I plan to make a breakout board for the Teensy 3.6. to make the T3.6. a fully featured environmental audio recorder with audio & environmental logging on microSD. WMXZ has written a fantastic software for that purpose. https://github.com/WMXZ-EU/microSoundRecorder
Parts on the breakout board [which could be approximately the same size as the Teensy 3.6]:
- two I2S MEMS mics ICS43434 soldered on the board [if the PCB manufacturer can solder that tiny thing for me ;-)]
- Lithium backup battery for the real time clock RTC [size 1220]
- plug for optional Vin from a battery pack [3x AA or 3x CC]
several header pins for sensors:
- four pin header for Bosch BME280 [temperature, humidity, pressure] (3V3, GND, SCL, SDA)
- four pin header for light sensor BH1750 [light intensity in lux] (3V3, GND, SCL, SDA)
- four pin header for GPS module Neo6M [altitude, latitude, longitude, time] (3V3, GND, TX, RX)
All the sensor PCBs to plug-in are available for little money on the web, so I do not plan to solder sensors and their related circuitry directly to the breakout board, but rather buy the sensors and plug them to the board.
Unfortunately, I have never designed a PCB board by myself. So where should I get started? There are several break out boards out there, so maybe there is a board I could use to have the Teensy board basis available and build up on that?
It would be nice, if you could point me to something where and with which I could start with!
All the best,
