Is there a schematic for the PiFace interface board

Former Member over 11 years ago

Got my PiFace working straight away.. I'd like to have a proper schematic like the one that came with my Raspberry-Pi.

Thanks,
JQ

Ditto James.

Any chance of a reply from Andrew Robinson or anybody at Element 14?

Replied on the other thread, see here for the schematic (not block diagram):

Thanks shabaz. Your link refers to the PiFace Digital though and not the PiFace Control and Display.

Best effort to date was by John Alexander using 'Johnny Cad'.
PIFace Control & Display Tear Down

Thanks Mark. Johnny's tear down is useful. I guess the conclusion to be reached is that PiFace is not an open hardware brand. Strange given their origin and chosen market sector but a pity nonetheless.

Nah The PI Face Display my diagram is right except for may be an interrupt on a pin.
I also found my Pi Face digital in the box and had a quick look ...UM more links and more LEDs than the diagram how much else is wrong God knows ??

Yes it is strange.
They also had a strange way of releasing the other one ... it was in a blog at one point.

Poor old 'JohnnyCad' may have lost something in the translation.

Is there something in particular we might be able to help with.?

Morning Mark/Johnny.
No not at the moment - but thanks anyway.

I think with the 'Johnny CAD' archive for the PiFace Control and Display and the clearly dubious schematic for the PiFace Digital floating around I have seen enough!

Thanks again guys.
