+ | ===== Explanation ===== | ||
When using the MBHP_Genesis module with a MCU supplied at less than 5V, especially when using several modules in parallel, a buffer circuit will be required between the MCU and the modules. This is a very simple circuit that consists of two 20-pin 74HCT series ICs and two power supply bypass capacitors, and can easily be built on prototyping board. | When using the MBHP_Genesis module with a MCU supplied at less than 5V, especially when using several modules in parallel, a buffer circuit will be required between the MCU and the modules.

Both buffers must be powered from +5V, not +3.3V or whatever the MCU uses. In addition, the MCU must be tolerant of 5V signals being applied to its I/O pins (the CORE_STM32F4 module is tolerant)--otherwise it will damage the MCU! | Both buffers must be powered from +5V, not +3.3V or whatever the MCU uses.

- | Post on the forum or PM me if this is confusing and you want me to draw a schematic. | + | ===== Parts List ===== |
- | A MBHP_Genesis_LS board is included as a breakaway portion of the MBQG_FP front panel board, so anyone purchasing a front panel board gets the level shifter board for free. No other manufactured board will probably be produced for it. |
