Modernization of the Apollo Guidance Computer

Pro Mini Arduino based RBG LED Strip Controller

3 DPDT relay board to replace 6PDT relay in Roland S50. Two holes in the middle are for hold-down screws. I recommend putting in sockets so you can replace the relays more easily as they will go out again the way they are being used.

Simple Breakout board for the Bluetooth BLE beacon HM-11

Barometer, magnetometer, GPS and I2C breakout board for CC3D on Cleanflight. You can also plug in an OLED display and GPS. Board size is the same as CC3D (36x36mm), and so is the hole placement (30,5mm apart). Measurements (link to wiki.Openpilot.org) Male headers are meant to be soldered as SMD, except for 3v3 I2C, which is through hole. You can also solder 90degree headers poiting up. SMD jst connectors are on the bottom side, if you dont want to use headers. Pinouts for jsts are the same as their top side counterparts. The direction is marked with “->” sign, poiting towards MAIN and FLEXI ports. Pinouts for MAIN and FLEXI are the same as on CC3D, dont switch rx and tx. If you want to connect it to a computer, you have to plug the battery to power the addon board, otherwise the virtual USB wont show up in Configurator. It works, I still use the prototype board on my big quad. !Make sure to correctly set the port settings!

Berg40 to DE9x adapter for DEC boards

This is an adapter board for DEC serial boards (DL11 series, KL8 series) that use the 40pin BERG (IDE) 2x20p cable connector for the serial port. It routes the serial signals from the flat cable connector to various pins on the DB9 (M or F) connector thru a set of 100mil jumper header blocks. Flexibility for using either a male or female DB9 connector is provided by using different jumper block positions.

J2 is a standard shrouded 40p male connector.
J1 is either a DB9 female or male connector, as desired.
P1-P4 are a set of header pins for jumpers.

I2C Keyboard Lipoly Charger

Accelerometer with Temp Sensor

Filament width sensor based on TSL1401CL linear sensor array and ATtiny85, see http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:699308

A brushed adapter for Sparky or Sparky2 with an integrated 5V adapter and 200mW 5G8 VTX. Unfortunately it uses the TX5200M module which is hard to come by.

reset switch moved to facilitate bringing out RESET TX and RX lines. Provided space for JST connector at the top right (add 2 pin JST) to serve as 3 volt input for 3v projects. Any questions or comments to [email protected]

GP2S60B reflective ir sensor

TI BQ24075 Single-Cell Lithium-Chemistry Charger

Untested/Revised; caps moved closer to ICs. Same size, same schematic.

Confirmed Fixed.
A re-work of the original design for a flashlight mod. Larger diameter and hopefully you’ll agree an improved method for making it a break-apart design (some sanding required). See above link for details and the backstory.

Tested, little or nothing to go wrong except in assembly or handling. Use a wide-jaw pliers to carefully and precisely snap off the text tabs first, then snap apart the two halves and sand the edges down as much as you require to fit your own flashlight(s). Add one or both resistors per instructions linked above, and let there be light!

A replacement FT232RL carrier board for my 2-part USB FTDI modular adapter.

Untested | will update | identical layout to the linked full-board design (taken directly from the small region), $3.90 / 3 copies
