About the Argo v9-stable rev4 PCB
Argo v9-stable rev4 is an open source PCB design by SensorsINI, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 94.8 × 67.2 mm, with 94 components from 58 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the MP2672GD-0000, orange_pi_zero_2w_2GB, MAX11612, CH221K and TXS0102. By type, the board carries 36 resistors, 9 ICs, 7 LEDs, 7 capacitors, 5 connectors and 3 diodes.
It belongs with the power & battery, sensors and rf & radio designs in this gallery.
From the project
Code for Autonomous sail boat
This directory contains all the printed circuit board (PCB) design files, libraries, and documentation for the Argo autonomous sailboat project.
The design was done with KiCad version 9 stable. It is important to use the stable KiCad version, not the development release, since KiCad will not open files from later versions! - Download KiCad stable here
Outstanding bugs: The rev4 PCB requires soldering a single 10k resistor to ground from the buzzer testpoint to prevent buzzer activation during boot. This resistor should be added to rev 5.
