Plant Whisperer V1.0

UEI DNX-DIO-630 to NS18212 AO Adapter Board

Line sensor for robotics using QRD1114 (IR LED and phototransistor)

This board is useful to couple one IDE cable to another (as an extender), or to attach a CompactFlash-to-IDE adapter with a female connection to the end of an IDE cable. There is a jumper that can be used to “force on” UDMA capability; the IDE controller will think an 80-conductor cable is attached when the jumper installed. Note that one IDE pin header has to be installed on the TOP side of the board, and the other header has to be installed on the BOTTOM side of the board.

This project is a 3U by 14HP eurorack-format modular synthesizer integrated modulation unit. It features at 12db or 24db per octave low pass or high pass Sallen-Key VCF, a full-feature envelope generator with auto-repeat, and a VCA. All stages in this unit are bypassable with CV inputs, and has a manual trigger or CV trigger on the envelope generator. All signal processing is done with an RP2040 microcontroller.

Replacement Wii U dock board, featuring a USB type C connector.

Features pads to add 5.1k resistors (new in v1.2), to allow the board to work with smart chargers. Also has connection points to allow a switch to be added, add a 0 ohm resistor if not required.

Replacement driver board for inexpensive prayer chanting boxes. More details about this at Github.

Adds a USB power supply to a breadboard.

Mount a USB-C connector (e.g. GCT’s USB4105) and two 5.1k resistors (0603 on R1 & R2) to get up to 0.5A @ 5V from a standard USB-C power supply.

This is made for a solderless breadboard style where the power pins are offset from the signal rows.

I have hand-soldered this with good success; the 0603 footprints are over-sized for this purpose.

DMX Demonstrator Frame Scrambler (DMX-FS1, Rev 1.0)

The Frame Scrambler is an Arduino Shield which provides connects between the transmitter and the receiver and can alter the data bit.

My modification of the 32L SOP EPROM adapter from JRodrigo. I added extra ground pins and shrunk the entire PCB vertically.

Original project: https://github.com/JRodrigoTech/FLASH-ROM-Adapter-for-GameBoy

I will release the modified source files in a few days.

DMX Demonstrator Receiver (DMX-RX1, Rev 1.4)

The receiver is an Arduino Shield board designed to accept the 3-wire data/clock signal from the transmitter and decode the data stream to control the brightness of 4 LEDs.

DMX Demonstrator Display-Pro (DMX-DCV, Rev 1.6)

The constant voltage display driver is breakout board which intercepts the 3-wire data/clock signal from the transmitter to amplify the data and clock signals and drive a larger display intended for a large audience.

Please order one set for Kyle DeBry at MITLL

This is a simple replacement, remove the old TR201, assemble this pcb and parts, put it in place and solder the 3 castelations and 1 through hole plated via.
