#Diptrace bom zip file#
Will next work on building a zip file with all of the necessary files to fabricate a few of them to try out.ĭipTrace PCB - Arduino Mega Shield with XBee.pdf (75.7 KB)

Also cleaned up some of the Silk screen arrows and the like. Things like, I did not like how I had the USART section, where the GND pins were innermost to the board, where in all other places they were outermost. Since yesterday I have done some more cleanup. It probably would not be hard to add a Max232, but don’t have any more room for any connectors, as with the XBee can’t put any taller things below it. So far I have not had a need for a 2nd USB or RS232. May later play with other versions, that other stuff, like you mentioned. To fabricate this board, I will probably use. In addition you need to generate an N/C Drill file for the design. There are seperate files for each of the layers (Board outline, top silk, top mask, top traces, bottom traces, bottom mask, …). Gerber files are files that you generate from the design (either Eagle, Diptrace…) that you send off to the board manufacturer. I purchased the standard version which allows me 4 signal layers and 1000 pads. If you are doing your designs not for profit, you can have it upgraded to a version that could edit it (500 pads). My current board has too many parts (actually pads) for the standard freeware version, which I believe allows a maximum of 300 pads and 2 layers. You can download a Freeware version of Diptrace from: /
#Diptrace bom plus#
Will try the first one out with an older Arduino Mega I have sitting around, then I will try it out with the Chipkit Max32.ĭiptrace like Eagle is a Schematic Capture, plus card layout with an auto-router. I probably need to make another pass through and verify that I got all of the locations of things correct and then I will probably have a few of these boards fabricated for me. I2C EEPROM - Added the eeprom plus PU resistors. I have this default through shunts to use USART 3 XBee: Setup to do voltage conversions - Need to verify I did this correct. 1 group has PU resistors for PS2ġ6 Analog pins with 3 pin headers - Again can choose vs/+5V on each 4 pin group. The biggest challenge was to leave enough room free to allow for an XBee.ģ2 Digital IO pins with 3 pin headers- that you can choose VS/+5V on groups of 4 pins.

The board is larger than standard Lynxmotion boards, but for the majority of my robots that should not be an issue.ĭipTrace-PCB-Arduino-Mega.jpg 1100×850 130 KBĪs you can probably see, I have this board pretty full of stuff. What I came up with was a board that had 3 out of 4 mounting holes that match up with the Standard Lynxmotion boards. I tried both Eagle and Diptrace and found that I personally prefer Diptrace. So I started to play around with some of the different CAD programs out there. Note: personally I am not that big into shields, and wish there were boards that had the basic functionality that I want, but when in Rome… Both of these platforms are based on the Arduino Mega footprint… I think it would be a lot of fun to try out several of my robots on these newer platforms, so I thought it would be nice to have a shield that had all of the things I needed and that I could plug into these boards.
#Diptrace bom 32 bit#
Also hopefully soon Arduino will release the Arduino Due, which is a 96mhz 32 bit ARM processor. The boards and IDE make them reasonably compatible with the Arduinos. I have also experimented with the Chipkit boards which are based on an 80mhz 32 bit Pic32MX processor. I like this board as it is compact and not that different in size to the normal Lynxmotion boards. This included the fun with experimenting with a shield for the Arduino Mega, that was built to plug into the Seeeduino Mega. Over the last many months, I have had the fun of experimenting with several different Micro-controllers and having a lot of fun.
