4 Layer version just arrived
06/07/2018 at 14:48 • 0 commentsSome sample of the 4 layer version are arrived from #JLPCB, Now we have to solder and test.
If everything will works, this will be the final HW version!
The internal layer are the follower:
TOP Layer:
GND Layer:
VCC Layer:
BOTTOM Layer:

Almost Done!
05/30/2018 at 15:07 • 0 commentsFirst of all, many thanks to Hackaday for the prize on the "Open Hardware Design Challenge"
We were busy to organize our marriage in last few weeks.
But now it is time to continue our project!
The firmware is almost complete, only debugging part is missing.
Regarding the temperature sensor: the temperature sensor of the PIC is uncalibrated. This means that user has to calibrate the sensor first if the user needs this functionality.We also decided to use 4 layer PCB, the internal 2 layers are GND and VCC.
In this way the power path has low impedance, useful in the chain connection, plus the other traces are better routed. -
Adding temperature sensor
04/10/2018 at 15:33 • 0 commentsI just noticed that the PIC16F18344 has an internal temperature sensor connected to the ADC.
So, why not make the temperature available?
I think i will add an extra register where i will store te temperature in Celsius.
The temperature will not very accurate, but i think is some case can be useful.
