Overview

Ee110 alpha board is an open-source printed circuit board by akrivka, from the akrivka/WALL-E repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 98 × 149 mm with 100 parts on 110 nets, routed with 1,066 tracks and 231 vias.

It is built around the 74LVC245AD, LM2902 and LM386, with the LM1086T-5.0, MPU-9250 and BLM18HE152SN1 among its other parts. Its parts include 32 capacitors, 16 resistors, 13 diodes, 9 ICs and 6 connectors.

WALL-E

For Blacker Hovse Ditch Day 2024 (Caltech tradition), we built a ~70% "real-life" size WALL-E robot, that could be driven remotely with a PS5 controller, move his head and arms, record and transmit a video feed, speak (faintly), and he even had a small storage space in his body (for trash of course!).

Here's my video of him when he was at his best (he's currently sitting in a closet in Blacker to be used as a static showcase project, while I study over in Switzerland...):

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6cdb80cf-8617-4d74-ad6d-1ea3f1ae313b

The model we used was https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3703555, but we scaled it up by 5/3 which introduced a bunch of challenges.

! This repository was used for code-sharing and does not aim to make this project repeatable. Maybe in the future...

Questions

How big is the Ee110 alpha board PCB?

It measures 98 × 149 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1 mm thick.

What parts does the Ee110 alpha board use?

100 parts, built around the 74LVC245AD, LM2902, LM386 and LM1086T-5.0. 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 Ee110 alpha board KiCad files?

From the akrivka/WALL-E repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is boards/alpha_board/pcb/ee110_alpha_board.kicad_pcb and its schematic boards/alpha_board/pcb/ee110_alpha_board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ee110 alpha board design in my own project?

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