Picise

Prototype for a time / location accessory for a Raspberry Pi 40-pin GPIO.

Goals:

  • high quality time (including pps) and location source
  • low cost but not cheap
  • all 3.3VDC to keep things simple
  • clearance for Pi52's ICE Tower coolers

Vertical GPIO riser with

  • HAT EEPROM,
  • GNSS,
  • GNSS battery backup,
  • indicators for power and GNSS fix,
  • 3.3VDC fan header.

BOM:

Digikey

Status:

2022-11-25: rev2 design in progress.

2022-11-24: rev1 assembled, working (click on video below). Planning rev2 improvements.

Questions

How big is the Picise PCB?

It measures 65 × 23.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Picise use?

39 parts, built around the MAX-M10S-00B, CAT24C256WI-GT3, PCA9557PW and CC0603KRX7R9BB104. 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 Picise KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Picise 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).
