Very nice! Have you uploaded the stl files anywhere by chance?

Re: Display Protection Board

 

Vince I¡¯m interested in getting 2 boards also.
Your right in the 3.3 volts isn¡¯t protected, what would be best to protect it, a zener?

We will do a several if you want. Just email me.
I'm going to see if there needs to be an improvement to the existing one..maybe it is me, but looks like just the data lines are protected..not the 3.3v.
Let me get the boards, and put t together, got all the parts already.

Vince,

Definitely want to sign up for one here. Let me know when you are ready to distribute them. Appreciate the service in doing so!

Re: Display Protection Board

 

Vince, I haven't been following all the discussion about this display protection board as to what different ways it will or will not to available. So I wanted to ask if you have ordered a lot of these boards or just a few for yourself and a few other folks?

Thanks,

JackAl Display Protection

 

All:

Al has made the Gerber files for his RA8875 display protection board available to all who might be interested. The Gerber files and a documentation file are in the attached zip file. I will also post these in the Files section of the JackAl group. The circuit is sufficiently simple it can also be constructed from perf board. This is the BOM for the PCB, which uses SMD parts.

Components are as follows:

  • R1 Thru R5?? 10 ohms? 1206 SMD
  • R7? 200 ohms? 1206 SMD
  • R6? 18 ohms 1206 SMD
  • IC1 ¨C IC4?? ¨C RB731U Schottky diode array from Arrow Electronics
  • C1? 0.1 uF 1206
  • C4? 10 uF SMD
  • J1? 2x5? IDC or equivalent

checked the wiring according to what i understand the diagram says.? checks ok

do you have the magic decoder ring that will tell you what each wire does?? may i be entrusted with that information.

(Before you start ordering boards...), you may want to determine the cause of voltage spikes to the display? I'm guessing a source of "spikes" might?be due to induced transients on the cabling to the display, and might better be eliminated by by-passes at the display, if so?
Just a thought?

There are several ways to do this, from one person serving as a clearing house and selling the boards for cost plus a small handling cost, to simply making the Gerbers available, which we will do. The other option is up in the air.

Re: JackAl Display and Voltage Spikes

 

All:

Al is waiting for parts to test the PCB's we had made. We expect the parts any time. We'll then build and test one using the PCB and will release the board and the Gerbers when we're sure it's right.
