OpenAquatix Hardware

PCB files for the open-source underwater acoustic modem: OpenAquatix.

OpenAquatix is an open-source underwater acoustic modem that provides a flexible and performative interface for research applications and small-scale hobby projects. Key hardware features include:

  1. USB 2.0 interface at 480Mbps
  2. In-built power consumption monitoring
  3. Ambient pressure and temperature sensing
  4. Low-noise analog front-end
  5. 6th order bandpass filter on input signals
  6. Primary processor is an STM32H723 (512 kB flash and RAM) running at 480 MHz for onboard processing of messages
  7. Output power of 30W continuous, 60W peak.
  8. Reverse polarity and surge protection
  9. Standby power consumption of 2 mW
  10. Listening power consumption of 100 mW
  11. Active processing power consumption of 1 W
  12. Fully customizable daughter card for limitless AUV/User - Modem communication protocols (Ethernet, RS232, RS485, CAN, Modbus, etc.)
  13. Cost of each board (transducer excluded) fully assembled at quantities of 5+: $110 USD
  14. Input feedback network to test novel modulation/demodulation techniques on real hardware
  15. Output feedback network to calibrate phase non-linearities in the output chain
  16. 2 MB external flash
  17. SWD debugging interface

Questions

What parts does the OpenAquatix Hardware use?

351 parts, built around the TPD4E05U06DQAR, TS5A4624DCK, TLV75733PDRV and TPS22919DCK. 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 OpenAquatix Hardware KiCad files?

From the ericvoi/OpenAquatix-Hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is v2/src/OpenAquatix-Hardware.kicad_pcb and its schematic v1/src/Connections.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the OpenAquatix Hardware design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
