It’s getting there but I am not sure if my method worked until this design becomes a reality. I mean, there are so many ‘good lucks’ when I was doing it and, well, this is too good to be true. But today, which was the very next day, my Luck changed.
For the very first time, the ‘Special’ LEDs I ordered got cancelled by their eCommerce Platform. The Seller could not respond in time due to Health issues and so, they started to refund my order. (ie No Sale. U get money back). Eventually, we communicated and they were able to accept my new order, right away.
REALLY, MR. RELAY?
The other pressing or rather, a more important issue were the relays which I got some time ago. Although they were rated at 5volts, it will still work if the voltage was at 4 volts (ie. 80%) and no lower.
Crap.
I have a few workaround on this but ultimately, it boils down to whether I want to spend more development money getting the other relays or, spend even more money on revamping the circuit to run on 5volts. I am going to work on the former and hope it is more cost effective. The main reason is that Nicholas confirmed with me that his TR-595E runs off a single 3.7v LiPo battery with no boost circuits or modules
I am still not out of the woods yet because these ‘Smallest Relay in the World’ is still possibly too tall for the Flap.
I DID WHAT?
Update 01.072022: I ordered the 3volt version of the same relay…
Sorry for the image quality but I only realised this after taking the photos of the two overlapping designs which resulted in my attempting to colour correct it.
Yeah, I need to remind myself not to take photos behind tinted glass with a mobile.
