4 Schematic, PCB Layout, and Bill of Materials

This EVM consists of 3 boards as shown in Figure 4-1. The flex coupon board is a flex PCB with OPT4001 IC and cutout for optimal sensor field of view. This flex board is soldered onto a rigid coupon board for added stability. The rigid coupon board contains 8 pins which allow it to plug into a socket on the motherboard. The motherboard contains an MSP430 microcontroller and plugs into a PC through the provided USB cable. This section contains the schematics, layout, and bill of materials for these 3 boards.
