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 […]

20250930 Spinner: Top Revolving Light New PCB Design pt.3
The SMD LEDs I ordered some time ago has arrived just today. I have finished quite a lot of them and well, its either that or I’ve kept them somewhere else and forgot all about it. 20251020 Update Instead of creating a new post, I am going to put it here. 20 days later, the […]
20251018 Blade Runner offerings from Bellfine
I was pleasantly surprised this morning when images of the Blade Runner model kits showed up on my SocMed feed. They are from the company Bellfine with the molds developed by Woodbell Co., Ltd.. The following images are courtesy of HOBBY SHOP Dejitamin. I have already developed the Lighting System for the Blaster (but it […]
20250923 Spinner: Top Revolving Light New PCB Design pt.2
The re-design of the PCB arrived from JLCPCB in just 11 days. In summary, this circuit board is to connect 5x 0805 type SMD LEDs to simulate the revolving siren light at the top of the Spinner. Originally, it was a 2 PCB concept where the LEDs were sandwiched between the two boards. However, during […]

Understandably, JLCPCB confirmed this when I uploaded the design. So, most of the day was spent on trying to figure […]
