SCuM Eval Board
This page contains the details on the new SCuM Eval Boards
Small version features
SCuM
GPIO headers
Dimensions smaller than 40 mm x 50 mm (not sure about lower limit yet)
Standoffs
Big version features
SCuM
All SCuM pads have either a pin header or a via to be used as a testpoint nearby with the exception of aLOAD, aSCANIN, and aSCSEL whose testpoints can be found in the bottom right corner of the board near the antenna section right at the corresponding level shifter.
Development region
8 rows of 4 connected pads
Mounting holes for standoffs
Pins
Two different boards for Teensy and nRF
Teensy 3.6 (names as referenced here: https://github.com/PisterLab/scum-test-code/blob/master/scm_v3c/teensy_uC_programmer/teensy_uC_programmer.ino https://github.com/PisterLab/scum-test-code/blob/master/scm_v3c/teensy_uC_programmer/teensy_uC_programmer.ino).

Notes for those assembling boards
Small board
Don’t put R1 and R2 on the board since we don’t want to configure IMU into I2C mode
Big board
For first iteration on board, don’t put R5 and R6 since we don’t want IMU in I2C mode
Don’t put C1 and L4 since we don’t want to use the chip antenna (at least not yet). Additionally the chip antenna shouldn’t be added.
The through hole antenna will be solder on after the surface mount components (Austin will do this)
We moved to through hole USB port. This should still be soldered on with the solder paste and then I (Austin) can solder the final connections.
The USB port has a new capacitor on it that doesn’t have a label…. I believe 0.1uF should be fine to put there
