FilaScale-S

Simple through-hole board implementing a no-gui FilaScale

This is a small Arduino Nano-based board designed to implement the sensor suite of a FilaScale but without a GUI, and using through-hole parts.

It was built to the requirements of a filament monitoring device. The board provides:

  • Humidity, temperature and weight monitoring of a spool of filament in a drybox
  • RFID tag reader
  • Serial communications with a host over USB

Questions

How big is the FilaScale S PCB?

It measures 65 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the FilaScale S use?

16 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 FilaScale S KiCad files?

From the wallaceowen/FilaScale-S repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is FilaScale-s.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the FilaScale S design in my own project?

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