RC11-2 board query

Hardware Section Control
1

Hi,
I have just had my RC11-2 boards arrive from JLCPCB. I used all the supplied files on github and while I had to rotate all the header banks for the teensy to align (they were all 90° out), and the grove connector for cytron is wrong, theyre looking good I think.

I am in the process of testing my first one before going to the effort of doing any wiring, and my question is about the Teensy header locations. The way the banks are laid out there is 2 pins on each side that arent plugged in. Is this normal? Is it ok?
Attached is a photo of the gaps.

If anyone has any tips or wisdoms for someone embarking on their first RC board set up and use, feel free to help out! My inital plans is to use it just for section control to replace my Rinex section control system, and then later let it replace my TeeJet 844 controller.

First test of the RC11 housing printed in PLA on my Ender 3, I think I will outsource that job to JLC and let them resin print it at about $100 a throw…

The gaps are normal. JLC doesn’t have the right header for a Teensy.

Thanks, thought best to confirm before pressing on.

My next questions!

I have flashed my teensy, and plugged my ethernet in to a cable I know works, as it worked with my v4.5 board minute’s before, how can I make sure my board is actually connected? Will it show up in AgIO?

I also have the D1 LED under the ethernet port solidly illuminated, is this an indicator of power or an error of some kind? I also seem to be missing a chip “MCP2562-E-P” is that required for just section control?

I apologise for the barrage of questions, its a bit less straight forward than a regular board to get going I think.

Did you find a solution? I think i have the same problem

Hello,

did you by any chance make PR for updated CPL file for 90 degrees update?

Also C5 seems unmatched even I found it with code listed on Github. I am also working to order RC11 boards.

For previous questions, the MCP2562-E-P seems to be CAN bus transceiver, might only be useful if CAN bus is needed in the application.

In schematics, you see LED D1 below the CAN chip.. It is connected be between +5V and GND, so it would be just indicating the +5V power rail is good.
