"Featured Content Triptych Setup Doc" contains the 3 featured items - image, descriptive text, and button, that you can edit to change the image, text and link/button text as appropriate for this group. If there isn't already a 3-box widget showing on the home page for this group, to display the document, you will need to get someone with Admin rights (one of the Devs or Pauline's team) to add a Wiki Viewer widget for you and insert the url to the document. From then on, you will be able to update the content of that widget by making changes to the document. "Featured Video Setup Doc" lets you embed a video - YouTube, Brightcove, or an image that links to a document somewhere on the site that contains the video - and that can also be put into a Wiki Viewer (in the skinny column) using the url. From then on, that widget can be updated by changing out the image/link or embedded video that is in that document.https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/wireless-power-ii/w/setup/27055/featured-video-setup-docWed, 10 Nov 2021 04:46:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:815c75e2-259d-4fd9-901d-7d4dd444a8beChristyZfeaturedVideohttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/wireless-power-ii/w/setup/27056/featured-content-triptych-setup-docWed, 10 Nov 2021 04:46:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:e888780a-379e-4575-9966-076f57b3cb0fChristyZFeature 1 Sub Title 1 Description for Feature 1 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button Text 1 Feature 2 Sub Title 2 Description for Feature 2 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button Text 2 Feature 3 Sub Title 3 Description for Feature 3 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button 3 Texthttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/wireless-power-ii/w/setupWed, 10 Nov 2021 04:46:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:faa5bcc6-7a32-4fa7-8000-5f6ef1a71bc0https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/wireless-power-ii/m/managed-videos/86045Wed, 27 Oct 2021 14:42:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:18547a36-a01e-4977-99d6-184284b66f46ipv1This is a short video of my submission for the beyond the phone challenge at element14.combeyond_the_phonehttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/wireless-power-ii/m/managed-videos/85893Wed, 27 Oct 2021 14:40:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:07143db2-1055-4a95-bc57-77a5fadcff07waelectIn this blog, I describe some of the functionality and get totally jacked off with a cheap scope.My words are getting mucked up occasionally, I think I will be try preproduction instead of spontaneous gabbling.

After some Customs and UPS delivery delays, it arrived. One concern I had was that since the kit was dispatched from the USA, the power plug and voltage may not suit our angled pins and 230v AC. rather than the what we use So as I feared the kit includes the wrong pings, but the voltage is 110/230 so it will fit with a travel adaptor which I thought we had ... but I can't find it if we do have one laying around. Option 2 I checked and I did have some other 5v USB outlets that claim to be 1.2A but in reality the voltage tends to fall to the lower end of an acceptable USB voltage. Placing the Receiver onto the unit, D5 flashes but not much else. A bit of digging around in the Tx spec sheet suggests it flashes when transfer is occurring (I would hate to use that output as the Buzzer as the chip data suggests) The Rx or part of the load gets warm, but no pretty red LED's. Since there are 4 parts to this kit, establishing where the problem lays is a process that needs to be done. Its no different to sorting out whats wrong with your car ... narrow it down an bit and you have a better chance of fixing it. POWER Its always a good idea to see if you have power. TI have placed labelled test points on the kit that you can get a meter onto ....well done. The meter verified there was 5v which dropped to 4.8 or so, but when D5 flashed (ie when the load came on) so that's not the issue. Jumpers Try to establish what jumpers should be where is a little hard. The images are not quite big enough to be very clear, and the smallish image shows where the jumpers should be if the LED load isn't in place .... but does the load board emulate this.? Document http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/sluua44a/sluua44a.pdf gives the settings which showed JP6 needed to be shifted to the Fixed position, as per the image copied from the User guide http://www.we-online.de/web/en/index.php/show/media/07_electronic_components/produkte_3/wireless_power/Wireless_Power_Kit_Solution.pdf hard to see but is in the middle of the board and should be on the two lower pins. community.element14.com/.../contentimage_5F00_52538.html Looking at the Load board three of the zero ohm resistors have been removed (R2, R3, and R6) and the flux residue suggests this is post production. The remainders emulate the jumper settings shown (as if the LED board wasn't used) and these match the spec sheet. The TX board has placeholders labelled JP1 and JP2 BUT these aren't jumpers they are connections for Temp sensor and Ext LED. This annoys me since the receiver uses JP for jumpers and plain J for connectors, yet the Tx board uses both for connectors ... Both items find themselves used as a pair so it stands to reason to use the same terminology. ..... more documentation checking required Mr TI. Voltages Some of the TI documents for this kit and receiver refer to using 19v going into the TX. Clearly the cut and paste failed to pick it up, as the transmitter markings show 5v, and some of the other documents also state 5v .... so Mr TI, you might need to review your documentation and stop confusing the buyers. Having established that its 5v In and 5v OUT to the load, the next check was am I getting that. A quick check with a meter showed that 5v give or take some fluctuations was being generated at the output of the receiver unit with the load attached, but still no red leds. LED Load Board I tried searching for some information on the board PMP8603 Rev A, but alas I failed. I got a nice picture which detailed some of the parts used, and that's about it. The board has a very nice inductor and some connectors and leds. Checking the Leds showed they all work or illuminate, and feeding 5v into the Vin and Gnd resulted in nothing. Looking at the underside and comparing the picture community.element14.com/.../contentimage_5F00_52539.html My board seems to have C3 populated, which is in parallel with C2. There are 4 groups of 11 LEDs in series and from the spec sheet, the Fb (voltage) is 1.9v meaning that 5v wont light them up. The chip has to boost the voltage to around more than 20v before passing thru a 798 ohm resistor. I could only measure 7.6v out of U1 (the marking is SF98) which I can't find any information for. I assume its a booster converter and certainly is wired that way. So until I can identify the boost IC and replace it, my LED's won't light. Verification If anyone would care to check the jumper settings, and the voltage being delivered to the load board, I'd be grateful. If Wurth could provide the schematic that would also be useful. Mark edit 05 Apr 2014 . I have obtained a travel adapter and tried using the supplied power pack, with the same results (ie no LED's) and voltages in the 6.5-7 v instead of the 20 odd volts. Hendrik has kindly provided the link to the converter chip. My board has an extra capacitor at C3 which shouldn't cause an issue as its on the output, however a schematic would prove very useful.wireless_powerbeyond_the_phone
