About the R2-Dev-Backplane PCB
R2-Dev-Backplane is an open source PCB design by Manuvr, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 77.9 × 67.1 mm, with 33 components from 26 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the EMIF02-USB03F2 and LSF0204x. By type, the board carries 14 connectors, 4 ICs, 4 resistors, 3 diodes, 2 switches and 1 capacitor.
From the project
KiCAD source files for Manuvr's motion capture glove.
This is a backplane PCB for Digitabulum. When combined with the PowerPlant, it has the same schematic as the r2-Backplane.
This board is intended as a testing harness for functional subunits designed for use with the Digitabulum sensor package. This would be the board you would want for prototyping new CPLD designs, power supplies, or compute modules.
If you do not want to do those things, but just want a working glove, you should use the r2-Backplane instead.
