1. Question text: |
||||
|
CO sensor |
||||
|
|
||||
|
|
||||
|
2. Design summary: |
||||
|
Very well written. Low Battery detection / alert is especially well done |
||||
|
|
||||
|
3. Block diagram |
||||
|
Where is the block diagram? |
||||
|
you have given the entire electrical circuit diagram here. |
||||
|
Only some logical / hierarchical block diagram was needed here. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
4. Power supply design |
||||
|
There are two major probems with your design. |
||||
|
a. The 9V battery you have chosen is not exactly good for long life. Look at other products that need long life batteries - |
||||
|
all use some kind of non-rechargeable lithium cells. |
||||
|
b. You are using a linear regulator which has expremely poor efficiency - you're going from 9V to 5V! |
||||
|
Should have used a 6V battery and LDO. |
||||
|
Microcontroller - pick one with low power consumption and/or sleep modes like the MSP430 or AtTiny. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
5. Industrial Design: |
||||
|
Summary is fine - should have included sketches of the final unit. Where should the LED be? Where are the mountings for |
||||
|
buzzer / speaker? |
||||
|
|
||||
|
6. KICAD Design |
||||
|
Schematic: |
||||
|
No major issues seen |
||||
|
|
||||
|
PCB: |
||||
|
Layout could be a little better - you have many traces intersecting / overlapping. |
||||
|
Especially look at the sensor heater supply - those traces could be thicker. |
||||
|
What is the current needed there? |
||||
|
|
||||
|
7. Pricing / BOM / Assembly |
||||
|
Some BOM optimisation could have been done - mostly all ok |
||||
|
Price for 2 prototypes not mentiones? |
