Overview

Light sensor module is an open-source printed circuit board by valveteam, from the valveteam/lighting-module repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 47.6 × 31.8 mm with 29 parts on 14 nets, routed with 240 tracks and 26 vias.

It is built around the VEML6030. Its parts include 9 resistors, 6 capacitors, 4 diodes, 3 ICs and 3 connectors. It belongs with the sensors and measurement and audio and music boards of this library.

lighting-module

This repository holds the KiCad design files for the light sensor module of the valve, containing the following:

  • Schematics for the light sensor module.
  • PCB design files for the light sensor module.
  • Gerber and drill files required for manufacture of the PCB.

Notes:

  • The circuit and PCB designs for this module currently use the STR05S3V3 Switching Regulator for voltage regulation (datasheet here). Due to supply issues, we had to move the voltage regulation to a different component, the TR05S3V3 (datasheet here) and we have moved this circuitry to the control module.

Questions

How big is the Light sensor module PCB?

It measures 47.6 × 31.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Light sensor module use?

29 parts, built around the VEML6030. 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 Light sensor module KiCad files?

From the valveteam/lighting-module repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is light-sensor-module.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Light sensor module design in my own project?

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