Source File Repository:
All source files are located in this repository: schematics, board layout, netlist, arduino source code, etc.
https://github.com/dwiel/ose-cebpress-controller-board
Goals:
- Add Left/Right/Up/Down buttons on board
- Add Left/Right/Up/Down terminal positions for external control
- Add Left/Right/Up/Down to source code
- Build schematic and board layout in with KiCAD
Design Rational:
- Buttons and terminals must all be easy to access
- Circuit board must be easy to etch by hand
- Populating and soldering parts of the circuit board should be easy
- Using more through hole components this time for this reason
- Circuit board should be small so that they are cheaper and faster to etch/mill
Notes:
- Does anyone know how much current the solenoids require? We probably don't need such beefy MOSFETs ... (the original MOSFET is rated to 50V,16A)
