import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import pandas as pd # Prices of ICs in the project ic_prices = { "U1: RT8059GJ5": 0.14089, "U2: CN3063": 0.5507, "U3: SY6280AAAC": 0.0977, "U4: LoRa-E5 (STM32WLE5JC)": 26.1918, "U6: XIAO RP2040": 4.68, "IC1: MT3608L": 0.0398, "IC2: SP3485EN-L/TR": 0.36906, } # Create a pandas DataFrame df = pd.DataFrame(list(ic_prices.items()), columns=["IC", "Price"]) # Sort the DataFrame by price in descending order df_sorted = df.sort_values(by="Price", ascending=False) # Plot the data plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6)) plt.bar(df_sorted["IC"], df_sorted["Price"], color='teal') plt.xlabel('ICs') plt.ylabel('Price ($)') plt.title('Prices of ICs in the Green Dot Board Project') plt.xticks(rotation=45, ha="right") plt.tight_layout() plt.show()
Here is the bar graph showing the prices of the main ICs used in your project.
Based on the chart, the most expensive IC by far is the LoRa-E5 module (STM32WLE5JC), followed by the XIAO RP2040. Below is a table with recommendations for potential alternatives for these parts:
Table
| IC Designator | Original Part Number | Potential Alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| U4 | 317990687 (LoRa-E5) | - RAK3172 (RAKwireless) |
| U6 | 102010428 (XIAO RP2040) | - ESP32-WROOM-32 (Espressif Systems) |
| U2 | CN3063 | - MCP73831 (Microchip) |
| IC2 | SP3485EN-L/TR | - MAX485ESA+ (Maxim Integrated) |
| U1 | RT8059GJ5 | - TPS62082DSGT (Texas Instruments) |
| U3 | SY6280AAAC | - AP3211 (Diodes Incorporated) |
Remember to check the datasheets of the recommended alternatives to ensure they meet the specifications and requirements of your project. Let me know if you need further assistance!

To obtain the prices for each main IC in your project and plot a bar graph showing the most expensive ICs, we'll follow these steps:
- Extract the prices for each main IC from the available stock and prices information.
- Use Python to create a bar graph.
- Provide recommendations for alternatives in a table format.
Let's start by gathering the prices:
-
XIAO RP2040 U6: 102010428
- Price: $4.68
-
LoRa-E5 STM32WLE5JC U4: 317990687
- Price: $6.83
-
RS485 Transceiver IC2: SP3485EN-L/TR
- Price: $0.36906
-
Buck Converter U1: RT8059GJ5
- Price: $0.14089
-
Power Switch U3: SY6280AAAC
- Price: $0.0977
-
Battery Charger IC U2: CN3063
- Price: $0.5507
-
Boost Converter IC1: MT3608L
- Price: $0.0398
Now, let's use Python to create a bar graph with these prices:
Python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Names of ICs ic_names = ["XIAO RP2040 (U6)", "LoRa-E5 (U4)", "RS485 Transceiver (IC2)", "Buck Converter (U1)", "Power Switch (U3)", "Battery Charger IC (U2)", "Boost Converter (IC1)"] # Prices of ICs ic_prices = [4.68, 6.83, 0.36906, 0.14089, 0.0977, 0.5507, 0.0398] # Plotting the bar graph plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5)) plt.bar(ic_names, ic_prices, color='skyblue') plt.xlabel("IC Names") plt.ylabel("Prices ($)") plt.title("Prices of Main ICs in the Project") plt.xticks(rotation=45, ha='right') plt.tight_layout() plt.show()
Next, I'll recommend alternatives for each of these parts:
Table
| Original IC | Price ($) | Recommended Alternative | Price ($) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 102010428 (XIAO RP2040) | 4.68 | ATSAMD21E18A | ~2.00 | Lower power consumption, similar functionality |
| 317990687 (LoRa-E5) | 6.83 | RN2483 | ~5.00 | LoRaWAN module, similar frequencies |
| SP3485EN-L/TR (RS485) | 0.36906 | MAX485ESA+ | 0.50 | Widely used, similar performance |
| RT8059GJ5 (Buck Converter) | 0.14089 | MP2315 | 0.20 | Higher efficiency, wide input range |
| SY6280AAAC (Power Switch) | 0.0977 | AOZ1935 | 0.15 | Similar functionality, low RDS(on) |
| CN3063 (Battery Charger) | 0.5507 | MCP73831 | 0.40 | Lower cost, popular choice |
| MT3608L (Boost Converter) | 0.0398 | TPS61040 | 0.30 | Higher efficiency, similar features |
Let me proceed to run the Python code and show the resulting bar graph.
Code Interpreter
Python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Names of ICs ic_names = ["XIAO RP2040 (U6)", "LoRa-E5 (U4)", "RS485 Transceiver (IC2)", "Buck Converter (U1)", "Power Switch (U3)", "Battery Charger IC (U2)", "Boost Converter (IC1)"] # Prices of ICs ic_prices = [4.68, 6.83, 0.36906, 0.14089, 0.0977, 0.5507, 0.0398] # Plotting the bar graph plt.figure(figsize=(10, 5)) plt.bar(ic_names, ic_prices, color='skyblue') plt.xlabel("IC Names") plt.ylabel("Prices ($)") plt.title("Prices of Main ICs in the Project") plt.xticks(rotation=45, ha='right') plt.tight_layout() plt.show()
Here is the bar graph showing the prices of the main ICs in your project:
Image
From the graph, you can see that the most expensive ICs are the LoRa-E5 U4 and the XIAO RP2040 U6.
To help you optimize the cost, I have prepared a table recommending alternatives for these main ICs:
Table
| Original IC | Price ($) | Recommended Alternative | Price ($) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 102010428 (XIAO RP2040) | 4.68 | ATSAMD21E18A | ~2.00 | Lower power consumption, similar functionality |
| 317990687 (LoRa-E5) | 6.83 | RN2483 | ~5.00 | LoRaWAN module, similar frequencies |
| SP3485EN-L/TR (RS485) | 0.36906 | MAX485ESA+ | 0.50 | Widely used, similar performance |
| RT8059GJ5 (Buck Converter) | 0.14089 | MP2315 | 0.20 | Higher efficiency, wide input range |
| SY6280AAAC (Power Switch) | 0.0977 | AOZ1935 | 0.15 | Similar functionality, low RDS(on) |
| CN3063 (Battery Charger) | 0.5507 | MCP73831 | 0.40 | Lower cost, popular choice |
| MT3608L (Boost Converter) | 0.0398 | TPS61040 | 0.30 | Higher efficiency, similar features |

You can choose between polarized and non-polarized types, its symbol and the footprint will automatically adapt based on your selection. Supported options include standard SMD sizes for ceramic capacitors (e.g., 0402, 0603, 0805), SMD sizes for aluminum electrolytic capacitors, and through-hole footprints for polarized capacitors.

The "Green Dot 2040E5" Board is a Node that interfaces RS485 Sensor probes and can log information to the cloud using LoRa Connectivity. It uses the XIAO RP2040 and the LoRa-E5 (STM32WLE5JC) modules from Seeed Studio to do its magic. It also has amazing power management capabilities (Solar charging, Battery protection, etc) that make it very useful for IoT applications
