From the project
Adapter PCB to connect Watti LED driver boards via RJ45 cables to MGP signal decoders. The adapter board supports connecting multiple RJ45 loops in a chain.
Adapter PCB to connect Watti LED driver boards via RJ45 cables to MGP signal decoders. The adapter board supports connecting multiple RJ45 loops in a chain.
The control signal from the signal decoder consists of three wires, a ground and power line, and a single data wire. The signals are passed on to the RJ45 cables:
LED on driver boards are controlled by the physical ordering on the data signal line. To order signals in a specific ordering, the RJ45 pinout supports returning the data signal from one RJ45 cable and pass it to the next. The last Watti LED driver must have the jumper JR1 set…
