Overview

Simple switch is an open-source printed circuit board by Connaxio, from the Connaxio/production-controller-makroshield repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 28.6 × 35.6 mm with 30 parts on 22 nets, routed with 118 tracks and 71 vias.

It is built around the TLC555IDRDL, RMCF0402FT12K4 and 150060GS75000, with the SL310A-TP, RMCF0402FT75R0 and RMCF0402FT5K10 among its other parts. Its parts include 9 resistors, 5 fuses, 4 diodes, 4 connectors and 3 capacitors.

Production Controller makroShield

The Production Controller makroShield (PCM) is a modular controller designed to operate 24 V devices with the help of connected and remote sensors.

The PCM has a mikroBUS socket that works with Espoir, our Power over Ethernet devboard, to provide remote control, as well as advanced functionalities through node-red and Home Assistant. Simpler control can be achieved by directly programming Espoir.

Originally designed to operate greenhouses and irrigation valves, it can be adapted to many different kinds of small productions and climate control due to its modular nature.

2 drivers are available with the PCM: a 2-ways driver for bidirectional motors, and a 1-way, AC/DC controller for other devices, like valves, fans, and unidirectional motors. Up to 15 drivers can be connected simultaneously, and scheduled to use up to 350 Watts of power at a time.

Being modular makes the PCM easy to repair and upgrade, and helps reduce cost for smaller operations.

Questions

How big is the Simple switch PCB?

It measures 28.6 × 35.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.3 mm thick.

What parts does the Simple switch use?

30 parts, built around the TLC555IDRDL, RMCF0402FT12K4, 150060GS75000 and SL310A-TP. 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 Simple switch KiCad files?

From the Connaxio/production-controller-makroshield repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is simple-switch/simple_switch.kicad_pcb and its schematic h-bridge-driver/h-bridge-driver.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Simple switch design in my own project?

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