Jumper Details
This board contains hardware jumpers; see below for their locations and functions:
| Jumper | Default State | Function |
|---|---|---|
| JP1 | NC (Normally closed) | Connects SDA/SCL pull-up resistors to 5V for I2C communication. |
| JP2 | NC | Connects SDA/SCL pull-up resistors to 3.3V for I2C communication. |
| JP3 | NC | Address jumper (more below) that allows swapping between 2 addresses. |
| JP4 | NO (Normally open) | When shorted, it bypasses the voltage regulator, allowing the board to be powered directly from 3.3V via headers. Ensure JP6 is disconnected if JP4 is connected. |
| JP5 | NC | Selects between SPI and I2C communication modes. |
| JP6 | NC | When connected, the voltage regulator is powered by 5V, stepping it down to 3.3V. |
Address jumper
As mentioned before, the JP3 is an address jumper for the I2C address that, when left open, has an address of 0x6A, while when closed, its address changes to 0x6B.
Hardware repository
The hardware repository contains everything you need to understand, modify, or manufacture the board. The different output folders are versioned. You can check which board version you have specifically by finding the version mark on the PCB.
Below is an overview of the available files.
CAD files
We use KiCad, an open-source PCB design tool. You can open and edit the .kicad_pro project file, which includes both the schematic and PCB layout.
The PANEL files are used internally for production.
Schematic
The OUTPUTS folder contains the schematic in .pdf format, exported from KiCad.
BOM (Bill of Materials)
The bill of materials (BOM) is provided in two formats:
- A standard
.csvtable, listing all components, part numbers, and values. - An interactive BOM (
.html) that visually highlights each component on the PCB, making it easy to locate and reference parts.
3D files
A 3D model of the PCB is available in .step format, allowing you to inspect the board design in CAD software.
Gerber files
Gerber files are essential for PCB manufacturing, as they contain precise instructions for each layer of the board. The repository includes standard Gerber outputs in a .zip file, such as:
- Copper layers (
.Cu.gbr) – Defines the traces and pads on the board. - Solder mask layers (
.Mask.gbr) – Specifies the protective solder mask. - Silkscreen layers (
.Silkscreen.gbr) – Contains text and component markings. - Paste layers (
.Paste.gbr) – Used for stencil fabrication in SMD assembly. - Drill files (
.drl) – Provides drilling coordinates for vias and holes. - Board outline (
.Edge_Cuts.gbr) – Defines the shape of the PCB. - Gerber job file (
.gbrjob) – Describes the set of Gerber files used for production.
These files are ready for fabrication and can be used in PCB manufacturing.
Compliance
The Compliance section includes important regulatory and safety documentation for this product. These files ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and legal requirements.
- CE – Certification document confirming compliance with EU safety, health, and environmental requirements.
- UKCA – UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) certification for the UK market.
- Safety Instructions – Safety guidelines and precautions in English and in German.
- Info.txt – Contains product details such as SKU, country of origin, HS tariff code, and barcode.
