Overview

K Aries is an open-source printed circuit board by F6ITU, from the F6ITU/K_Aries repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 220 × 160 mm with 275 parts on 186 nets, routed with 1,866 tracks and 257 vias.

It is built around the LM358, TPIC6595N and 74HCT04D, with the LM1117S-3.3, LM1117S-5.0 and BAS16J among its other parts. Its parts include 98 capacitors, 52 diodes, 48 resistors, 21 switches and 17 connectors. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Aries, an OpenHPSDR ATU (kicad version)

The golden fleece ram (Aries in Latin, Chrysomallos -Χρυσόμαλλος- in ancien Greek) has been send by Hermes (codename of the first "mono board" OpenHPSDR) to save Phrixos and Hellé. After his death, his remains (the golden fleece) was conquered by Jason and the Argonauts

Aries, an OpenHPSDR ATU

This repository is a fork of the Aries ATU project designed by Kjell Karlsen LA2NI and Laurence Barker G8NJJ.

The original work can be downloaded from

https://github.com/LA2NI/

https://github.com/laurencebarker

A French version of the main documentation and user's note could be found in the "Documentation" directory (still work in progress)

Main differences are :

    • DIL footprint for the I2C ram (hard to find in SOIC package)
    • R19 trace bug corrected
    • input-output coax connector changed (Amphenol bnc straight with reference)
    • F-CU ground "forbiden zone" modified around tandem match output (R42-E42-R1-R2 of the original design)
    • dual footprint for 12V input J4 (Molex kk 2.54mm and Phoenix high current "board to wire" connector)
    • same Tianbo TRA2 L-12VDC-S-Z relay (or Omron G2R-1-E DC12) used for antenna switch ( Total relay count is 21 Tinabo TRA2/Omron G2R and 1 G6A-274P-ST-US DC12 now)

Work is RTM

These files are considered as "ready to manufacture". In other words, Gerber files, iBom and BOM could be downloaded and/or sent to a fabhouse

No prototype of this version have been assembled and tested so far. Use it at your own risk, even if I did my best to kill every bug detected by the DRC

Questions

How big is the K Aries PCB?

It measures 220 × 160 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the K Aries use?

275 parts, built around the LM358, TPIC6595N, 74HCT04D and LM1117S-3.3. 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 K Aries KiCad files?

From the F6ITU/K_Aries repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is K_Aries.kicad_pcb and its schematic ATU_transformer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the K Aries design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask F6ITU before reusing the design.
