usbtiny -p m48 -U lfuse:w:0xc7:m -U hfuse:w:0xdc:m -U efuse:w:0x01:m
- Readout fuses with avrdude -c usbtiny -p m48 -v
- Standard Fuses are 0x62 0xDF 0x01
- New Value should be 0xC7 0xDC 0x01
- Brownout at 2.7 V is 0xC7 0xDD 0x01 (NOT RECOMMENDED)
- The print denoting pin 1 and 6 of jumper 2 is wrong. Pin 1 is actualy beneath C2 and pin 6 is on the side of the board with all the solderpads for the ports. This is fixed in 0.91
- Always solder C3 after JP1, one of the pins is hard to reach
- ripped some solderpads of when trying to unsolder JP2 (it was slightly ill adjusted)
- be very carefull here
- it was just the line connecting SPARE_C5, so this is not a pressing problem, but the solderpad for PC5 might not work.
- Another ripped of solderpad for GND was easy to fix.
- The SMD pinheaders are difficult to solder, as there is a small gap between pin and solderpad wich has to be filled with tin first to allow the solderpad to heat up.
- Was to lazy to read the manual thorouhghly and did set DEBUGWIRE fuse bit (fuses f7 9d 01).
- Chip became unprogrammable (at least in target hardware). So NEVER EVER DO THIS!
- Exchanged the uC by resoldering a fresh one.
- A test program switching an LED between +5V and PortB1 (with resistor) on and off didn't work, while brownout detection was set to 4.3 V, albeit programming the uC and setting fuses was still possible and everything worked well when Brownout was set to 2.7 V (0xC7 0xDD 0x01).
- Diagnosis:
- There was a small ripple of 100mV for 10ns in power supply when the LED was switched on. Uncritical.
- Some pins of the uC, especially pin 6 (one of the two +5V pins), pin 18 (AVCC), and pin 24 (ADC1) seemed to have (or actually had) a gap between pin and solderpad. Not good.
- Solution: Resoldering pins 1-8 and 17-24 solved the issue.
- a bit screwed, FETs needed, Jumper T2 is wrong so that PORTC3 connects always to ground
- Jumper T2 is wrong so that PORTC3 connects always to ground
###Example Board PFCB_0.9-Devel
This is the Experimental Development and Debug Configuration and is the first board that was ever built. There is currently only this one board built so far: PFCB#001. Lots of the annotations in the "Bugs Encountered" section gut input from this unit.
###Parts List - PFLB_0.9
TODO list all the parts!
###Assembly Considerations - PFLB_0.9
CAVE: The schematics and hence the board design PFLB_0.9 has some serious bugs.
So this version will be discontinued. To make this design work anyway, the board has to be tweaked and some minor hardware hacks are required.
