Voltera USB Templates by Voltera

We offer several types of substrate and templates. Incorporating their dimensions and features into your design will improve your V-One experience. We have developed a set of Design Blocks for EAGLE that contains parts for all of the templates and substrates in our store. Using it is easy, just drop in the template as you would any other part and away you go. Do any electronics these days not have USB? This pack of 6 templates (~2"x3") gets you started with all the circuitry you need to connect your USB driver, and it has the mounting holes for Type B and Micro B ports! If you need a male connector, the bottom of the board is already plated so you can plug directly into your computer!

SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier - HX711 by SparkFun Electronics

Autodesk EAGLE Design Block Description: The SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier is a small breakout board for the HX711 IC that allows you to easily read load cells to measure weight. By connecting the amplifier to your microcontroller you will be able to read the changes in the resistance of the load cell, and with some calibration, you’ll be able to get very accurate weight measurements. This can be handy for creating your own industrial scale, process control or simple presence detection. This version of the SparkFun Load Cell Amplifier features a few changes that you specifically asked for! We have separated the analog and digital supply, as well as added a 3.3uH inductor and a 0.1uF filter capacitor for digital supply. The HX711 uses a two-wire interface (Clock and Data) for communication. Any microcontroller’s GPIO pins should work, and numerous libraries have been written, making it easy to read data from the HX711. Load cells use a four-wire Wheatstone bridge configuration to connect to the HX711. These are commonly colored RED, BLK, WHT, GRN and YLW. Each color corresponds to the conventional color coding of load cells: Red (Excitation+ or VCC) Black (Excitation- or GND) White (Amplifier+, Signal+ or Output+) Green (A-, S- or O-) Yellow (Shield) The YLW pin acts as an optional input that is not hooked up to the strain gauge but is utilized to ground and shield against outside EMI (electromagnetic interference). Please keep in mind that some load cells might have slight variations in color coding. Features: Operation Voltage: 2.7V–5V Operation Current: < 1.5mA Selectable 10SPS or 80SPS output data rate Simultaneous 50 and 60Hz supply rejection

SparkFun ESP32 Thing by SparkFun Electronics

Autodesk EAGLE Design Block Description: The SparkFun ESP32 Thing is a comprehensive development platform for Espressif’s ESP32, their super-charged version of the popular ESP8266. Like the 8266, the ESP32 is a WiFi-compatible microcontroller, but to that, it adds support for Bluetooth low-energy (i.e BLE, BT4.0, Bluetooth Smart), and nearly 30 I/O pins. The ESP32’s power and versatility will make it the foundation of IoT and connected projects for many years to come. Why the name? We lovingly call it the “Thing” because it’s the perfect foundation for your Internet of Things project. The Thing does everything from turning on an LED to posting data with phant.io and can be programmed just like any microcontroller. You can even program the Thing through the Arduino IDE by installing the ESP32 Arduino Core. The SparkFun ESP32 Thing equips the ESP32 with everything necessary to program, run and develop on the wonderchip. In addition to the WiFi/BLE SoC, the Thing includes an FTDI FT231x, which converts USB to serial, and allows your computer to program and communicate with the microcontroller. It also features a LiPo charger, so your ESP32 project can be battery-powered and truly wireless. Additionally, the board includes a handful of LEDs and buttons to aid in your development. Features: Dual-core Tensilica LX6 microprocessor Up to 240MHz clock frequency 520kB internal SRAM Integrated 802.11 BGN WiFi transceiver Integrated dual-mode Bluetooth (classic and BLE) 2.2 to 3.6V operating range 2.5 µA deep sleep current 28 GPIO 10-electrode capacitive touch support Hardware accelerated encryption (AES, SHA2, ECC, RSA-4096) 4MB Flash memory Integrated LiPo Battery Charger

SparkFun EasyDriver - Stepper Motor Driver by SparkFun Electronics

Autodesk EAGLE Design Block Description: The EasyDriver is a simple to use stepper motor driver, compatible with anything that can output a digital 0 to 5V pulse (or 0 to 3.3V pulse if you solder SJ2 closed on the EasyDriver). The EasyDriver requires a 6V to 30V supply to power the motor and can power any voltage of stepper motor. The EasyDriver has an on board voltage regulator for the digital interface that can be set to 5V or 3.3V. Connect a 4-wire stepper motor and a microcontroller and you’ve got precision motor control! EasyDriver drives bi-polar motors, and motors wired as bi-polar. I.e. 4,6, or 8 wire stepper motors. This EasyDriver V4.5 has been co-designed with Brian Schmalz. It provides much more flexibility and control over your stepper motor, when compared to older versions. The microstep select (MS1 and MS2) pins of the A3967 are broken out allowing adjustments to the microstepping resolution. The sleep and enable pins are also broken out for further control. Features: A3967 Microstepping Driver MS1 and MS2 pins broken out to change microstepping resolution to full, half, quarter and eighth steps (defaults to eighth) Compatible with 4, 6, and 8 wire stepper motors of any voltage Adjustable current control from 150mA/phase to 700mA/phase Power supply range from 6V to 30V. The higher the voltage, the higher the torque at high speeds
