Overview

DA37 power C is an open-source printed circuit board by Fairank, from the Fairank/WhisperTorch repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board with 83 parts on 52 nets, routed with 842 tracks and 88 vias.

It is built around the INA226AIDGSR, BQ29209DRBR and S-8252AAY-M6T1U, with the VOM617A-4X001T, CSD17577Q5A and AO4407A among its other parts. Its parts include 31 resistors, 20 capacitors, 10 connectors, 7 transistors and 6 ICs.

Fairank 的便携式定向声音工程项目。 以手电筒的形态探索无需接收器的定向语音:两节 18650、USB-C 充电、尾部麦克风与中文菜单、实时讲话和 30 秒断电保存录音。

C3 外形

当前:C3 工程样机设计,源码公开 / 非商业许可。 这是一套可编辑的 PCB、结构和固件工程,尚未制造或完成实物测试。目标“60 米普通户外听懂”和“30 米处近似瓶口大小的声音束”均未实现或验证;现有 37 单元发射头只是开发平台,可能需要重新设计口径、供电和结构。

发射头数量决定

按 2026-09-09 最新确认,后续主方案固定为 37 个,1+6+12+18 四圈,88 个草案已撤回。高输出版先核验换能器和驱动匹配,详见 37 单元改版研究与尺寸对照。该目录是选型与排布研究,当前可编辑电路和外壳仍为下列 C3 基线。

已有工程

部分已有内容验证边界
电路电源、控制、尾部、37 单元发射四块已布线 KiCad 板及原理图C3 四板 DRC / 未连接 / 原理图一致性均为 0;电路基础 696 个接线点一致;无实测
外壳圆形前端、圆角矩形后部、平滑过渡;一体主壳,两端可拆板组14 种 STL 闭合且单一实体;9 项名义装配几何检查通过;无打印首件
音频与界面ESP32 + Pico;实时语音、30 秒录音、单次/循环、蓝牙音频、中文菜单源码和编译检查;无实机音频效果证据
电源2S 18650,Type-C 充电,保护与温度/电流检测显示的是整机直流电功率,不是声功率;充电和发射负载待实测
品牌年糕 Niangao v1 + Fairank,和 FieldDock 统一三块板有猫头像,四板有署名;细节印刷待工厂确认

打开设计

外形:前端最大 Ø102 mm,握柄 68×50 mm,总长 170 mm(含键帽约 171.6 mm)。主壳可以一体打印,前后盖与侧检修盖保持可拆;整个机壳封死为一件无法安装内部组件。

成本与后续

按 2026-09-09 中国采购的一台开发样机,现版预算约 ¥2,700–3,800,不含仪器、专业测试和返工。¥1,200–2,400 是换能器与廉价 OLED 替换验证后的条件目标,尚不是可采购配置。详见价格模型中的出处、假设和未完成替换。

下一阶段先锁定器件和线束,验证打印首件、充电保护、温升及音频联调,再测声压、横向覆盖与 10/30/60 米语音辨识。不能仅凭板图无错误宣布制造放行或远距离达标。

Questions

What parts does the DA37 power C use?

83 parts, built around the INA226AIDGSR, BQ29209DRBR, S-8252AAY-M6T1U and VOM617A-4X001T. 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 DA37 power C KiCad files?

From the Fairank/WhisperTorch repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/DA37_power_C.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/DA37_control_C.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the DA37 power C design in my own project?

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