Overview

FluCom5 is an open-source printed circuit board by novintic, from the novintic/FlukeEmu-FluCom repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 114 × 56.7 mm with 49 parts on 73 nets, routed with 608 tracks and 91 vias.

It is built around the SN74LV1T34DBV, B0505S-1W and TXS0104EPW, with the BSS138 and B320 among its other parts. Its parts include 10 capacitors, 10 resistors, 10 connectors, 7 ICs and 5 diodes.

FlukeEmu-FluCom

A HW/SW solution for Fluke 9010 mainframe emulation

The Idea is to use a Raspberry Pi to run a Fluke 9010a emulator in software and interface with the hardware (pods) by means of an add on board/hat (basically to shift the levels and provide power to the pod). So far we have progressed from a proof of concept to a pretty solid and stable emulation.

The advantages of using an approach like this are many, amongst them:

  • cheap Fluke 9010a mainframe replacement using modern technology and thereby adding stuff like network capability, wireless LAN, remote access/VNC, bluetooth etc ‚for free‘
  • the interface board can supply all the power rails to the pod so only one 12V wall adapter is needed to power the RaspberryPi and the pods
  • the whole setup is portable and compact, you could in theory put the whole thing inside your cabinet/UUT and comfortably use VNC to remote control the Fluke. You could also run the thing ‚headless‘ making it even smaller.

Credits

We would like to credit Adam Courchesne (@onecircuit) for coming up with the idea of a Fluke emulator and hardware combination and of course for being the first one to actually write one and make it available.

Questions

How big is the FluCom5 PCB?

It measures 114 × 56.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the FluCom5 use?

49 parts, built around the SN74LV1T34DBV, B0505S-1W, TXS0104EPW and BSS138. 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 FluCom5 KiCad files?

From the novintic/FlukeEmu-FluCom repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is FluCom/KiCAD8/FluCom5.kicad_pcb and its schematic FluCom/KiCAD8/FluCom5.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the FluCom5 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-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).
