GPS Breakout - NEO-M9N, Chip Antenna (Qwiic)
NEO-M9N GPS Breakout with on-board chip antenna is a high quality GPS board with equally impressive configuration options. The NEO-M9N module is a 92-channel u-blox M9 engine GNSS receiver, meaning it can receive signals from the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou constellations witn ~1.5 meter accuracy. This breakout supports concurrent reception of four GNSS. This maximizes position accuracy in challenging conditions, increasing precision and decreases lock time; and thanks to the onboard rechargeable battery, you'll have backup power enabling the GPS to get a hot lock within seconds! Additionally, this u-blox receiver supports I2C (u-blox calls this Display Data Channel) which made it perfect for the Qwiic compatibility so we don't have to use up our precious UART ports. Utilizing our handy Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still have broken out 0.1"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.... show more1 Star

SmartDeskPet v1.0 Shield Stage 1 status: - Goal: 5V input -> dual AMS1117-3.3 rails (+3V3_MCU and +3V3_WIFI) with common GND. - Note: Keep power nets explicitly named (avoid unnamed nets) to keep ERC happy. Stage 1 completion checklist: - Mark J1 Pin_1 (+5V) as a Power Output pin to satisfy ERC power-driver checks. - Verify all GND symbols/returns are on the same GND net. - Keep +5V_SERVO isolated from the main +5V net (only share GND). Stage 2 preparation notes (MPN/LCSC + layout constraints): - MPN/LCSC targets to define before Stage 2 exit: - AMS1117-3.3 (SOT-223): set exact MPN and (optionally) LCSC PN for both U1 and U2. - 100nF capacitor (0603): set MPN/LCSC for all 0603 100nF decouplers. - 4.7k resistor (0603): set MPN/LCSC for I2C pull-ups R1 and R2. - 1000uF bulk capacitor (radial): set MPN/LCSC for C7 (CP_Radial_D10.0mm_P5.00mm). - DC005 power jack/regulator input: select exact DC005 footprint + MPN/LCSC (if used). - 2.54mm headers/sockets: set MPN/LCSC for H1, H2, J1, J3, J4, J5, P3, P4, P5, and J2. - ESP-01S antenna keepout: - Reserve a copper keepout under and in front of the ESP-01S onboard antenna. - No copper pours/traces/components in the antenna region (top and bottom) per module guidelines. - H1/H2 header spacing: - Maintain 1000 mil spacing between H1 and H2 header centerlines (shield mechanical requirement). - Silkscreen placeholders: - Add silkscreen labels for: 5V IN, GND, +3V3_MCU, +3V3_WIFI, SERVO1, SERVO2, I2C SDA/SCL, DHT11, ASRPRO UART2, ESP-01S UART3. - Add placeholder text for: MPN, LCSC, board revision, and date code. Stage 3 layout constraints (placement and routing guidance): - Connector placement strategy: - Place H1 and H2 first to lock the shield mechanical interface; enforce 1000 mil spacing. - Place J1 and any DC005 input at the board edge for easy access. - Designated power area planning: - Group U1, U2, and C7 near the 5V entry point; keep high-current 5V and regulator loops short. - Use wide copper for +5V and any servo supply; stitch GND around power section. - Antenna keepout boundaries: - Place J2 (ESP-01S socket) at a board edge with the antenna facing outward. - Enforce a top-and-bottom copper keepout in the antenna region; keep noisy power traces away.... show moreArchitectural Lavender Translation Collar
Architectural Lavender Translation Collar – ESP32‑S3 Wi‑Fi + LoRa, USB‑C, Li‑ion, low‑power design Overview Experience a cutting-edge IoT solution with this low‑power board built around the ESP32‑S3‑MINI‑1‑N8. Designed for seamless Wi‑Fi (2.4 GHz), BLE, and LoRa (868 MHz) connectivity, this board integrates ENS161 and ENS210 sensors over I2C alongside an RFM95W‑868 LoRa radio on SPI. It is powered via a 3.7 V Li‑ion cell with USB‑C charging up to 500 mA, complete with full battery protection, a robust 3.3 V rail tailored for Wi‑Fi burst currents, and per‑peripheral power gating to enhance energy efficiency. Core Features • MCU: ESP32‑S3‑MINI‑1‑N8 equipped with an onboard PCB antenna for 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi/BLE, ensuring optimal wireless performance. • Sensors: Integrated ENS161 and ENS210 sensors utilize a shared I2C bus with controllable 4.7 kΩ pull‑ups for streamlined communication. • LoRa Radio: The RFM95W‑868 module, connected via SPI, enables long‑range communication at 868 MHz. Power & USB‑C Connectivity • Battery: A reliable 3.7 V 1200 mAh Li‑ion battery connected via a right‑angle JST‑PH 2‑pin connector features built‑in battery protection. • Charging: The USB‑C receptacle, with CC resistors and TVS protection on D+/D− along with series resistors, supports fast, safe charging with a current limit of 500 mA. • Regulation: A dedicated 3.3 V regulator capable of handling Wi‑Fi burst currents coupled with bulk and high‑frequency decoupling ensures stable operation, supported by status LEDs indicating power and charge states. Low‑Power Control • Peripheral Management: Load switches allow selective power‑gating of the ENS161, ENS210, and RFM95W modules, controlled directly by ESP32‑S3 GPIOs. • Energy Efficiency: Controllable I2C pull‑ups minimize idle current, vital for prolonged battery life in IoT applications. RF and Antenna Integration • 2.4 GHz: Utilizes the integrated PCB antenna on the ESP32‑S3 with proper ground/metal keep‑out zones for optimal signal integrity. • 868 MHz: Features a controlled‑impedance feed from the RFM95W to a PI matching network (C‑L‑C pads) with flexible antenna options—selectable via SMA connector, chip antenna, or PCB trace—and includes RF ESD protection. Connectivity & Debug Features • USB‑C Interface: Provides secure data connectivity with integrated safeguards and proper terminations. • Debugging: A comprehensive programming/debug header exposes EN, BOOT, and UART lines, with test points on key rails and buses (3V3, VBAT, SCK, MOSI, MISO, SDA, SCL, RESET/EN, GND) to simplify development and troubleshooting. Design Verification • Rigorous ERC/DRC and decoupling checks ensure adherence to component ratings and optimal signal routing. • Maintain RF keep‑outs and impedance‑controlled traces for both 2.4 GHz and 868 MHz paths, securing reliable performance even during high‑intensity operations. #IoT #ESP32S3 #LoRa #LowPowerDesign #USB-C #WirelessConnectivity #BatteryPowered #RFDesign... show moreSmart Glasses PCB
