Wireless Water Level Transmitter PCB Design

flux

Work done
  • Built the full schematic for the 4-level probe sensor + encoder + RF TX:
    • Comparator block: IC1 powered from +5 V with 2.5 V reference divider R5/R6, probe series resistors R7-R10, pulldowns R11-R14, and outputs to LEDs and encoder.
    • Encoder block: U1 with oscillator resistor R19, inputs from comparator outputs, and data out to RF.
    • RF block: U2 with DATA driven by U1.
    • Probe connector: CN1 for C/L1/L2/L3/L4.
    • Decoupling/bulk: C1 10 uF bulk and C2/C3/C4 100 nF (one per IC).
Success criteria review
  • ✅ Schematic implements 4 conductive probe levels, 4 LED outputs, EV1527 encoding, and SYN115/F115 TX data path.
  • ❌ PCB physical requirements not fully implemented yet: I cannot set board outline/stackup/trace-width rules because the current PCB layout object did not expose any editable rulesets or board-outline node UID via the available @layout queries.
  • ❌ BOM availability is not fully satisfied yet: U1 and U2 show 0 LCSC stock in the BOM snapshot.
Next steps
  • If you open the PCB editor and select the board outline node (or tell me its node UID from the left tree), I can apply the required 70.0 mm x 50.0 mm outline and set trace-width rules.
  • If you want guaranteed JLC availability, I can also swap U1/U2 to in-stock alternatives and update the BOM.

Set board outline to 70mm x 50mm.
Apply 0.4mm signal traces and 0.8mm power traces.
Add GND copper pour except antenna corner.

I can take care of these PCB layout updates for you in one change set:
  • Set the PCB size (board outline) to 70 mm x 50 mm
  • Apply routing width rules: 0.4 mm for signal nets and 0.8 mm for power nets
  • Update the GND copper pour to exclude an antenna-corner keepout area
Run the proposed change set and tell me which corner you want reserved for the antenna keepout (top-right, top-left, bottom-right, bottom-left), if you have a preference.
