Overview

Sensor schematics is an open-source printed circuit board by sugar-sensor, from the sugar-sensor/sensor-schematics repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 6-layer board of 18.3 × 36.1 mm with 70 parts on 160 nets.

It is built around the MAX32630IWG+T, MX25U51245GZ4I54 and MAX14689EWL+T, with the MAX9062EBS+TG45, BMI160 and MAX20303BEWN+T among its other parts. Its parts include 31 capacitors, 15 resistors, 12 ICs, 3 diodes and 3 inductors. It belongs with the sensors and measurement boards of this library.

Description

Electrical and mechanical schematics for sugar sensor. Includes PCB design and BOM + Gerber files for sensor production Repository has 2 branches: v1 and v2. Both are based on MAX86141 AFE to work with LEDs. The difference between v1 and v2 are the following:

  • v1 uses 3 LEDS (RED, GREEN, BLUE) as light source (non-coherent) while v2 uses 7mW 650nm RED laser (coherent)
  • v1 uses AD5933 BioZ controller while v2 uses MAX30002 BioZ controller
  • in v2 the main board dependency is removed. Main board replaced with external TinyPICO board and add-ons. Sensor board is stackable

Project notes

  1. The main reason to move from v1 to v2 of the sensor board is failed tests on non-coherent light sources. "Failed" means prediction based on these measurements didn't work.
  2. Version 2 deprecates "main" folder with all the schematics for main board (controller). Sensor board is stacked with TiniPICO development board and it is stacked with RGB IPS Display shield from add-ons menu.
  3. Sensor board programming, testing and obtaining the results is done using MAX32630FHTR application platform. Development was done in Mbed Studio

Structure

  • hull for the wearable device
  • lib is custom libraries for KiCad
  • main is a mainboad schematics. Valid only for v1. Not tested and not produced.
  • mech is 3D models for the KiCad component representation on PCB
  • sensor is sensor schematic, board, BOM, gerbers for production. Both versions were tested and produced

Questions

How big is the Sensor schematics PCB?

It measures 18.3 × 36.1 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sensor schematics use?

70 parts, built around the MAX32630IWG+T, MX25U51245GZ4I54, MAX14689EWL+T and MAX9062EBS+TG45. 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 Sensor schematics KiCad files?

From the sugar-sensor/sensor-schematics repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is main/main.kicad_pcb and its schematic sensor/sensor.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sensor schematics 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).
