Preliminary PCB Layout and Design: Team 16 Presenter: Scott Stack Project Overview: A home security robot that is capable of autonomously patrolling a users home in search of intruders. It will also be capable of being controlled manually through a web site. Uses the Kinect as both a video camera and a 3D depth sensor that will be able to detect human forms.
Overall Layout Constraints Two separate PCBs : One for battery fuel gauge and one main board Fuel gauge must be powered at all times. Four separate power supply circuits 3.3V, 5V, 7.2V, 12V All linear switching regulators that require carful layout Wide traces for heavy current flow Isolation of high current circuits from digital logic 12 volt for atom board and Kinect up to a maximum of 3A 7.2 volt for motors up to an absolute maximum of 4A (typical ~400mA) Enough board space to accommodate external connectors RS232 header, 0.1” headers, RJ-11 jack, 2 barrel connectors Pad out unused pins on microcontroller Main board must be smaller than 10”x10” to fit on chassis Fuel gauge PCB must be as small as possible
