DigiSlate+

DigiSlate+ is based on the DigiSlate and is inspired by the DIY timecode generator from mitkunz. The aim for the DigiSlate+ is not only to be able to read and display timecode, but also to generate it itself. To make this possible, the hardware is extended by a real time clock with high running accuracy. The RTC module DS3231 with temperature-compensated quartz offers the possibility.

There are two versions of the DigiSlate+. The simpler version is based on modified hardware from the original DigiSlate project and the software in the master branch.

The newly developed hardware offers significantly more functions. The corresponding code can be found in the dotmatrix branch.

Questions

How big is the DigiSlatePlus PCB?

It measures 270 × 140 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the DigiSlatePlus use?

130 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, MAX7219M, LM2596S-ADJ and DS3231MZ+. 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 DigiSlatePlus KiCad files?

From the digislateplus/digislateplus.github.io repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/PCB/DigiSlatePlus.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/PCB/DigiSlatePlus-Power.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the DigiSlatePlus design in my own project?

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