TinyCI

General Concept:

TinyCi Main

Relay board controlled by a W32-ETH01 module.

Input: 5V

Produced:

  • v0.5: x5 produced, x4 soldered, x3 used in production
  • v0.7: x5 produced & used in production
  • v0.8: Design done

ESP32 Firmware: see firmware/tinyci-fw/

Remote Relay Control script: see firmware/tinyci-fw/tinyci-relay.py

TinyCi USB

Secondary Relay board controlled by the W32-ETH01 on the main board.

Input: 5V to 12V

Produced:

  • v0.1: x5 produced, x3 soldered, x2 used in production
  • v0.3: x5 Produced, x0 used in production

TinySerial

Quad FTDI board + breakout of all FTDI I/Os with the TinyCi form factor + holes to hook a Pi/LaFrite/LePotato to control the FTDI + TinyCi USBs.

Input: USB

Produced:

  • v1: x5 Produced, failed to bringup, will be replaced with OctoSerial using CH348Q

Questions

How big is the Tinyci usb PCB?

It measures 110 × 82.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Tinyci usb use?

49 parts, built around the BC337. 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 Tinyci usb KiCad files?

From the superna9999/tinyci repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is tinyci-usb/tinyci-usb.kicad_pcb and its schematic tinyci-main/USB_Connectors.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Tinyci usb design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask superna9999 before reusing the design.
