And it’s away to JLCPCB. All these revisions are costing me quite a bit in terms of cash and more importantly, time. Every time a design is sent out to them, I would only get it in about an average of 2 weeks. So, I have to check the design very carefully and be certain. This is not an easy task as even after moving and coming back exhausted, my concentration level is not what it once was. Coupled with the impatience to get things done, these are the main ingredients for costly mistakes.

What does it do?

To put it simply, I designed an adaptor for a Lipo Charger so it is convenient for the user to charge their own self-bought LiPo batteries. I don’t really have to do this but hey, that’s just me. Besides, I might need a few of these for future products or prototypes. Most of my design uses low voltage of 5volts and below.

This is version 2. Which in my stupidity, forgot to swap the tracks to the uJST1.25 socket. And so, if you use this unknowingly, it’s going to be a very bad day. Or night. Or morning.
The file was sent out on the presumption that I have checked it beforehand. It was, but I overlooked the actual file meant for JLCPCB was not updated after that final check. Yeesh.
This is version 3. The board is slightly larger 34.1mm x 15.0mm to accommodate the new Lipo charger module which is slightly bigger. The older charge board is now very expensive on the market. Blessing or not, I have wasted my resources.

Where to get what (no, not the Boards and I have not produced them, not even a link to sell them yet):
