PCB Design for Electronic Wind Monitoring Prototype

$25-50 USD / hour

I am developing an electronic prototype device that will monitor windspeed and direction using an array of air pressure sensors. This prototype will be tested in a wind tunnel. The device will be physically connected by a USB connector to a laptop computer that will display the sensor output and log the sensor readings for later study and analysis. I have included documentation and links for all the specifications described below. This project is underway and the work needed here was begun by another Freelance who was unable to compete the project. Deliverables First Deliverable: Design 2 small PCBs The first PCB will hold 3 air flow sensors (I2C) mounted side by side with a 4.7k Ohm pull-up resistor on each sensor's SCL and SDL outputs. The resistors need to be easily hand soldered and the values may need to be changed on occasion so the design will need to accommodate this possibility. The back of the board will have a wire-to-board-connector that will allow the first board to connect to the second board. The connectors should be mounted to minimize the overall profile effect of the wiring. There is an included graphic that shows the height and width alignment of the sensors. The boards should be designed to minimize the height and width dimensions. The second PCB will hold two Adafruit breakout boards on one side and an Arduino Nano on the other. The USB plug on the Nano should be accessible through a window on the side of the case. Case design is not part of this project. Again, the connectors should be mounted to minimize the overall profile effect of the wiring. The two boards will be mounted back-to-back in a case such that with spacers and mounting screws they become a single component. Note: The reason I am asking for this design is that I plan on adding additional electronics in the future. By having the sensors on one board and the electronics on another I can more easily change the electronics without disturbing the sensors. Second Deliverable: Modify existing code or create new code that will allow the sensor output to be monitored on an attached computer and the data stream logged in a text file. The Arduino Nano will be connected to a laptop computer via USB cable. I will need to be able to start and stop data monitoring and logging as needed as well as set the intervals at which the sensor output is delivered to the monitor and log. The log also needs to contain a timestamp. It is likely that after some usage and testing of the device I might have some software modification requests and would like the programmer to be available for follow-up. Electronics Schematic The included schematic was originally designed without using breakout boards. The modifications needed to accommodate the breakout boards are noted on the schematic Parts List 3 Omron D6F-PH sensors - D6F-PH0505AD3 (2) - D6F-PH0025AD1 (1) - Datasheet: [login to view URL] - CAD download: [login to view URL](S(0zupvrm10z0fcrwbzy25vm0b))/[login to view URL] Breakout Boards - Adafruit 2717: TCA9548A - I2C Multiplexer (1) - Adafuit 395: TXB0108 - 8-channel Bi-directional Logic Level Converter (1) Arduino Nano (1) 4.7k Ohm resistor (6) Wire-to-Board-Connectors (as needed)

I can definitely get the two boards completed for you but will need to see the schematic noted in the post in order to assure the correct pinouts for communication with the Arduino. It doesn't come up as an attachment to view. Where I might fall short is in the programming aspect. I know how to code with Arduino and use the I2C protocol but I am not a programmer by trade so that time would not be used effectively. I also would not know how to go into detail in writing data to a text file but throughout the process if some minor programming would be required by me, I suppose it wouldn't be that difficult to learn on my own time.

Greetings, I'm an experienced embedded device programmer(PIC microcontrollers ),Arduino programmer, hardware designer, PCB designer (Eagle CAD). I understood your project at all, it uses 3 Differential pressure Sensors, a logic level converter to tie 5V Arduino nano logic level with 3V3 logic level of the sensors. Also the I2C multiplexer to expand the I2C port of the Arduino Nano. Iḿ capable to design the PCB according to the rules of the best PCB manufacturers. Thanks

Dear Sir/Madam, I am a second year Computer Systems Engineering Student at Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology-Malabe folowing the Curtin University pathway. At the moment we are on holidays therefore I have enough time to do the tasks quickly. I have studied about all the required skills at the university and have hands on experience. I have worked and studied in depth with the Texas Instruments MSP430 and Microchip PIC 16F877A. I have experience in working with Arduino and I have built a maze robot using it. I have very good experience in simulating circuits from National Instruments Multisim and Labcenter Proteus. I completely accept that I have no experience in Upwork but I am pretty sure the hands on experience I have with micro-controllers and PCB's will never regret you from hiring me. I think my knowledge is exactly what is needed for this project. Your Sincerely, L.D.R.E De Silva

I saw your design and I think it mus be slightly changed because the level adaptor doesn’t work with I2C. I can make 2 boards one with the sensors and another to connect to the arduino nano with the adafruit board or the chip direcly soldered plus one small demo program for reading

my last work in arduino was: internships carried out in the Automation, Information Technology and Telecommunications (AIT) department of the Táchira PDVSA region, carrying out the project called DEVELOPMENT OF AN ARDUINO MICROCONTROLLER CONTROL SYSTEM IN THE FUEL SUPPLIES OF THE GAS STATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SISCCOMBF PROJECT OF PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA S.A. (PDVSA). Project that was approved and will be installed in the fuel pumps to replace the current system.
