BeeEye Board

BeeEye Board is a complete KiCad project for the BeeEye Station — a system designed to collect sensor data via 1-Wire and BLE, and transmit it over LoRa.

Firmware for this board is available here:
👉 https://github.com/Sleepyowl/BeeEyeFirmware


Features

  • nRF52811 SoC (BLE support)
  • SX1262 LoRa module
  • External RTC with supercapacitor backup
  • External I²C-to-1-Wire bridge
  • Battery voltage sensing (high-side gated divider)
  • 3× 1-Wire connectors with TVS protection
  • UART connector
  • I²C connector
  • SWD interface: Tag-Connect TC2030 (6-pin, no legs)

Known Issues

  • No reverse polarity protection
  • No overvoltage or overcurrent protection
  • No TVS protection on UART or I²C connectors

Manufacturing Notes

Working prototypes were manufactured via PCBWay using the parameters below. For production or panelized versions, ENIG surface finish is recommended.

Questions

How big is the Sensor Station PCB?

It measures 40 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sensor Station use?

39 parts, built around the WIO-SX1262, DS2484R+T, TPS62842DGRR and RV-3028-C7. 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 Station KiCad files?

From the BeeEyeIoT/sensor-station-board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Sensor Station.kicad_pcb and its schematic Sensor Station.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sensor Station design in my own project?

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