1. Introduction

The Terminate2 module is a dual RoboBricks2 bus terminatator. It can be used to terminate either or both ends of a RoboBricks2 cable. In addition, via jumpers, this module can be converted into a RoboBricks2 splice module.

2. Hardware

The hardware consists of a circuit schematic and a printed circuit board.

2.1 Circuit Schematic

The schematic for the Terminate2 Module is shown below:

The parts list kept in a separate file -- terminate2.ptl.

2.2 Printed Circuit Board

The printed circuit board files are listed below:

3. Issues

The following issues came up:

• One end of R2 connects to J3-3 (correct) and the other end connects to N2-6 (incorrect). It should be N2-5. There is no easy board patch for this one.
