Overview

Noname is an open-source printed circuit board by cculpepper, from the cculpepper/APRSDongle repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board with 608 parts on 124 nets, routed with 8,113 tracks and 950 vias.

It is built around the MKL26Z128VLH4, TPS63020 and 24C16. Its parts include 226 capacitors, 101 resistors, 65 inductors, 51 connectors and 35 diodes. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) and NXP (LPC, Kinetis, i.MX RT) boards of this library.

#APRSDongle

This is a hardware and software project that aims to be a logger and control module for a high altitude balloon or other device.

##Hardware There are multiple modular boards that each perform a task.
The power board currently regulates 3-5V down to 3.3, suitable for Li-Po cells. It incorporates a microcontroller and switchmode regulator. Power is passed through a header to ease design of later modules.

The radio board uses the Axsem (ON Semiconductor) AX5043 IC and a power amplifier Currently it is set up for the amateur radio 2M band. The chip can do hardware FSK, GMFSK, AFSK and analog FM. Its a really cool chip. The PA will do a watt, nominally. The board also includes a MCU, Freescale KL26 and GPS module on the back.

The main board currently will not work with the new radio as the pinout changed. Currently it is set up for the DRA818 "Baofeng on a chip" 2m radio module. As the data must be generated by audio, its slow and takes a lot of processing to use. The board will be reworked to use the new radio module after testing.

##Software

Software is written in C with the KEIL IDE. This may change in the future because linux, but for now, it works.

Feel free to take a look and contribute!

Questions

What parts does the Noname use?

608 parts, built around the MKL26Z128VLH4, TPS63020 and 24C16. 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 Noname KiCad files?

From the cculpepper/APRSDongle repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardwareRev1.pretty/noname.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Noname design in my own project?

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