Revision as of 00:31, 16 April 2020

This site provides a list of all the future improvements we would like to make for our BoSL baord. Let's separate this into immediate and future plans

Immediate Plans for our Next BoSL Board v0.4

1. Real Time Clock module
2. GPS antenna
3a. Battery connection moved to ensure that the plug sits over components and not hanging outside the board
3b. Ethernet connection moved to also ensure that the plug sits over the components instead of hanging outside the board (e.g. we could just turn it around by 180degrees)
4. Pin 2 & Pin 3: we will free these 2 pins for attachinterrupt by changing the current softwareserial to other available digital pins
5. Atmega chip - change to the smaller one which we used for sensors
6. Smaller screw terminals - still black in colour, but smaller footprint.
