Overview
SensorBoard is an open-source printed circuit board by higg22-git, from the higg22-git/SensorBoard repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 77 × 57.8 mm with 22 parts on 34 nets, routed with 100 tracks and 0 vias.
It is built around the SN65HVD230D. Its parts include 8 resistors, 6 capacitors, 6 connectors and 1 IC. It belongs with the sensors and measurement and interfaces and adapters boards of this library.
Main components
1README
README.mdSensorBoard
CAN sensor node for BYU Formula SAE Electric's car. Reads analog and digital sensors and publishes them onto the vehicle CAN bus, so the ECU sees sensor data as CAN frames instead of a bundle of wires run back to a single board.
Design
- Teensy 4.0 as the controller
- SN65HVD230 CAN transceiver
- Connectorized sensor inputs on Molex 2- and 3-pin headers, so a sensor can be swapped in the paddock without touching the board
- Two-layer KiCad layout
Putting the node at the sensor rather than at the ECU is the point: it shortens the analog runs, which are the part of the harness most likely to pick up noise from the drivetrain.

Questions
How big is the SensorBoard PCB?
It measures 77 × 57.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the SensorBoard use?
22 parts, built around the SN65HVD230D. 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 SensorBoard KiCad files?
From the higg22-git/SensorBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SensorBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic SensorBoard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the SensorBoard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask higg22-git before reusing the design.
