TRANSMITTER
About the TRANSMITTER PCB
TRANSMITTER is an open source PCB design by vul-os, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 55 × 41.6 mm, with 14 components from 14 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the LM358 and LM555xN. By type, the board carries 5 connectors, 4 resistors, 2 ICs, 1 transistor, 1 diode and 1 capacitor.
It belongs with the sensors, robotics & motion and iot & wireless designs in this gallery.
From the project
Zana — open-hardware for the physical world: robot mowers, security & cleaning bots, sensor nodes and cameras that plug into any control plane. Build them yourself. FreeCAD + KiCad.
Open-hardware design for an autonomous robot mower with inductive charging — the first Zana device.
Originally prototyped as "mowbot"; preserved here as the reference design.
- mowbot.FCStd … mowbot4.FCStd — main body / chassis, four iterations. mowbot4 is the latest; build from that one. - shaft.FCStd / .3mf, coupler.FCStd, gt2-pulley.FCStd — drivetrain: shafts, couplers, pulley. - alimunumcoupler* — aluminium coupler variant (STL + FreeCAD). alcoup.dxf / .svg / .pdf are its 2D cutting profiles. - castorfitting, socket.FCStd, plate.dxf — castor mount, a connector/socket part, and the…
