I am deeply passionate about miniature designs and have a strong track record of creating innovative, compact devices. Recently, we designed the ButtonBoard, the world's smallest IoT sensor plus it also provide 6 I/Os for more integration , measuring under 3 cm—about the size of a coin. Alongside a friend in the USA, I co-launched ButonBoard and other compact sensor and camera-supported boards through ButtonBoard LLC. That we launched on kikstater. Click herere view.

It was the smallest coin-shaped Sensor Board packed with input/output and numerous sensors, including (BME680) humidity, air pressure, temperature, volatile organic compounds (VOC), magnetic compass, and accelerometer. It used LUX, other sensor like proximity sensor (MAX30100 pulse sensor) can also be added using I/os provided and all integrated incidents on a coin-sized 3Cm board that is ideal for wearable design.
Following up later this year, we have planned to design two fully functional prototypes, with the other launching if we receive support in this test that will be based on an nRF chip and an ESP chip combined.
Next we have planned the camButton that is small sized coin shaped baord with 30+ IO and 10+ integrated sensor and + camera support with chat GPT as well .

The complete board PCB can be design in Autodesk Eagle software or other similar software also be used here I prefer Eagle from Autodesk
The Button sized IoT sensor dev baord uses the BME280 for Air pressure , Temperature , Altitude , Humidity data
For VOC compound and airquality another sensor from same company varient is used . BME690 it gives Air quality and VOC data s well.
For Mag and ACC and Gryo the St micro IC is used
Th sensor Board also includes a internal battery cahrger MCP 738 IC
It uses the ESP12F chip for Wifi capability and sending sensor data wirelessly and for wireless capability .
Below are the main features of the IoT sensor board from us. It is open-source for personal and non-commercial use with arttribuation license
What all things can be possible with our design
A lightweight sensor capable of sticking to plant leaf branches, providing real-time environmental data.
We have manufactured the Sensor board using high-quality PCBs and services from PCB Way. We have also created a flexible version using the PCB Way flexible printing service. Additionally, they provide Glow slick skin printing, which allows us to print text on the board that glows in the dark, creating a visually appealing effect.
Open the PCB way account
then create the quote for the PCB board and then order the board
Obtain an immediate quote for the PCB and subsequently upload the Gerber file, BOM, and Pick and Place file. The process is completed, and payment can be made.
I have used the free coupan prvided by PCB WAY
Additionally, I have placed an order for a flexible version of the FRXIButton IoT sensor board.

I thank in advance the PCB way , nRF , Autodesk Desk and Hackseter to provide us opportunity to realize our dream of designing the world’s most advanced and smallest wearable sensor board.
