CEB Press/Manufacturing Instructions/Detroit Fab Lab Solenoid Driver v4

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

TODO

• refined bill of materials. Materials have slightly changed from previous board.

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)
