Project Title: KiCad Schematic & PCB Design for Wrist-Worn NIR Sensor (1300 nm LED, Interstitial Fluid)
Description: We’re developing a wrist-worn sensor using NIR spectroscopy (1300 nm LED) to measure blood alcohol concentration (BAC, 0–0.2%) via interstitial fluid for research/clinical use. We need a KiCad designer to create a schematic and 2-layer PCB (20 x 20 mm) for a 30 x 30 x 10 mm wristband. The design includes a 1300 nm LED, InGaAs photodiode, ESP32, sensors (temperature, humidity, accelerometer), amplifiers, and power management, using interstitial fluid detection (no vapor chamber). Deliverables: KiCad files, Gerber files for JLCPCB, BOM CSV, STEP file, PNG mock-ups. Budget: $200–$400 USD, timeline: 10–14 days (start June 10, 2025).
Skills: KiCad (v7.0+), PCB design, embedded systems, analog circuits, wearables
Budget: $200–$400 USD
Timeline: June 10–24, 2025
Posted: June 5, 2025
Scope:
• Schematic:
• Create KiCad schematic (Eeschema) for BOM components.
• Connect NIR path (LED → photodiode → amplifiers → ESP32), I2C sensors, power.
• Label nets (“5V”, “GND”, “LED_CONTROL”, etc.), pass ERC.
• PCB:
• Design 2-layer, 20 x 20 mm PCB (FR4, 1.6 mm).
• LED/photodiode 5.5 mm apart (bottom, skin-facing).
• 50-ohm impedance for LED/photodiode, 0.2 mm clearance, 0.3 mm signal traces, 0.5 mm power traces.
• Pass DRC.
• Deliverables:
• KiCad project (NIR_Alcohol_Sensor.kicad_pro, .sch, .kicad_pcb).
• Schematic PDF (NIR_Alcohol_Sensor_schematic.pdf).
