Revision 6.1:

Pyxida 6.1 is a minor revision to Pyxida 6 made in September 2019. It implemented the following changes relative to Pyxida 6:

  • Fixed minor Buzzer footprint issues
  • Corrected an inductor value error in the CC1200 PA output (L601)
  • Replaced BMP280 with MS5607 (7-bit Address 0x76)
  • Replaced CC1200 XTAL with TCXO
  • Changed through hole SMA to edge launch
  • Connected bottom layer of RF section to GND, added via stitching
  • Replaced power traces with planes in the 3rd inner layer

Bugs: Footprint of TCXO incorrect, required re-routing of 2 traces.

Suggested Edits:

  • Fix TCXO footprint
  • Add vias under MCP23008 (Pyro I/O expander) and MPU9250 to wick extra solder from the ground pad
    • Had issues with these parts not soldering correctly and getting lifted up due to excess solder on the central pad
  • Label test points on the bottom of the board

Firmware

Pyxida runs firmware written in Arduino-dialect C++. It follows a state machine architecture, with software objects that represent physical hardware. States are represented as objects that subclass a base state and provide functions for state entry, exit conditions and destinations, and system behavior while in the state. States can access hardware such as pyro channels and the board's radio through the previously-mentioned hardware objects and use these objects for input and output.
