Electronics

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W(H)

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 WH

  • W version comes without pre-solder header
  • WH version with -> makes it easier as no soldering is requires

microSD Card

Rpi recommands at least 16GB, recommends 32GB, probably both to much -> check what really is needed as minumum

XL4015 DC-DC Buck Converter Module

stepdown 12V to 5V for powering Pi

USB-C Pigtail

powering the raspberry, powering over pins bypasses the fuse, while not stricly necessary it's recommended

D4148 MOSFET Module

XY-MOS

  • switching valve and pump on/off
  • often sold ander name "XY MOS"

1N4007 Diode

  • used as flyback diode for protecting the MOSFETs
  • not 100% sure if right one as no datasheet for pump motor available, seems to work though

BMP280 Atmosphere Pressure Sensor Module

BMP280

  • absolute pressure sensor, vacuum value needs to be calculatet using current athmospheric pressue
  • could be automated using a 2nd sensor outside of vacuum
  • used because cheap and available as module
  • diffrential sensors more expensive and not available as module

12V Vacuum Pump (VN-T1)

Pump

not 100% airthight, therefore one-way-valve in tubing path to not loose vacuum

12V Normally Closed Solenoid Valve

Valve

12V Power Supply

  • with barrel plug
  • I'm using a 12V/4A max. (48W) power brick I had lying around
  • tbd: minumim wattage

Panel-Mount Socket for Barrel Plugs

  • matching the plug on power brick
  • tbd: hole diamter
