Overview

ThermoBoard is an open-source printed circuit board by npgo22, from the npgo22/ALI2Proposal repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 97 × 97.1 mm with 139 parts on 108 nets, routed with 538 tracks and 1,017 vias.

It is built around the LAN8742A-CZ, TJA1042T/3/1J and MAX31856, with the AP2112K-3.3, USBLC6-2SC6 and PCC-SMP-K-5-R among its other parts. Its parts include 51 capacitors, 28 resistors, 10 diodes, 9 ICs and 9 connectors. It belongs with the STM32 boards of this library.

Thermocouple Board 1A

These are the board files for the first revision of the thermocouple board for ALI. As can be seen in the schematic, the layout for the ethernet PHY is wrong. This was corrected with some jumper wires and hot glue. Because of the very similar architecture to the new layout, this board may be used in lieu of the completion of a second revision of the original thermocouple board.

Questions

How big is the ThermoBoard PCB?

It measures 97 × 97.1 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.78 mm thick.

What parts does the ThermoBoard use?

139 parts, built around the LAN8742A-CZ, TJA1042T/3/1J, MAX31856 and AP2112K-3.3. 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 ThermoBoard KiCad files?

From the npgo22/ALI2Proposal repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ground-station-thermocouples-1A/ThermoBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic chickenstick-locator-1A/Power.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ThermoBoard design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask npgo22 before reusing the design.
