About the F91 main board nf
F91 main board nf is an open source TI MSP430/CC PCB design by jacobl423, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 24.4 × 24.4 mm, with 65 components from 43 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the CC2640(long pads), from the TI MSP430/CC family. Other key parts include the BT_Antenna and 5050660622. By type, the board carries 18 capacitors, 6 resistors, 5 inductors, 3 connectors, 2 ICs and 2 crystals.
It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.
From the project
updated f91 kepler project
Found here are the PCB files as well as 3D parts that were made to accommodate this project.
My first design for the board used FPC connectors for the display (4 pin) as well as one for programming/debugging (11 pin). This was later changed to use the Molex board to board connector for the display and small connection points across the PCB for programming/debugging. These changes were made to save room and make it easier to not have to solder and unsolder an FPC connector for programming/debugging. The connection points are hard to see in the real images, but are visible in the render seen…
