1
Procurement & Preparation
- Procure and inventory all core electronic components: Nordic nRF52840 development board, Analog Devices MAX30101EFD+ optical sensor, Texas Instruments TMP117AIDRVR temperature sensor, Bosch Sensortec BMI270 IMU, and Nordic nPM1300 power management IC.
- Prepare the printed circuit board (PCB) stencil, lead-free SAC305 solder paste, and clean the work surface with isopropyl alcohol.
2
Hardware Assembly & Wiring
- Apply lead-free solder paste to the PCB pads using the stainless steel stencil and alignment jig.
- Place the Nordic nRF52840 MCU, MAX30101 optical sensor, TMP117 temperature sensor, BMI270 IMU, and nPM1300 PMIC onto their respective designated SMT pads.
- Execute reflow soldering profile adhering to SAC305 thermal specifications (peak temperature 245 degrees Celsius).
- Establish power and I2C signal interconnects: wire VCC_3V3, VCC_1V8, GND, SDA, SCL, and INT lines between the nRF52840 MCU, MAX30101, TMP117, BMI270, and nPM1300 power management system.
3
Firmware Setup
- Install Nordic nRF Connect SDK, SEGGER Embedded Studio, and configure the toolchain for the nRF52840 core processing unit.
- Compile and flash the firmware image incorporating drivers for the MAX30101 PPG sensor, TMP117 temperature sensor, BMI270 IMU, and nPM1300 power management IC.
4
Testing & Calibration
- Verify quiescent current consumption and battery charging functionality via the nPM1300 to ensure 3-7 day operational battery life.
- Calibrate the TMP117 body temperature sensor against a certified reference thermometer and test optical heart rate response on the MAX30101.
- Perform Bluetooth 5.2 wireless connection range and packet integrity tests, alongside BMI270 motion tracking and gesture wake-up verification.
