RTB_D12

Real-time Bus (RTB) Kicad_Libs Apache License 2.0

My Homebrew D12 decoder is a drop in replacement for the original analog FLM (#7230) PCB. The decoder is designed to integrate into the RTB digital control infrastructure.

Hardware

The current PCB layout uses SMD footprints with 0.5mm pitch and mainly 0603 parts. Reflow soldering is recommended whereas handsoldering will be difficult.

PCB

  • 4-layer PCB, FR4, 0.8mm
  • CPU: AVR64DA32
  • Motor bridge: DRV8231
  • Inrush limiter: R/D combination
