📦 VoidSmartBot Core V1.1

A professionally engineered 4-layer PCB for mobile robotics and embedded systems.


🔧 Overview

SmartBot Core V1.1 is a custom-designed control board tailored for mobile robotics platforms.
Built on a 4-layer FR4 stack, it combines reliable power management, motor control, encoder support, and clean communication — all in a compact, Arduino Mega-compatible footprint.


🧠 Core Features

🔋 Power That Doesn’t Quit

  • Dual battery input with seamless auto-switching (Power MUX)
  • Over-voltage & over-current protection (TVS diode + SMD fuse)
  • BAT1 / BAT2 source indicators via onboard LEDs

⚙️ Motion & I/O Control

  • 4 DC motor outputs via integrated L298N (w/ flyback diodes)
  • 4 quadrature encoder inputs (CHA/CHB)
  • Support for ultrasonic sensors, servos, and I2C LCD modules

🛠️ Hardware Architecture

  • ATmega2560 (Arduino Mega compatible)
  • USB-B interface via CH340G (UART + programming)
  • 54 digital I/O, 16 analog inputs, 14 PWM channels, 10-bit ADC
  • 4-layer FR4 with internal GND & Power planes

Questions

How big is the PCB Board PCB?

It measures 130.5 × 133 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PCB Board use?

48 parts, built around the CH340C, HC-05, L298N and LV25-P. 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 PCB Board KiCad files?

From the amnxlab/Void-SmartBot repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Board Files/PCB Board.kicad_pcb and its schematic Board Files/PCB Board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PCB Board design in my own project?

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