About the Exoskeleton-Glove PCB

Exoskeleton-Glove is an open source PCB design by ReeyanshShah, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 65 × 112.9 mm, with 11 components from 7 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the BOB-09056, YAAJ_DCDC_StepDown_LM2596 and SC0918. By type, the board carries 6 connectors, 3 ICs, 1 module and 1 diode.

It belongs with the power & battery designs in this gallery.

From the project

In a nutshell, our design collects data from rotary potentiometers serially, sends them to Rpi pico which in turn quickly cycles through the available channels in a round robin fashion while powering everything using an LM2596 Buck converter

In a nutshell, our design collects data from rotary potentiometers serially, sends them to Rpi pico which in turn quickly cycles through the available channels in a round robin fashion while powering everything using an LM2596 Buck converter

Our PCB design has the ability to support upto 24 rotary potentiometers due to which we have 24 ports connected to ground and 24 ports connected to VCC(3.3V output from sensor). We connected these to the 3.3v supply of Pico instead of our main power supply which is LM2596 because cd74hc4067 multiplexers are designed to take an input between 0 and 3.3V.…
