Overview

Project page for monitoring beehives

REFP tied to VDD REFN tied to ground
GAIN0 and GAIN1 on the ADS should be tied to high
ADS-Pin01-DVDD to Artik-Pin32-DC_5V_12V
ADS-Pin02-DGND to Artik-Pin20-GND
ADS-Pin05-DGND to Artik-Pin20-GND
ADS-Pin06-DGND to Artik-Pin20-GND
ADS-Pin25-SPEED to Artin-Pin20-GND
- Purpose: Tie to low so that Speed will be 10SPS
ADS-Pin02-DGND to Artik-Pin13-AINP3
- Purpose: Tied to GND, unused
ADS-Pin02-DGND to Artik-Pin16-AINP4
- Purpose: Tied to GND, unused
ADS-Pin03-CLKIN to GND
- Intent: Tie to ground to tell chip to use internal oscillator. Will this mess up using SCLK?
ADS-Pin03-SCLK to Artik-Pin39-XGPIO28
- Intent: This will cycle the clock on the ADS to instruct it to bit shift?
ADS-Pin07-A1 to Artik-Pin20-GND
- Intent: There will never be more than two sets of bridges to read in this design. Set to 0 so that ADS-Pin08-A0 will always select between two MUX inputs vs. four MUX Inputs.
ADS-Pin08-A0 to Artik-Pin58-XGPIO12
- Purpose: This will select the MUX for which bridge input is being read
ADS-Pin28-DOUT to Artik-Pin68-GPIO1
- Purpose: For the Artik board to read in the digital hi\low signals from the ADS1234
ADS-Pin26-PDWN to Artik-Pin##-GPIO2

EnterPowerDownMode
- Description: This method will set the Artik pin tied to PDWN low, and should be the last interaction with the ADS1234 pins from Artik until it is ready to read the weight of the scale again. This mode offers significant power savings over StandbyMode on the digital power side of the chip
