Overview

USCAM is an open-source printed circuit board by LKAPBx, from the LKAPBx/sonicCam repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 4-layer board of 120 × 120 mm with 77 parts on 49 nets, routed with 14,346 tracks and 123 vias.

It is built around the MPL115A1T1, SPH0641LU4H-1 and CPC1025N, with the BC337 among its other parts. Its parts include 30 capacitors, 28 ICs, 11 resistors, 1 transistor and 1 connector. It belongs with the audio and music boards of this library.

Sound Camera

Project created in KiCad.

An array of digital MEMS microphones connected to a single clock source.

It contains the following:

  1. A 2 row, 40-pin 100mil spacing connection header.
  2. A major array that consists of 16 microphones spaced equally across the PCB.
  3. Two minor arrays of 9 microphones that make up the 'lower left' and 'upper right' quadrants of the major array.
  4. A temperature and pressure sensor with clock selection jumper resistors.
  5. An ultra-sonic speaker and amp.
  6. An option header to allow multiple arrays to be ganged together on the same ribbon cable.

Questions

How big is the USCAM PCB?

It measures 120 × 120 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.57 mm thick.

What parts does the USCAM use?

77 parts, built around the MPL115A1T1, SPH0641LU4H-1, CPC1025N and BC337. 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 USCAM KiCad files?

From the LKAPBx/sonicCam repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is USCAM/USCAM/USCAM.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the USCAM 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).
