Happy New Year! I have located the 3mm White LED and soldered onto another prototype PCB. This time, I have not modified the 3mm spacer but just used it as it is. Instead of the 10mm height I envisioned, my calipers said the height should be around the 9mm mark. This means, with the spacer, […]

20251231 Spinner: Front Mandible PCB ver 03 LED Spacer
Are you high? A typical height of a 5mm LED is 8.7mm (1mm collar and 7.7mm resin lens). Add that to the 3mm spacer, we’re looking at a 11.7mm height. But as shown above where the 0mm height LED position looked more accurate, lets have a brief calculation about the 3mm LED. Its typical height […]
20251208 Spinner: Front Mandible PCB ver 03 Testing
JLCPCB & being (almost) Perfect I always liked to use JLCPCB which apart from their manufacturing speed, their Call Centres are very responsive when it came to troubleshooting my designs. However, I also wished that they could help modify my PCB and/ or 3D files too but sadly, that is not possible. I mean, if […]
20251102 Spinner: There’s Something Wrong with the Circuit
So, with the revolving LED done, and now I only have to test-fit the front mandibles by searching for the Spinner’s parts hidden in the stash somewhere, I am ready to finalise the Main Board. This is going to be so good that I can foresee the Project move on to Production stage by 2026! […]
20251030 Spinner: Top Revolving Light New PCB Design pt.4
The final design for the revolving light located at the top of the Spinner arrived today. I made a mistake of using 5 LEDs which in fact, was supposed to be 6 LEDs. The software was done quite long ago, which according to my YouTube video, was finalised sometime on 5th August, 2019. Yeah, that […]
