Overview

SensorBasic is an open-source printed circuit board by rmemory, from the rmemory/microcontroller_header repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 27.9 × 27.9 mm with 29 parts on 35 nets, routed with 247 tracks and 37 vias.

It is built around the DS7505S+. Its parts include 15 resistors, 8 diodes, 3 capacitors and 3 ICs.

README

The purpose of this project is to design a hardware (PCB) header which can be used as an interface from general I/O hardware to any uC of choice.

For example, lets say we wish to measure something (voltage, current, etc). It allows us to use any micro controller (teensy, arduino, beaglebone, etc) to interface to the measurement.

Here is the pin out. Note that it is "keyed" meaning, its designed such that the connector cannot be used with the wrong polarity.

The first usage of the header will be to integrate it with the Teensy 3.2: https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy32.html

The microcontroller header will be used as an interface to a sensor board.

Questions

How big is the SensorBasic PCB?

It measures 27.9 × 27.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SensorBasic use?

29 parts, built around the DS7505S+. 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 SensorBasic KiCad files?

From the rmemory/microcontroller_header repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/pcb/SensorBasic/SensorBasic.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SensorBasic design in my own project?

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