Overview

Sensors is an open-source printed circuit board by LeHack, from the LeHack/SPSP repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board with 8 parts on 16 nets, routed with 134 tracks and 4 vias.

It is built around the DHT11. Its parts include 3 capacitors, 2 resistors, 2 connectors and 1 IC. It belongs with the sensors and measurement and radio and wireless boards and the FPGA and CPLD boards of this library.

SPSP - Hardware

One of the goals of the project was to make it modular and easily fittable into a housing (in order to protect the electronics from weather elements).
Therefore I designed two easily detachable (via flat cable) PCBs:

  • sensors PCB - for all the sensors to be joined together (excluding the PM10 sensor, which is attached via a separate cable, due to the nature of PM10 measurements) final pcb

  • display and comms PCB - for the display (of own design), input switches and a communications module final pcb

Questions

What parts does the Sensors use?

8 parts, built around the DHT11. 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 Sensors KiCad files?

From the LeHack/SPSP repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/sensors.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sensors design in my own project?

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