Overview

Io expander is an open-source printed circuit board by bornhack, from the bornhack/badge2023 repository on GitHub, published under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 54 × 29.2 mm with 44 parts on 20 nets, routed with 156 tracks and 17 vias.

It is built around the TCA9534PW and TS5220A. Its parts include 8 resistors, 4 diodes, 4 switches, 2 connectors and 1 IC. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards of this library.

BornHack 2023 NFC Badges

BornHack 2023 NFC Badges

With this years badges, we are taking a look at NFC. There will be two badges, one that is a tag (using the NXP NTAG I2C Plus chip), and another with an NFC reader (using NXP PN7150), that can also do card emulation.

The reader badge sports an RP2040 dual core Cortex M0+ microcontroller from Raspberry Pi and 16MB of Quad SPI flash for code and data files, to handle USB connection and general application control.

The reader badge will come with CircuitPython preloaded, for a very low barrier of entry, all you need is a USB-C cable, and your favorite text editor and you're ready for NFC hacking.

CircuitPython restore file

If you flash the board with something else and want to get back to CircuitPython: Bring the badge into the UF2 bootloader. This is done by holding the BOOT button and pressing RESET or by holding BOOT while powering on. The badge will then show up as a mass storage device called something like RP2-?. This is the built in bootloader. Then simply copy firmware.uf2 from the root of this repository. The badge will reboot, and you are then back to CircuitPython.

CircuitPython supported with this board is found in the circuitpython branch

The original python files that was on the badge when handed out are in the cp-init branch

Designed in KiCad v7

To open the project, you will need to install a recent release version or one of the nightly builds, KiCad v5 or v6 won't open this design. The reader schematic as a PDF and the tag schematic as a PDF are included for reference.

Questions

How big is the Io expander PCB?

It measures 54 × 29.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Io expander use?

44 parts, built around the TCA9534PW and TS5220A. 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 Io expander KiCad files?

From the bornhack/badge2023 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is io_expander/io_expander.kicad_pcb and its schematic io_expander/io_expander.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Io expander design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
