LoRa LED Gate – EP3: PCB Schematic

Never done this, let’s try it!

PCB Requirements

  • 2s Li-Ion power (5,4 – 8,4V) via battery holder
  • reverse polarity protection
  • up to 6s external power (5,4 – 28V) via XT60 connector
  • mechanical power switch
  • 1-3 push buttons
  • USB-C connector for flashing (no power)
  • 5V 4A rail for LEDs
  • 3,3V 1A rail for MCU
  • footprint for Heltec HT-CT62 module
  • optional: PWM LED output for up to 3-4 channels

I know two free software tools for designing a PCB: KiCAD and EasyEDA. Because the second option is web-based I opted for that.
