Version 0.3

  • Uses Teensy 3.6 as mainboard controller (run at a low clock speed) and defaults to sleep
  • Has 3 weigh station ports (controlled by a HX711 and a ATMega328)
  • ATMega328's have interrupts connected to the teensy to wake it up when they want to transfer some data (over I2C)
  • Single lorawan module (connected to teensy, can sleep when not in use)
  • Designed to be a low-power device with multiple processors for asynchronous readings

Questions

How big is the BatteryHolder PCB?

It measures 72.6 × 103.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the BatteryHolder use?

4 parts, built around the BK-18650-PC6. 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 BatteryHolder KiCad files?

From the DPIclimate/ag-node repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electronics/schematics-pcb/BatteryHolder.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the BatteryHolder design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
