Overview

Node v6 2 0 is an open-source printed circuit board by VTC-WISDOM, from the VTC-WISDOM/node_hardware repository on GitHub, published under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence. It is a 6-layer board of 45 × 75 mm with 100 parts on 122 nets, routed with 813 tracks and 227 vias.

It is built around the RP2040, SIM7080G and AP2112K-3.3, with the PCF8523T, SP3485EN-Y and USBLC6-2SC6 among its other parts. Its parts include 42 capacitors, 19 resistors, 10 ICs, 10 connectors and 3 diodes. It belongs with the RP2040 boards of this library.

hardware

a collection of schematic and pcb designs for the WiSDOM node unless otherwise specified, everything contained in this repository is licensed under the CERN Open Hardware License version 2 - Weakly Reciprocal License (CERN-OHL-W). this is comparable to the gpl2, see LICENSE for details

Using this repo

using your favorite package manager, install kicad-footprints and kicad-symbols alongside kicad. this is the best way to get the standard libraries. if you for some reason cannot do so, see the linked official kicad libraries in kicad-libs/footprints and kicad-libs/symbols. in the kicad symbol editor, go to preferences -> manage symbol libraries and select "add existing", navigate to the kicad-libs/symbols directory and select the symbol libraries contained therein. repeat this with the symbols contained in kicad-libs/JLCPCB-Kicad-Library. repeat this for footprints.

will add as much documentation as possible!

Node V6 (RP2040)

changes:

  • removed 5v regulator
  • changed rp2040 xtal to the recommended part due to availability
  • changed the sim card slot due to availability
  • reviewed other parts and made changes to ensure full availability from both JLC and Digikey
  • changed footprints over to JLC library footprints
  • major layout changes- pin headers now broken out in two halves, etc - look at the pcb for a full description
  • removed jst connectors (evil) and replaced them with barrel jacks
  • mounting holes now m2.5 instead of m2

Node V5 (RP2040)

SIM7080G NON-FUNCTIONAL

change since previous version:

  • added USBLC6 esd protection on the usb line
  • added CAT24 eeprom ic
  • removed options for rtc to stick with just the PCF8523
  • added SP3485 for RS485 / MODBUS communication
  • added u.fl connector for the ism radio
  • changed to narrower profile pushbuttons for run/bootsel
  • added additional reset switch to interrupt 3.3V to the board entirely (used to reset the device to a known state for all components including the radios)
  • yet more improvements to routing
  • updated design to be mostly assembled by JLC pcb fab available components

Questions

How big is the Node v6 2 0 PCB?

It measures 45 × 75 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Node v6 2 0 use?

100 parts, built around the RP2040, SIM7080G, AP2112K-3.3 and PCF8523T. 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 Node v6 2 0 KiCad files?

From the VTC-WISDOM/node_hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is node-rp2040/node_v6_2_0/node_v6_2_0.kicad_pcb and its schematic antennas/915-yagi/915-yagi-v2/yagi/yagi.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Node v6 2 0 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
