Overview

Foresight processing is an open-source printed circuit board by nuzzer25, from the nuzzer25/foresight-processing repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board with 57 parts on 37 nets, routed with 467 tracks and 187 vias.

It is built around the ATMEGA328PB-AU, ADXL362BCCZ-RL7 and RFM95W-915S2, with the BSS138 and U.FL-R-SMT(10) among its other parts. Its parts include 13 capacitors, 9 connectors, 5 resistors, 3 ICs and 1 transistor. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Foresight Processing

Overview

The processing board is responsible for the main processing of the vibration analysis. On board is the ATmega328pb microcontroller, RFM95W LoRa transceiver and ADXL362 accelerometer. In addition there is a NMOS low side switch to turn of the RFM95W and ADXL362 when they are not needed to save power consumption.

Questions

What parts does the Foresight processing use?

57 parts, built around the ATMEGA328PB-AU, ADXL362BCCZ-RL7, RFM95W-915S2 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 Foresight processing KiCad files?

From the nuzzer25/foresight-processing repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is foresight-processing/foresight-processing.kicad_pcb and its schematic foresight-processing/foresight-processing.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Foresight processing design in my own project?

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