About the Case connector PCB

Case connector is an open source PCB design by DPIclimate, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 100 × 43 mm, with 8 components from 3 distinct parts.

It belongs with the iot & wireless, power & battery and sensors designs in this gallery.

From the project

Agriculture node for SDI-12 (and other) sensors.

Enviro-node is a environmental monitoring node. Users can connect a number of sensors to a node. Data captured from these sensors is then sent to a database over MQTT.

The hardware was developed using KiCad. Source files can be found here. While sleeping the Enviro-node will consume ~70 µA.

The device incorporates a ESP32 microcontroller to handle bluetooth functions and peripherals. The ESP32 has a very low sleep current of ~16 µA making it perfect for low-powered applications.
