Hardware Documentation

A small board that can be attached to a 5V power supply to show if the voltage is above or below 5.0V with a maximum tolerance of about 2% (±0.1V) when 1% resistors are used.

The board can also be directly plugged onto a Raspberry Pi GPIO header to have a quick visual aid about the power supply status. The third pin is an open collector output that pulls down when the voltage is above 5.0V. When plugged onto the GPIO header this gets connected to GPIO14.

Connections when directly plugged in:

BoardGPIO Header
VCC4 (5V)
GND6 (GND)
VOK8 (GPIO14)

When using a cable, VOK can of course be connected to any GPIO Pin or not be used at all.

The "wings" with the screw holes can be used to mount the board in a case or broken off if they are not needed.

Questions

How big is the BinaryVoltageIndicator PCB?

It measures 20 × 10 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BinaryVoltageIndicator use?

17 parts. 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 BinaryVoltageIndicator KiCad files?

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

Can I use the BinaryVoltageIndicator design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the BSD-2-Clause licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
