SHARP Light and Versatile controller

The goal of this PCB is to make a small SHARP memory in pixel (MIP) controller All this might change as the idea develops but initially the plan is the following:

  • DS3231 or RV2032 acting as RTC to generate the Squarewave required by this displays
  • Optional touch only available in eBay from a seller in the UK (Better use 1.1 version)

Questions

How big is the Sharp LV PCB?

It measures 69.7 × 44.7 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sharp LV use?

53 parts, built around the NRF52840-QIAA-R, RT9080-33GJ5, TPS2113APW and USBLC6-2P6. 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 Sharp LV KiCad files?

From the martinberlin/Sharp-LV repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Sharp-LV.kicad_pcb and its schematic S3-silicon-Sharp-Touch/S3-silicon-Sharp-Touch.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sharp LV 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).
