Daedalus is a Raspberry Pi add-on that aim's to supply the necessary components for common robotics applications such as power distribution, IO, sensors and software defined embedded logic.

The current revision (Rev A) is a Proof-of-concept and contains the following:

  • A switch mode power supply taking an input of 7V - 25V (2S to 6S LiPo battery) and and output of 5V @ 6A continuous
  • A 3.3V linear regulator
  • On board RP2040 co-processor
  • MPU-6050 IMU
  • 16 GPIO (8x Pi + 8x MCU)

Questions

How big is the Daedalus PCB?

It measures 65 × 56.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Daedalus use?

47 parts, built around the W25Q128JVSIQ, AP2112K-3.3 and MPU-6050. 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 Daedalus KiCad files?

From the nnarain/daedalus repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is daedalus.kicad_pcb and its schematic daedalus.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Daedalus design in my own project?

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