20220710 The MkVII Front Array

THE 555/4017 WAY OR THE MICROCONTROLLER WAY? To be honest, I have actually forgotten about this PCB. It was uploaded on the 7th and by the third day, I was notified that the board is on its way to me. Well, this is going to be something. This board is a decades long ON and […]

20220710 The Height of the Relay

With the 3D part in my hand, one of my questions has been answered. The height of the relay is just a smidgen shorter than the uppermost ledge which is about roughly 5mm. These ledges are responsible for the Lower Interface panel not dropping into the whole cavity. The 5mm height limit is quite a […]

Remember in my last few post, I asked, ‘What can go wrong?‘ and then I approved the design with JLCPCB? Yeah, I found a much better circuit solution. I AM SO SMART, DUH I always use the ULN2003 Chips or its variaton to drive the LEDs. It is basically a driver for higher current components, […]
