OBSmini Hardware

This repository includes all the essential PCB and 3D printing files required for the OBSmini hardware.

PCB

The Bill of Materials (BOM) and layout take inspiration from the reference designs mentioned in the schematic. However, they are primarily optimized for availability and cost-effectiveness, particularly for assembly services provided by JLCPCB.

"Basic Parts" are utilized whenever tolerances permit, while "Extended Parts" are employed only when absolutely necessary.

5 PCBs cost 50€ (including parts, assembly and shipping).

Questions

How big is the OBSmini PCB PCB?

It measures 50 × 28 mm and has 6 copper layers, 7.78 mm thick.

What parts does the OBSmini PCB use?

136 parts, built around the NRF52833-QDAA-R, MCP6002T-E/MC, LMV321 and TP4057. 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 OBSmini PCB KiCad files?

From the MegaC-C/OBSmini_hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is OBSmini_PCB/OBSmini_PCB.kicad_pcb and its schematic OBSmini_NFC_Antenna_PCB/OBSmini_NFC_Antenna_PCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the OBSmini PCB design in my own project?

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