Overview

LEL Detector is an open-source printed circuit board by citrineio, from the citrineio/LEL-Detector repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 77.1 × 39.9 mm with 77 parts on 78 nets, routed with 584 tracks and 138 vias.

It is built around the TC2030-IDC-NL, M2.5 and DMN65D8L-7(ES), with the G6L-1P-DC3, TB002-500-02BE and B3FS-1002P among its other parts. Its parts include 29 capacitors, 13 resistors, 8 ICs, 4 diodes and 3 connectors.

Project Description

This project takes inspiration from my current job as a control and instrumentation engineer in the oil and gas industry. We have to deal with the risk of combustible or toxic gases leaks and one of the mandatory protection mechanisms is having a gas detection system. I designed a detector for combustible gases especially H2 which utilizes a common communication protocol to send data to the main controller in the system.

This project incorporates the following:

  • SGP30 air quality sensor with H2 detection capability
  • STM32F103 microcontroller
  • LTC2631ITS8 I2C DAC with voltage output
  • AD5749 4-20mA transmitter IC to send data to a connector and then to the control system.
  • AOM12864A0 1.54" OLED display for reading the sensor's value.
  • Two Omron relays for controlling and signaling an alarm light and a horn during a gas leak.

Questions

How big is the LEL Detector PCB?

It measures 77.1 × 39.9 mm and has 4 copper layers, 4.69 mm thick.

What parts does the LEL Detector use?

77 parts, built around the TC2030-IDC-NL, M2.5, DMN65D8L-7(ES) and G6L-1P-DC3. 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 LEL Detector KiCad files?

From the citrineio/LEL-Detector repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB Layout/LEL Detector.kicad_pcb and its schematic Schematics/LEL Detector.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the LEL Detector design in my own project?

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