20230423 Razor Crest Engine Test

OK, the recovery was faster than I expected. In a nutshell, what I did was, I used the later version of the Software, re-built the program and added some subtle effects. All these effects did take a toll on the chip’s memory and so, I had to make some compromises (OK, delete stuff). But finally, […]

20230422 Houston, we’ve had a problem…

One thing about programming is that… I don’t actually know what I am doing. But I’ve been having a go at it (OK, once in a while) since the turn of the Century and the results are more or less what I wanted. At first, it was just blinking LEDs and different sequences which was […]

The re-designed board for the AMT/ Revell model is going to be big. About three times the size of the original kind of big. If it was up to me, the size would not have changed much compared to the original. However, if I were to give this board to someone who does not know […]

20230407 The PCB Redesign

I am starting to think that lighting the cargo bay of the Revell’s Razor Crest is a bad idea. This means I had halt production to re-do the programming of the chip, redesign the circuit board and get more components to prototype the changes. There is a very high chance that I am going to […]

20230402 The Re-Design

I need to re-design the board again. This is because after drawing out the all the necessary lighting for the model, collectively, it seemed that there were more LEDs than I have anticipated. The current design was meant for the AMT which does not have a Cargo Bay. After going through the Revell copy, I […]
