Electronic

Because of the few space available arround the display, the FCU electronic card has been splited into two boards :

  • Motherboard : Manage all stuff except display
  • Display : support digits, leds and Pad leds for symbols and texts

Status

  • PCB design [95%] : draft v2
  • Arduino program [80%] : draft
  • Common libraries and Arduino-Jeehell bridge [50%] : draft
  • Buy parts [50%] : partial, to test and validate PCB design
  • Prototype build [20%] : -
  • Tests [10%] : -
  • Mechanical design [5%] : -
  • Final build and assembly [0%] : -
