Phil, or anyone else, is there a complete working schematic/parts list for the latest Renard? The one on ComputerChristmas seems dated compared to the info discussed here.

And it is different from the co-op board Phil has posted, and most of the others here are using RS485 now.

zaker,

The schematic on cc.com isn't particularly dated, in the sense that it is not intended to represent any given board. That is sort of a generic schematic, which people are supposed to take as a starting point for their own design (rather than the end point).

What you are really looking for, I think, is the schematic for specific PCBs. The latest schematic for a 64-port version of Renard is here, about three posts from the bottom of the page, and is a bit dated in that it represents the state of that particular board at that time. The reference designators are wrong on that schematic, and it doesn't include the LEDs and associated current limit resistors, or ESD devices that are on the board as it sits now. It probably won't be updated until and unless it goes out for fab, because otherwise it will be chasing a moving target.

There isn't any schematic for the 8-channel version that I am noodling with in another topic, although I will create one if that board goes out for fab.

I'm not sure where the schematic for the xmus board (16-channels with integrated SSRs) is located.

I hope this helps.

That's more what I'm looking for. Something with the RS485 setups.

I can layout the boards, but with some of the changes I haven't been following everything since the beginning, I needed a good starting point!

Thanks Phil!
