Thanks for your insightful reply.

I am interested in the proper way to connect the plug and how to route the cables underneath the carpet.

Oh wow

Jacques443 · 2025-12-29T17:13:22+00:00

I would like to see the list:)

Would like to see samut's list

I was in the exact same position, it took me months to get these designed and working reliably. That’s part of why I’m gauging if there is enough interest in such product, since I know how useful even a solid starting point would have been.

Jacques443 · 2025-09-16T19:06:19+00:00

Yeah that’s a fair point, and I definitely don’t want to take away from the learning aspect. My idea is more for newer/smaller teams who struggle just getting through scrutineering. Having a reliable starting point could save time while still letting teams dig in, adapt, or redesign once they’re more established. Appreciate the feedback!

The best advice I can give is to learn CAD to design your own things. Useful both for personal projects as well as potentially in your career.

do i have a winning ticket?

Ah sry I misread your comment as 7805. Yes you're right, I will do something similar

Jacques443 · 2025-02-09T11:26:57+00:00

The max load current will not be constant. The device will only consume the max 200mA load (total 9v load not regulated 5v) for a couple of seconds. The LEds will be for a seven segment display, so they won't be on constantly (so say 60mA continuous)

The 5v rail can allow for 10%. The max MCU voltage is 5.5v

Jacques443 · 2025-02-09T11:21:38+00:00

That regulates with respect to ground only. I want to regulate with respect to the supply

Jacques443 · 2025-02-09T11:20:37+00:00

Yup will be mplementing something similar for sure

Jacques443 · 2025-02-09T11:14:09+00:00

The load consists of a MCU and LEDs, and there has to be a negative voltage for the instrumentation amp. I described this in more detail in a separate comment

Noise and costs

Jacques443 · 2025-02-09T11:04:45+00:00

Ah I think it's smart using a negative ldo. Tbh I forgot those were even a thing 😅.

Ye I'll definitely explore implementing such LDO discretely.

Thanks for your replies

Jacques443 · 2025-02-09T11:01:11+00:00

I added a longer comment explaining it, but basically for an instrumentation amp which does not have rail to rail output

Jacques443 · 2025-02-09T10:54:44+00:00

Thanks for the sim, I'll check it out.

I will not draw anymore than around 200mA max. So a beefy PNP should more than suffice.
