UiO Lora E5 logger hardware design

Electronic design of the Lora E5 Mini logger for RIOT firmware. The logger is designed for optimized power consumption, connectivity, and prioritizing data collection in remote and cold regions. The logger handles a variety of digital protocols (SDI-12, I2C, UART) to communication to sensors. Radio uses the LoRa protocol.

Open-source License MIT, see the file LICENSE

Logger V1

The designed is made out of commercial breakout boards. All break out are joined by a main PCB board using through-hole components. To open the files, use the open source software KiCad.

Development of the compatible RIOT firmware available on github at https://github.com/spectraphilic/wsn_riot.

Objectives for V1:

  • complete a functional design
  • deploy design in real conditions
  • Iterate design and finalize a SMD PCB for V2

Questions

How big is the E5 logger PCB?

It measures 224.7 × 144.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the E5 logger use?

10 parts. 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 E5 logger KiCad files?

From the spectraphilic/wsn_E5 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is UiO_LoRa_E5_Mini_logger_v1/E5_logger.kicad_pcb and its schematic Lagopus_v3/Lagopus_v3.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the E5 logger design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
