This log presents the bill of materials of our new PCB EJA M v1.0. This new PCB will replace our intelligent buoy (Buoy A v1.0 and Buoy B v1.0), and our Onboard Gateway v1.0.
Full Version
To create an intelligent buoy we need to solder the complete PCB EJA M v1.0. The following table contains all the components and their current price (obtained at the moment of writing this log, it might change in the future).
PCB Components
External Components
Name | Quantity | Price |
SERVOMOTOR RC 5V HIGH TORQUE | 1 | $9.95 |
CR2032 Lithium Coin Cell Battery | 1 | $0.95 |
18650 Lithium-Ion 3.7V Battery Rechargeable 3.4Ah | 1 | $11.99 |
ADXL343 - Triple-Axis Accelerometer | 1 | $5.95 |
The overall price of the full PCB is $108.39.
Comparing the price to our previous PCB designs we have:
Design | Buoy A v1.0 | Buoy B v1.0 | EJA M v1.0 (Full) |
Features | - ESP32 - LoRa - GPS - Servo Motor - Real Time Clock - DC Motor - 4G (LTE) | - ESP32 - LoRa - GPS - Servo Motor - Real Time Clock - DC Motor | - ESP32 - LoRa - GPS - Servo Motor - Real Time Clock - Battery Charger - Battery Level Indicator - Accelerometer |
Price | $201.01 | $131.02 | $108.39 |
Reduced Version
To create an Onboard Gateway we can use the PCB EJA M v1.0 with less components than the full version. The following table contains the required components and their current price (obtained at the moment of writing this log, it might change in the future).
