Overview

Blupoi is an open-source printed circuit board by robertfoss, from the robertfoss/blupoi repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 218 × 29.5 mm with 135 parts on 229 nets, routed with 2,147 tracks and 145 vias.

It is built around the SIP32408EVB, MAX16054AZT+T and TPS63031DSKR, with the BNO055 among its other parts. Its parts include 80 diodes, 21 capacitors, 12 resistors, 7 ICs and 2 inductors. It belongs with the nRF52 and nRF5x boards of this library.

TODO

Changes since v0.3:

  • 1uF 0402 caps not ordered
  • C27 pad has a large via in a pad
  • FIXED: MAX16054 Connect CLEAR to GND if unused.
  • FIXED: SIP32408 Footprint pinout was mirrored ? Change battery orientation, since spring should be on the top side but also on the gnd side of BAT
  • Maybe dont since VBAT would end up coming out in a place where it is not useful
  • X1 label covered by hole
  • X1 footprint larger than bom part?
  • C1/C2/C3 footprint is 0603 but bom is 0402
  • SWO header, change part and footprint to have only be connectable the 'right' way

Changes since v0.2:

  • FIXED: Replaced USB connector oval holes with round ones for improved fabricability
  • FIXED: Reflowed filled zones since KiCad somehow did it randomly wrong in v0.2
  • FIXED: R1 Move via further away from pad
  • FIXED: Move USB connector and power button to the side

Changes since v0.1:

  • FIXED: Battery compartment is not quite wide enough.

  • IGNORE: Battery compartment battery spring slot is:

    • 0.5mm too thin, should be 1.6mm
    • 0.5mm too slim, should me 17.75mm
  • FIXED: Spring slots lack copper on the back side

  • FIXED: +/- symbols on the battery silkscreen ? IGNORE: battery footprint 180 degrees

  • FIXED: U5/bq24075 EN1 is not pulled down

  • FIXED: U5/bq24075 sysoff turns charging off. Which is should never dd

    • Add separate add some kind of switch between u5 out and vin, controlled by button logic
    • Pull sysoff down
  • Add Load switch like Sip32431 - http://www.vishay.com/docs/66597/sip32431.pdf

  • FIXED: Mic port hole is not drilled (hole too small?)

  • FIXED: Mic pads should probably be longer

  • FIXED: Move button footprint slightly closer to edge

  • FIXED: BNO055 pads should probable be longer

  • FIXED: Make logos bigger to make details visible

  • FIXED: Change L2 footprint from 0603 to 1206

  • Vin not connected on 3.3V regulator

  • FIXED: Add silkscreen saying: look at you, hacker, a pathetic creature of meat and bone. how can you compare yourself to a perfect immortal machine.

Questions

How big is the Blupoi PCB?

It measures 218 × 29.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Blupoi use?

135 parts, built around the SIP32408EVB, MAX16054AZT+T, TPS63031DSKR and BNO055. 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 Blupoi KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Blupoi design in my own project?

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