Adding a 868 MHz CC1101 radio to an existing board

The client already had a two-board KiCad project. I added a CC1101 868 MHz radio module, and kept all the original board connections.

The problem

The client had an existing two-board design in KiCad, connected through pin headers, and needed wireless communication added to it, without breaking the connection between the two boards.

What I did

  • Integrated a CC1101 868 MHz radio module with its antenna connectors.
  • Updated the schematic and the PCB layout, with the circuit changes this required.
  • Kept the original connections between the two boards.

The result

A complete PCB design with wireless communication added to the existing hardware. The client rated the project 5.0 on Upwork.
