Overview
Valve tester is an open-source printed circuit board by OlfactoryBehaviorLab, from the OlfactoryBehaviorLab/valve_tester repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 81.7 × 58 mm with 54 parts on 45 nets, routed with 165 tracks and 55 vias.
It is built around the PMV40UN2 and SM4007PL. Its parts include 17 resistors, 9 connectors, 8 diodes, 5 switches and 4 transistors. It belongs with the audio and music boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.
Main components
2README
README.mdDewan Lab Solenoid Valve Tester
This repository hosts the code and PCB design files for a small, simple PCB to allow manual testing of solenoid valves
Functionality
- Manual latching user inputs
- Loop mode to allow hands-free cylcing of the valves
- Push connect terminals and molex headers for flexibility in attaching the solenoids
- Teensy 2.0 programmed with Teensyduino to allow the user to set up patterns of actuation if needed
- 24V or 12V input accepted
Manufacturing
- All boards were manufactured by JLCPCB with no special board parameters. Gerber files, and BOM/Coordinate files are all included in the repository
- JLCPCB also partially assembed the board by placing small SMD components such as resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and diodes.
- The schematic, PCB, and KiCAD project are all included in the repository repository
- All other parts were purchased from DigiKey and hand assembled in the FSU Psychology Research Development shop.
Programming Requirements
- Code was uploaded using the standard Arduino IDE can be downloaded from here.
- Reference the Teensyduino reference page from PJRC
Special Thanks
I would like to offer a special thanks to Fred Fletcher and Te Tang from the FSU Psychology Research and Development shop for their input, expertese, and time in assisting me in developing and assembling these boards

Questions
How big is the Valve tester PCB?
It measures 81.7 × 58 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Valve tester use?
54 parts, built around the PMV40UN2 and SM4007PL. 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 Valve tester KiCad files?
From the OlfactoryBehaviorLab/valve_tester repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad_Project/valve_tester.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad_Project/valve_tester.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Valve tester design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
