Sensor Board

[!TIP] This board is part of a larger modular control board ecosystem, CACKLE

This is a connector breakout board for vertical mezzanine connectors on a hub. It has one Qwiic connector, two nanoSPI connectors, and header breakouts for the free pins, chip select pins, and the SPI pins. Essentially it breaks out every pin accessible via the mezzanine connector.

Note that this does not fit the hubs by default because it sticks into the hub chaining headers. You will need a Vertical Spacer, or use the 2 connector sensor breakout instead, which does fit.

Questions

How big is the Sensor Board PCB?

It measures 10 × 15 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sensor Board use?

12 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 Sensor Board KiCad files?

From the techy-robot/CACKLE-Expansion-Sensor_Board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Sensor Board.kicad_pcb and its schematic Sensor Board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sensor Board design in my own project?

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