Overview

USBIOModule is an open-source printed circuit board by 3DES, from the 3DES/WatchdogBoard repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 98.4 × 54.4 mm with 98 parts on 102 nets, routed with 630 tracks and 32 vias.

It is built around the LTV-847S, BC817 and BAT46, with the BSS138 among its other parts. Its parts include 31 diodes, 17 resistors, 16 transistors, 12 capacitors and 8 connectors. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Watchdog PCB, has 8 outputs and 4 inputs. The first output is used as watchdog output and will be switched off if not triggered regularely. Input 0 is the watchdog readback to check if the watchdog can still switch off the output 0 relay.

The relays are powered via USB 5V, what, depending on the used USB cable, can be a bit less sometimes. If you have problems with that change the USB cable or change the layout: modification instruction

Questions

How big is the USBIOModule PCB?

It measures 98.4 × 54.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the USBIOModule use?

98 parts, built around the LTV-847S, BC817, BAT46 and BSS138. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the USBIOModule KiCad files?

From the 3DES/WatchdogBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is WatchdogBoard/PcbProductionData/project/USBIOModule.kicad_pcb and its schematic WatchdogBoard/PcbProductionData/project/USBIOModule.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the USBIOModule design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask 3DES before reusing the design.
