Overview

Genesis is an open-source printed circuit board by iffycodes, from the iffycodes/Genesis repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board with 98 parts on 112 nets.

It is built around the 74AHC1G125GW, PCF8523T and W5500, with the MBR540DS, RB1-125BAG1A and CR1220-2 among its other parts. Its parts include 31 resistors, 27 capacitors, 6 crystals, 5 ICs and 3 diodes. It belongs with the ESP32 and RISC-V boards of this library.

Change history

  • Removed Stemma QT connectors. Left second LDO (AP2112-3.3). It looks to only be powering the neopixel on GPIO0. Need to figure out if I can just use the main one.
  • Removed voltage divider used for LiPo monitoring. Provided A13_I35 that went to I35 on the ESP.
  • Removed LiPo charging circuit. VBUS is now only supplied by USB-C connector. Removed DMG3415U transistor in upper left of Page 2. Removed JST battery connector.
  • Removed extra reset switches.
  • Add initial annotation.
  • Rename +3V3 net on RTC page to match 3.3V global net name.
  • Rename MISO nets on Ethernet page so global MISO net can go to buffer
  • Remove second LDO. Power Neopixel from main regulator.
  • Start adding heirarchical labels. Add notes to check sub-feather jumpers.
  • Remove feather headers and ESP model from ETH and RTC pages.

Questions

What parts does the Genesis use?

98 parts, built around the 74AHC1G125GW, PCF8523T, W5500 and MBR540DS. 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 Genesis KiCad files?

From the iffycodes/Genesis repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is rev1/Genesis/Genesis.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad-import/adafruit-datalogger/adalogger featherwing.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Genesis design in my own project?

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