An adjustable current load 100µA to 10A. Named Larry Load for its originator, it is designed to fit in a 1590XX enclosure. See documentation at github/JRG-Analog/Larry_Load_2025

v1.2 is untested. This version adds 32X support to the existing cartridges.

Order in standard 1.6mm thickness. When you receive the board, I highly suggest sanding the cart edges to chamfer the cartridge yourself before inserting into a console. Failure to do so may shorten the lifetime and effectiveness of your console’s connector because the pins will be more stressed during insertion.

Please review information at the GitHub before ordering.

Mechanical model of HVPS board - NOT FOR FLIGHT

Xecuter 3.1

This is a small circuit to generate fake disk-seeking noises for Apple II disk emulators using a mechanical relay. It connects transparently between the Apple II and any disk emulator to detect disk activity and make noises.

Connect a Mitutoyo caliper/micrometer to an Arduino

See this project for a universal, surface mount version.

Note: I recommend ordering this PCB with the 2oz copper, 0.8mm option.

This circuit provides a means to cycle the power on a Galaxy’s Edge droid (especially BB-units) to wake them up after they go to sleep (from 5 minutes of inactivity) by briefly tilting the droid upside down.

This PCB is designed specifically for BB units to fit over a nub on the outside of the plastic housing of the BB’s motor, specifically the motor to the right of the logic PCB. This pcb would be placed with the component silk screen facing in towards the logic PCB and the droid silkscreen side facing away.

This design uses only through-hole components to make soldering a little easier.

The power transistor should be a logic-level N-channel MOSFET in a TO-220 package. Something like an IRLZ44N will work, but there are many options out there.

When soldered to the board, the MOSFET should stick out horizontally, do not bend it to face as it will not fit when the BB unit is closed.

The tilt switch should be bent away from the PCB, but parallel with the PCB, such that when the BB is upright it is making a connection.

The connectors used are JST-PH 2.0mm pitch connectors. I suggest a female socket for the BATT connector and a cable with a male connector for the DROID connector. This will allow you to plug the battery connector into the PCB and then connect the PCB to the battery connector on the logic PCB.
