Transmitter Board parts and their functions
9 top-level parts · 99 parts in total · full bill of materials below| # | Part | Qty | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bare PCB | 1× | Unpopulated printed circuit board: copper traces etched on an FR-4 glass-epoxy laminate that carry current between the components later soldered to it. |
| 2 | Microcontroller | 1× | Reads sensors, frames telemetry |
| 3 | GPS Module | 1× | Position and derived wind |
| 4 | Pressure Sensor | 1× | Air-pressure sounding |
| 5 | Barometer | 1× | Redundant pressure reference |
| 6 | RF Transmitter Module | 1× | 403 MHz transmitter IC |
| 7 | Temperature Thermistor | 1× | On-board reference junction |
| 8 | SMD Passive (R/C/L) | 90× | Surface-mount resistors, capacitors, and inductors, typically in 0402 to 1206 packages, that set voltages, filter noise, and time signals on a circuit board. |
| 9 | Connector | 2× | Sensor and battery headers |
