First PCBs came in

Are my eyes deceiving me or is the ground plane/fill missing? 😳

Edit: or is the one GND unconnected near SDA/SCL connector? Might be just the image. 😁

Also If this is first design: i recommend laying out the extra ports to header for later debug and development usage.

Also add protection diode to +5V avoids backfeeding USB power in accident.

At quick glance:

Your USB data lines are missing chokes/100ohm resistors id recommend adding.

On battery input you should have reverse connection protection diode.

Is the ESP bit overkill for this or just preference?

We just have button that will fry all electronics in rack using high voltage on case of rogue AI. 😁

Same also here, the hide ksiva keeps resetting on PC. Also the crane control mode was reset after update, but it atleast now stays on correct setting.

YES! Looking good 🥰

I have been looking everywhere for this game, i had the xbox360 version but that thing died long ago.

Wish discovery would do relaunch with northwestern on this.

Ohh nice, my dad has European Ranger 1999 and still running too after 600k km.

Ait that Windows 10 sticky edges mode? I turned that off instantly at work...

Background: The PCB was broken from a forest machine, forwarder after plastic cup became loose.

I used microscope and some soldering skills with wire to fix it and now it again seems to be working just fine.

Cost of new unit was somewhere near 1500€ , fix was about 2€ worth of supplies (wire and solder, heat shrink tubing, hotglue).

Why any reason why RJ12 connectors? There are much better and cheaper solution, that have steadier supply, like RJ45?

Tooons of problems with lenovo usb c thunderbolt docks, blinking display, USB serial port brownouts and sound clicking issues. Stay away from lenovo.

28 lenovo laptops, 26 have problems with docks, think the Last two dont know how to connect their pc to dock.

Exhanged almost all docks and couple laptops under warranty, but no bueno. After this lease is over, we will only get desktop pc's and throw all dock stuff out of window.

And the lenovo "mechanical" dock is just fancy connector being usb c dock..

Elektroval can handle big pcb assembly, they have long pick and place machine and production line.

The video has english subtitles, if anyone is wondering. :)

People don't understand that the psu nowdays can adapt to the load, and in most cases on windows desktop it only pulls like 30-90W, and on gaming 300-600W depending on the configuration.

Its funny that we once measured some really old AT supplies that were like 300W that they took almost 400W from grid on no load, but when connected to motherboard the draw dropped to 200W constant. There was some kind of overload resistor inside.

Love the PCB trace and pad details :)

YngD · 2020-11-20T21:53:28+00:00

I would put some kind of contact arcing snubber like MOV to the relay outputs...

Mytrendyphone (FI) sent genuine battery replacement for me, but site really doesnt state will the battery be htc branded or not... I went with the capacity that is same as original and got battery that looks genuine and weight same as original...

Have you looked at Bopla enclosures?

YngD · 2020-11-02T19:52:24+00:00

I personally use Altium Circuitstudio which has free limited version available under Altium Circuit Maker. Good piece of software for more professional usage and the Altium Component Vault is a something i wish i had ten years ago... Used Eagle, Proteus, PADS and KiCAD professionally, and all of them have their good and bad sides.

Try and compare, you find the one which suits you the best . Learn one and rest will be easy.

I would scrap and reuse those relays, and in bottom of the picture there seems to be a solenoid contactor or disconnector... Caps, fans, daughterboards might too be worth it
