About

TS14 – TROPIC01 Arduino Shield A KiCad-based hardware project designed to interface the TROPIC01 device with standard Arduino development boards.

This shield allows easy integration of TROPIC01 into Arduino-based environments for development, testing, and prototyping. It is intended for internal use and partner evaluation setups, following the Arduino mechanical and electrical interface.

Project structure

  • *.kicad_pro - KiCad project file
  • *.kicad_sch - Schematic file
  • *.kicad_pcb - PCB layout file
  • ./out/ - Generated Gerber files for PCB manufacturing
  • ./bom/ - Bill of materials, including order codes and interactive BOM
  • ./img/ - Images (e.g. PCB renders)
  • *_schematics.pdf - Exported schematic diagrams (latest version)

Manufacturing instructions:

Assembly

IC1/CON1: Chose one variant, assembly IC1 or CON1 (not both on one board). Chose bom/bom_variant_*.

Because Arduino boards use female sockets, the shield's connectors must be mounted on the top side to allow the pins to extend through to the bottom side for proper connection. \

There are no any special requirements for C and R components. Where not specified the R tolerance is 5% and C 20%.

Questions

How big is the Ts13 dev kit PCB?

It measures 20 × 60 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.89 mm thick.

What parts does the Ts13 dev kit use?

72 parts, built around the TPS22917DBV and PRTR5V0U2X. 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 Ts13 dev kit KiCad files?

From the tropicsquare/devboards repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is TROPIC01_USB_Devkit/PCB/TS1301/ts13_dev_kit.kicad_pcb and its schematic TROPIC01_Arduino_Shield/TS1401/ts14-arduino-shield.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ts13 dev kit design in my own project?

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