Abstract

The original version of the CANSAT kit required many soldering operation. It's intimidating for newcomers with little experience with a soldering iron.

With the CANSAT V2 kit, things have been made easier than ever, no solder required!

Assembling the Cansat

Let's prepare the main CANSAT board.

ENG-CANSAT-V2-CONTENT-10.jpg

ENG-CANSAT-V2-ASSEMBLY-10.jpg Take the base board and orient the board to see the USB label on the left and the "Pico/MCU facing this side" in front of you.
ENG-CANSAT-V2-ASSEMBLY-11.jpg Grab the CPU board with the microcontroler facing front.
ENG-CANSAT-V2-ASSEMBLY-12.jpg Now, insert the MCU board onto the 2x20 pin connector.
ENG-CANSAT-V2-CONTENT-10.jpg Even when not required yet, user can pick the Lipo battery then plug it into the 2 poles JST connector (facing the microcontroler).
As soon as the battery is connected it will start to discharge in the board. The discharge can be compensated:
  • either by plug in power on the USB connector.
  • either by shorting the pads of "PWR Enable" connector (MCU sill also shutdown).
ENG-CANSAT-V2-ASSEMBLY-14.jpg Antenna must be connected before any communication attempt!

To do so, connect the µFl coaxial wire on the board then connect the demo antenna to the other side.

Long range communication will requires dedicated antenna tuned for their final usage. HAM Club is the right place to get started.


Assembling the base station

The base station also gets improvements. No more soldering this side too.

Within the CANSAT-KIT the Rapsberry-Pico is ready to use and can be plugged onto an PICO Radio board.

ENG-CANSAT-V2-ASSEMBLY-21.jpg Grab the RFM69-Boot expansion for Pico.

When included within the CANSAT-KIT:

  • the expansion board have the femalle header pre-soldered.
  • an extra antenna conector is also included and pre-soldered.

When included within the CANSAT-KIT, the header is pre-soldered on it.

ENG-CANSAT-V2-ASSEMBLY-23.jpg Plug them together.

Notice that USB connector goes over the opening of the Pico-RFM69-BOOT.

It is now time to connect the 433 Mhz test antenna included in the Kit.

Long range communication will requires dedicated antenna tuned for their final usage.
HAM Club is the right place to get started.
