OTAPS - Open Train Accident Prevention System

This repository contains schematic, PCB and wiring files for OTAPS.

Directory info:

  1. Wiring contains the schematic for wiring signal node.
  2. WiringLocomotiveUnit contains the schematic for wiring the locomotive unit.
  3. Nodes contains the schematic and PCBs files for the PCBs.

DETAILS:

I created this project for the Circuit Digest 2024 IoT & Edge AI Project Challenge. The firmware for the signal and locomotive units is available at this repository: https://github.com/Ozonised/OTAPS_Firmware The project details including features, working protocol, build guide and code explanation can be found on this page: https://circuitdigest.com/microcontroller-projects/otaps-open-train-accident-prevention-system

NOTE:

Both signal and locomotive units utilise the same PCB.

Questions

How big is the Nodes PCB?

It measures 80.9 × 83.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Nodes use?

31 parts, built around the AMS1117-3.3. 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 Nodes KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Nodes 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).
