Microcontroller with sensor board

This is my first design, shield kit for Arduino MEGA2560 board. The shield kit provides BME280 sensor interface, 20x4 LCD display, 4x4 matrix keypad, DS1307 RTC, RS232 port and buzzer. We can use it for displaying barometric pressure, humidity, temperature. Keypad is available for parameter settings. An optional buzzer can be used for alarm.

BME280-MEGA2560 kit

The shield kit features:

Platform	MEGA2650	(20180217)V1	Interface
Sensors	Barometric (BME280)		I2C
	Humidity (BME280)		I2C
	Temperature (BME280)		I2C
RTC	DS1307 Real time clock		I2C
Display	20x4 LCD display module		6-bit DIO
RS232 port	9600 UART		Hardware UART TX1,RX1
Buzzer	small buzzer		DIO pin 7
Keypad	4x4 matrix keypad		8-bit DIO

The controller platform is MEGA2560 board with CH340 USB chip.

Hardware descriptions: BME280 sensor module is interfaced to the MEGA2560 chip using I2C port J3, SDA and SCL pins. LCD display connector, JR1 is 4-bit interfacing with digital pins, D4, D5, D6, D7 (5,4,3,2) and RS (12), E(11). R4 is for contrast adjustment. R2 is current limit for black light. Keypad is 4x4 matrix membrane switch. It uses PORTC, 8-bit. U1 is RS232 converter. The hardware UART U1, converts TXD1, RXD1 TTL to RS232 level at VB1. RTC chip, DS1307 is also interfaced using I2C. BT1 is for +3V Lithium coin battery. J11 is optional I2C device.
