well ive always liked using toppbuzz's led flasher code but i thought to myself maybe i can do for a cleaner install

on hold until further notice

This Is Something I Might Be Interested In For My Class. You Think You Can Whip Up A Board For Soic As Well. My Class Is Learning How To Solder Smd Components.

Nice work and this makes it easy for the lazy person who doesnt want to put any effort in to soldering..... lol

Hehehe that's me

still have to program the chip...lol and solder to the board and the leds.

I got bored so I designed my own

(Keep in mind I only spent like 10 minutes on this, so it aint that great, and something minght not be wrong). What do yall think?

And 3DO, is this pad necessary?

no its not

happy? and just wondering why you would place the gnd so far apart like that?

ecstatic

But I was making everything really spaced out because I was just doing this to see if I actually remembered how to use diptrace(I had/have no intention of actually getting it printed). Here's a more compact version I just put together(its .36 square inches). Tbh it could still be smaller(You could just have 1 ground pad and wire the 4 led ground wires and the controller ground to it; and everything could still be closer together), but, meh, its not really necessary(you'd save like 5 cents printing it)

well thank you for sharing and for your input as of right now im happy with my design and i really dont care if anyone takes an interest or not
but for fellow members who do decide this is something they want ill be more then happy to help out
my mission here is to try and do my part i will release this for free to anyone who wants it i

Gizmo613 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 17, 2013, 05:09:00 AM »

im always interested in your projects 3do, especially if it benefits me on my school work.

I want a few of those!! Nice Job.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #15 on:** April 17, 2013, 05:40:08 AM »

make it smaller and post the file so I can have them printed. you only need one ground, the led negatives can go directly to any ground on the controller. so the extra pads are not needed. also change the chip type to a soic package.

3D0kassiah · « **Reply #16 on:** April 17, 2013, 06:15:39 AM »

gonna remove thread with correct files and pix

Rodent · « **Reply #17 on:** April 17, 2013, 06:16:38 AM »

Now make it smaller and more compact ....

so it will fit behind the Motherboard.

it will fit behind the motherboard that thing is small
picture the size of those resistors there the same size as xbox controller leds

smallest i could get the board which is dam small
removed gnd pads and switched from dip to soic
resistor size is now 0603 not the original 0805
comments

good concept make it so its programmable right on the board . will be easy to change from fader to flasher... lol

awesome work

Love it!

Gizmo613 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 17, 2013, 08:24:24 AM »

Just A Suggestion, You Can Run A Vias For The Bottom Left Resistor To Its Pad. Rather Than Run A Trace Along The Bottom Of The Board.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #22 on:** April 17, 2013, 08:49:35 AM »

that would add a layer adding to the printing cost.

Gizmo613 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 17, 2013, 08:53:13 AM »

i thought of the same thing matt, but i just check the price at osh park. it cost the same $1.35 per set of 3.

3D0kassiah · « **Reply #24 on:** April 17, 2013, 08:54:15 AM »

dont think oshpark takes single sided boards
i managed to get it single layer but kept rejecting it until i added a via and bottom trace
plus i think there biggest thing is how big the pcb is not much how complex it is

Gizmo613 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 17, 2013, 01:11:42 PM »

i do have one question though, the diagram from ghost says 150 ohm resistor. but in the topbuzz thread for this code. it says 100 ohms. would either be fine?

try either one
files and pic is fixed enjoy

thanks for the reply and awesome on the fact that you will release a dip package as well

Rodent · « **Reply #28 on:** April 17, 2013, 04:34:52 PM »

Could make these yourself if you have a laser printer? and the stuff to etch ?

3D0kassiah · « **Reply #29 on:** April 17, 2013, 04:44:44 PM »

yes most radio shack have the supplys to do it
ill do a print preview and post it and you will need a drill to drill out the via the circle thing
