Overview

Sensor v2 1 is an open-source printed circuit board by Gabrieleenx, from the Gabrieleenx/Deformable_Tactile_Sensor repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 82.1 × 32 mm with 90 parts on 136 nets, routed with 1,813 tracks and 292 vias.

It is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N8R2, MLX90393ELW-ABA-011-SP and AMS1117-3.3, with the ESD9B3.3ST5G, 10132797-025100LF and 1N5819HW-7-F-01 among its other parts. Its parts include 50 capacitors, 20 ICs, 8 resistors, 7 diodes and 3 connectors. It belongs with the sensors and measurement boards and the ESP32 boards of this library.

Deformable In-Hand Slip-Aware Tactile Sensor

This is the material and guides for the paper "Deformable In-Hand Slip-Aware Tactile Sensor with Integrated Velocity Sensing, Force/Torque and Pressure Map Estimation". You can also find a more popular science presentatin on the entire project https://youtu.be/DqMjxcfm4Ek?si=F0FGEtK1jk1I4O4m

This repo is devided into 3 parts:

  1. build files: this is the files and guide to physically build the sensor
  2. embedded code: this is the code that runs on the sensor
  3. code on pc: this is the code on the pc that interfaces with the sensor, it also contains the code for calibrating the sensors.

A 3D printable version of the gripper used can be found at: https://github.com/Gabrieleenx/Parallel_gripper and the fingers to mount the sensors can be found at "/build_files/fingers_cnc", I CNC them from 6061 aluminium on my own CNC, but they could be ordered from PCBWay.

Questions

How big is the Sensor v2 1 PCB?

It measures 82.1 × 32 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sensor v2 1 use?

90 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N8R2, MLX90393ELW-ABA-011-SP, AMS1117-3.3 and ESD9B3.3ST5G. 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 Sensor v2 1 KiCad files?

From the Gabrieleenx/Deformable_Tactile_Sensor repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is build_files/PCB/kicad_source/sensor_v2_1.kicad_pcb and its schematic build_files/PCB/kicad_source/5_to_1_9V.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sensor v2 1 design in my own project?

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