Replacement Board for deAgostini Millennium Falcon
Overview
Figure 1 Board Diagram
The board uses an Arduino Nano as a control computer.
16 channels are provided via the I2C bus, 10 of which are for free use, 2 channels control the ramp
and the spotlight, 1 channel controls the driving light and 1 channel serves as a "heartbeat" indicator.
Serial channels control the Bluetooth and Sound modules.
For the ramp control an ATTINY13 is used, so that in case of a failure of the Nanos the ramp does not
run over the end stops.
The Neopixel module is controlled by an ATTINY85 - so that the Nano is not burdened with the
elaborate NEO pixel LED protocol.

Replacement Board SERIES3 De Agostini Millennium Falcon
Each of the 10 freely available channels can be used with max. 4A burdened.
The power supply voltage is applied to all channels.

GND - switched by Q1
If the channel is activated via app, the mosfet Q1 switches the connection CH1-1 to GND.
This will route power supply voltage from CON#PWR (VCC1) to CH1-2 through the connected load.
The pin assignments for channels 1-10 are identical to those on the deAgostini board.

Hints
•All channel power connections jumper set to power supply voltage
•The 5V step-down module comes with a heat sink, which should be mounted when 3A
power is required - during normal operation without additional loads, the heat sink is not
needed.
Figure 4 Step-Down-Modul
•The 6 pin connector is for the Nano and is not normally needed.
•The mounting holes in the board must be drilled out with a 2.5mm drill bit
•When connecting non-original deAgostini lighting, pay attention to the values of the
lighting set - voltage, current, pin assignment.
The board is pin-compatible with the deAgostini board.
