12-16 hoursAdvanced
1
Procurement & Preparation
- Verify and sort all electronic components against the BOM: ESP32-S3-MINI-1-N8, MCP73871-2CCI/ML (PMIC), MS5837-02BA06 depth sensor, SEK-SHT40-AD1B-SENSORS (SHT41 temperature sensor), and LSM6DSV32X IMU.
- Inspect the custom ultra-compact PCB for manufacturing defects, short circuits, or broken traces using a digital microscope.
2
Hardware Assembly & Wiring
- Apply lead-free SMT solder paste to the PCB pads for the ESP32-S3-MINI-1-N8 module, MCP73871 PMIC, and passive decoupling capacitors.
- Place the ESP32-S3-MINI-1-N8, MCP73871 PMIC, and LSM6DSV32X IMU onto their respective paste pads using antistatic tweezers.
- Reflow the populated SMT board in a reflow oven following a standard lead-free thermal profile, then let it cool to room temperature.
- Manually hand-solder the TE Connectivity MS5837-02BA06 depth sensor and Sensirion SHT41 temperature sensor, ensuring pressure ports and vents remain completely unobstructed by solder or flux.
- Connect the rechargeable LiPo battery and USB-OTG interface to the power management system, verifying 3.3V and GND power rails across the MCU and all sensors (Pressure, Temperature, IMU) using a multimeter.
3
Firmware Setup
- Install ESP-IDF development framework and configure the project workspace for the ESP32-S3-MINI-1 processor.
- Write and integrate I2C communication drivers for the MS5837 pressure sensor, SHT41 temperature sensor, and LSM6DSV32X IMU on the shared SDA/SCL bus.
- Implement deep-sleep power cycling logic in firmware to optimize battery longevity for the target one-week lobster tracking duration.
- Flash the compiled binary to the ESP32-S3-MINI-1-N8 via the USB-OTG interface and verify serial monitor output.
4
Testing & Calibration
- Perform a bench test verification of all sensor telemetry (depth, temperature, 3-axis motion) streaming over BLE/Wi-Fi and logging correctly.
- Conduct a hydrostatic pressure tank test on the assembled tag PCB to validate MS5837 depth tracking accuracy up to expected underwater operating pressures (simulating up to 30 bar).
- Perform a 7-day power profile endurance test on the workbench, measuring active and sleep current draws to ensure the LiPo battery system meets the thesis project duration requirement.
