Riotee Solar Shield

Kibot ERC/DRC

The solar shield plugs into the headers of the Riotee board. It has four small solar cells and a sliding switch to selectively switch on one, three, or all solar cells. This way you can experiment and see which configuration works best under the given light conditions.

Questions

How big is the Riotee SolarShield PCB?

It measures 55.9 × 25.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Riotee SolarShield use?

13 parts, built around the KXOB25-05X3F-TR, PH1-10-UA and ADE02S04. 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 Riotee SolarShield KiCad files?

From the NessieCircuits/Riotee_SolarShield repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/riotee-solar-shield.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/riotee-solar-shield.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Riotee SolarShield design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
