Overview

Mc screen breakout is an open-source printed circuit board by sugo14, from the sugo14/Watch repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 32 × 20 mm with 28 parts on 59 nets, routed with 200 tracks and 27 vias.

It is built around the MDBT50Q-1MV2, CMM-3424DT-26165-TR and NANOT160BP. Its parts include 10 capacitors, 3 diodes, 2 resistors, 2 ICs and 2 connectors. It belongs with the interfaces and adapters boards and the nRF52 and nRF5x boards of this library.

README

README.md

This is one of my first major electronics projects (post-CanSat)!

Project

The goal of this project is to design a custom smartwatch that fits for my personal use case. That includes:

  • Shows the time (obviously)
  • Maintains a BLE connection with the associated phone
    • Displays notifications
    • Displays current song playing on Spotify
  • Has a push-to-talk mic
    • Streams voice notes to the associated phone, for possible analysis later

Organization

mc-screen-breakout has the first revision of the smartwatch PCB, including the MCU module (containing RF stuff asw), a USB-C port, exposed SWD pins, the screen FPC connector, and the microphone.

watch will contain iterations of the watch PCB that connect to battery and (theoretically) function properly inside the full system, rather than a breakout.

Questions

How big is the Mc screen breakout PCB?

It measures 32 × 20 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mc screen breakout use?

28 parts, built around the MDBT50Q-1MV2, CMM-3424DT-26165-TR and NANOT160BP. 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 Mc screen breakout KiCad files?

From the sugo14/Watch repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is mc-screen-breakout/mc-screen-breakout.kicad_pcb and its schematic mc-screen-breakout/mc-screen-breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mc screen breakout design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask sugo14 before reusing the design.
