MicroSense '24

MicroSense is a sensor package for the UCA Electrical Tutorials for 2024. It is a 18.24x10mm 2 layer PCB with the following sensors:

  1. LSM6DS3TR-C 6-axis IMU
  2. LPS22HB Barometer
  3. LIS2MDL 3-axis Magnetometer

Additionally there is also space for a H3LIS100DLTR High-g accelerometer as a future provision. All communication is over I2C and powered by 3.3V.

Questions

How big is the Sense PCB?

It measures 18.2 × 10 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sense use?

12 parts, built around the LIS2MDL, LPS22HB, H3LIS100DL and LSM6DS3TR-C. 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 Sense KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Sense design in my own project?

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