Below is a summary of the schematic changes for your complete 4-terminal digital multimeter front-end. You can use the "Apply changes" button to add these schematic updates to your Flux project:
Terminal/Input Section:
-
Input Jacks:
-
Fuse Protection:
- Add a PTC fuse (rated 500 mA) on the µA/mA path
- Example: PTC Fuse 500 mA.
- Add a Ceramic fuse (rated 10 A) on the 10A path
- Example: Ceramic Fuse 10A.
- Add a PTC fuse (rated 500 mA) on the µA/mA path
Shunt / Current Measurement Block:
- Shunt Resistors (for differential measurement via ADS1115 AIN0-AIN1):
- Range Selection:
- Incorporate a rotary switch or relay network (driven by ESP32 GPIO) to select which shunt is connected. Only one shunt branch should be active at any time.
Voltage Measurement Block:
- Voltage Divider:
- Buffer Stage:
- Buffer the divider output using a precision rail-to-rail op-amp such as OPA333.
- Input Protection & Filtering:
- ADC Connection:
- Connect the filtered and buffered voltage to ADS1115 AIN2.
Resistance (Ohmmeter) Measurement Block:
- Ohmmeter Circuit:
- Utilize the JP_VO terminal also for resistance measurements.
- Implement a circuit using a 1 kΩ reference resistor (R1k) connected between the 3.3 V supply and the measurement terminal.
- Sense the voltage drop across the unknown resistor via an ADC channel to compute resistance using the divider formula.
- Isolation:
- Include a GPIO-controlled switch (using a relay or a transistor switch) to disconnect the ohmmeter voltage divider when not in ohmmeter mode.
ESP32 and ADS1115 Interface Block:
- ESP32 Microcontroller:
- Use an ESP32-WROOM-32 for controlling the system.
- ADS1115 ADC:
- Connect the ADS1115 (16-bit ADC) to the ESP32 via I²C lines (SDA and SCL).
- Add appropriate I²C pull-up resistors (e.g., 4.7 kΩ) for SDA and SCL.
- Power the ADS1115 with the 3.3 V supply from the ESP32.
- Power Decoupling:
Interconnection and Labeling:
- Net Names:
- Clearly label nets such as
SHUNT_100,SHUNT_1,SHUNT_0.01,ADC_AIN0,ADC_AIN1,ADC_AIN2,I2C_SDA,I2C_SCL,V_DIV_OUT, etc.
- Clearly label nets such as
- Grounding:
- Route all ground connections to the common Ground component from the Flux library.
- Range Selector:
- Add a multi-position switch (rotary switch or relay array) with positions: OFF, V/Ω, µA, mA, 10A. Ensure that only the path for the selected measurement mode is connected to the ADS1115 or reference circuitry.
Schematic Block Organization:
- Power Block:
- Contains the ESP32, ADS1115 decoupling, and 3.3 V supply connections.
- Terminal Block:
- Provides input jacks with fuses and proper labeling.
- Shunt Switching Block:
- Houses the shunt resistors and the switching mechanism for current measurements.
- Voltage Measurement Block:
- Implements the voltage divider, op-amp buffer, and protection/filter network.
- Ohmmeter Block:
- Implements the resistor divider used for resistance measurements with a bypass switch.
- ADC Interface Block:
- Connects the ADS1115 to all sensor outputs and manages I²C interfacing with the ESP32.
This design ensures clear separation between measurement modes, proper low-current sensing via differential ADC inputs, and comprehensive protection circuitry (including fusing and ESD protection) for safe and testable PCB layout in Flux.
