There is nothing much I can do as most of the components won’t be arriving until February. So, I tested my v3.0 board with whatever components I have for the time being. Right off the bat, I realised that I missed one crucial power rail and so, after some re-wiring, it worked. This also means […]

20221220 The PCBs has arrived
In just 12 days, my PCB has arrived, thanks to JLCPCB. It has been quite a worry as after finalising and submitting the design, I realised that there is an issue. My design would never be able to recreate that uniform light of the engines unless I use a COB LED. There is a solution […]
