  1. TCSP #5 - Preliminary PCB Layout Pop’emDrop’em Robots Duncan Swartz

  2. Abstract Electronic version of “Rock’em Sock’em Robots” Two players control movements of one of two punching robots via a Microsoft Kinect Player punches and dodges translated into robot movements Hits recorded through depletion of a health bar Selectable battle music with light effects, potential single-player mode vs. computer

  3. Prelim. PCB Overview 6” x 6” board Analog Digital DC-DC (5V) DC-DC (3.3V)

  4. PCB subset: Digital • Atmel AT32UC3C2128C – 5V • LED drivers – 5V • Header to Raspberry PI – externally powered • Shift register and • headers to 2 LCD’s – 5V • Level translators – 5V

  5. PCB subset: Analog • Stepper motor controllers and headers to motors – 5V • NPN power transistors, optical isolators, and headers to solenoids – 12V (from power supply)

  6. Thoughts while designing • Keeping decoupling capacitors as close to IC pins as possible: Before: After:

  7. Thoughts while designing • Leave space around border of PCB to run power lines, route inwards as needed, helps with EMI

  8. Thoughts while designing • When making copper fills, keep separate grounds for analog, digital, and dc-dc conversion components • Join up these separate grounds at a single “star-shape point”.
