Printalyzer Densitometer Device

Introduction

The Printalyzer UV/VIS Densitometer is a project whose goal is the creation of an affordable reflection and transmission densitometer for photographic darkroom use.

It differs from the original B&W densitometer product in that it adds a UV measurement channel for alternative processes needs.

This project will use the B&W Printalyzer Densitometer DPD-100 design as its basis, and will make all efforts to share the same mechanical design and components.

This project is currently very much in the R&D stage, and should not be considered complete or functional at this point. It may change substantially as initial prototypes are constructed and tested.

Project Layout

Hardware

The "hardware" directory contains KiCad projects with the complete circuit schematics, bill-of-materials, and PCB layouts.

Software

The "software" directory contains all the source code for the bootloader and firmware that runs on the hardware.

The desktop software to interface with this densitometer from a computer is maintained in a separate repository, as it contains support for multiple densitometer devices.

Enclosure

The "enclosure" directory contains any CAD models and related resources necessary to physically assemble the device.

License

Individual directories will contain LICENSE files as needed, with relevant details. Generally, the hardware will be CC BY-SA and the software will be BSD 3-Clause. However, external resources may have their own individual license terms.

Questions

How big is the Printalyzer uvdensitometer PCB?

It measures 105 × 38 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Printalyzer uvdensitometer use?

101 parts, built around the STM32L072KZT6, MCP9808-E/MS, TSL25853PM and TC1301A-APAVMF. 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 Printalyzer uvdensitometer KiCad files?

From the dektronics/printalyzer-uvdensitometer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/main-board/main-board.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/main-board/main-board-buttons.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Printalyzer uvdensitometer design in my own project?

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