I realised that the intended spring connectors have a very serious weakness, I opted to go with a more no nonsense ‘traditional’ screw terminals. Which is great except that it takes up much more space than the former terminals. I have spent the whole day trying […]

20240804 1/6th Proton Pack: Revision v004D
While waiting for the arrival of the PDK2019 Ghost Charger Board and some LiPo batteries, I re-started the Proton Pack project less I forget what I did the last time. With the microcontroller and most of the components plus LEDs soldered, it is time for me to move on to the software stage. Listen… you […]

The reasoning was due to the red and green LEDs whose forward voltages were 1.8volts and 2.2volts respectively. But after some time, when the voltage nears […]
