  • Fourth Stream Summary

  • We're done with the routing!On yesterday's stream (that went on for 5h, but the Feather was done around hour 4), I finished routing the board and putting all the finishing touches like the silkscreen. The board is now ready to order!
  • Revision 1 Design

  • Since the ATSAML21 is such a close relative to the ATSAMD21, this layout is based somewhat on Adafruit's Feather M0 line. However, it also incorporates solar cells for energy harvesting, an accelerometer, and a barometer. Initial specifications are as...
  • Getting the hardware going

  • I've broken down the hardware aspect of the project into a few steps.HelloWorld (blink LED 13) on the Adafruit Feather Bluetooth LE - completeCommunicate via i2c with the9dof IMU via i2c - completeCreate a circuit to drive the vibration motors - completeCommunicate...
  • IoT and background radiation monitoring.

  • Each element of the Cosmic Array is essentially a complete cosmic ray (muon) detector and radiation (gamma) monitor. So it can not only be used in a light and sound display but also be used to measure both cosmic ray flux and background radiation. So...

  • Result of some Digging

  • First of all: this the first time I used an Adafruit product and while it costs more comporaed to other sites I am glad I did purchase it there for the followin reasons:It worksIt a very good quality and the design is goodall is open source/visible sourcego...
  • Creating a Case for the Logger

  • Adafruit does a great job of making their 3D designs available in Fusion 360 archive format. That made it easy for me to modify their TFT FeatherWing Design. Specifically, I made four changes: removed the on-off slide switch on the left sideadded...
  • Ordered Boards for Production

  • Ordering 100 boards from PCBWay, as someone bought out my entire stock of Octosonars. Tweaked the design as follows: upped all the 6 mil tracks to 8 mil - the OSHpark boards failed on the first pass. I'm not sure if this is related, but there was...
  • Design phase finished! (I think.)

  • I took some time last night to complete the board's design. After a last-ditch effort to see if there was some way to include I2C on this board (short answer: no flippin' way), I moved things around so the mike output could go to any of A1-A5 with a...
  • RoverWing CrowdSupply

  • The day you have all been waiting for is finally here! The RoverWing campaign is finally launching on the Crowd Supply platform, after weeks of hard work and preparations to ensure that everyone who wants one gets a RoverWing as soon as possible. A quick...
  • Assembled

  • The PCBs arrived a while ago, but I was still waiting for the SMD pin headers. Those arrived today, so I assembled it. Using those headers for the first time, I'm actually quite happy with them. The only problem I can see is that the default Fritzing...
  • Designing the PCB

  • I wanted to keep the design 2-layer, and with some insignificant shortcuts, I kept it at two layers. I have tried to avoid large currents to pass around INA3221 to prevent ground bouncing, so I added some cutouts in the ground. Cutouts are...
  • Hardware

  • I started by buying a Feather M0 Express from Adafruit when it was brand new, enticed by the then new-ish CircuitPython because I knew a little Python from a college.  The feather sat around for almost 6 months while I researched components,...
