Information for
dimmer development

The purpose of this site is to lower the hurdle of building dimmers and to support developers. For design engineers, planners and small businesses, it publishes the FP01 control board, reference boards, the case and technical specifications. In Japan, facility engineering is also supported.

BOARDS & CASE

Board and component pages

Pages for FP01 itself, the reference boards verified in combination with FP01 (offered as evaluation test boards), input devices and the case. Reference boards are not products for sale; the main board for production is designed and manufactured by the customer for the application.

CORE · PRODUCT

FP01Rev2.1

Common control board for lighting control. Dual MCU with an Arduino UNO R4 compatible RA4M1 and a PSoC 4, controlling phase dimming, relays, PWM dimming and DMX with one command set. Supplied as a set: board, Arduino sketch and PSoC driver. The board size can be adjusted to fit your case.

The 3D animation above uses the same models as the MR9/HDA case page: it shows the finished module, then the order in which the main board and FP01 are assembled into the DIN-rail mounting case. The main board changes each loop: DIMX4 → PWMX4 → RELAYX8 → RS485X.

TECHNICAL SPECS

Technical specification pages

Pages that collect specifications shared across boards, such as the interface between FP01 and the main board. Use them as reference material when designing a main board.

INTERFACE · PIN MAPFFC_Rev2.html

FFC connector specificationFFC_Rev2

Pin map of the 40-pin FFC. Compares UNO R4 and PSoC 4 pin numbers and FP01 signal names with the assignments of DIMX4, PWMX4, RELAYX8 and RS485X.

View page → SYSTEM · WIRINGSYSTEM_Rev03.html

Lighting control system configurationRev03

RS485 connections between the modules in a dimmer panel, switches, input modules, the setup PC / HA and other panels. Wiring diagrams per circuit, cables, terminal blocks and command flow.

View page → PROTOCOL · I²CI2C_Rev13.html

I²C communication specificationRev13

I²C from the Arduino to the PSoC 4, EEPROM, OLED and DMX driver. Addresses and bus speed, the PSoC 4 register map and the byte sequence of each command.
