Overview

Impact measure is an open-source printed circuit board by paltus23, from the paltus23/impact_meter_pcb repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 30.6 × 20.5 mm with 63 parts on 50 nets, routed with 432 tracks and 143 vias.

It is built around the ESP32-C3FH4, ADXL375BCCZ and GS2019-33TR5, with the RB521BS-40 and SP2002KNC among its other parts. Its parts include 21 capacitors, 17 resistors, 3 ICs, 3 inductors and 2 diodes. It belongs with the ESP32 and RISC-V boards of this library.

Device Description

  • The accelerometer board is based on the ESP32-C3FH4 microcontroller and the ADXL375 accelerometer.
  • The device can be powered either from a battery or via USB. When USB is connected, the battery is automaticly disconnected over MOSFET.
  • The USB port is connected using wires. It is used to power the device, flash firmware, and perform debugging.
  • A spare UART port is available for firmware flashing and debugging.
  • Several additional GPIOs are brought out to test points for possible future use.
  • Communication is performed via Wi-Fi.
  • Recording and transmission of data are intended to be carried out at different times (not simultaneously).

Questions

How big is the Impact measure PCB?

It measures 30.6 × 20.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Impact measure use?

63 parts, built around the ESP32-C3FH4, ADXL375BCCZ, GS2019-33TR5 and RB521BS-40. 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 Impact measure KiCad files?

From the paltus23/impact_meter_pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is v1/impact_measure.kicad_pcb and its schematic v1/impact_measure.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Impact measure design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask paltus23 before reusing the design.
