Amber LEDs for a Nolan P1 countdown

[Ei luj]

Here's what has been developed over quite a while (due to the big move, etc.)

Predwolf wanted some amber LEDs that would brighten and dim added to the Nolan P1.

I had to get creative and a) design the circuit with as few parts as possible and figure a way to add it without having to redo the existing layout of the Nolan P1.

I found a relatively empty corner of the board and squeezed it in.

The board fits in the right corner of the Nolan P1:

Most excellent!

You've gone all fancy with the daughter board.

Damn that's some cool stuff right there.

 

[Ei luj]

MasterAnubis, Pred666...

many thanks, at one point I thought I'd never get it small enough & fit in there. Lotsa going on...

I just checked, and if I wanted to add it to the other P1 board- for the P1 Deluxe- it won't fit... it sticks 1/4" over the end of the board :0

looks good Julie. but since it is raised, and towards the bottom, how far is it going to stick out of the lid?

 

[Ei luj]

xdmray,

the little spacer under the daughterboard raise it about 3/8" higher than the main board.

Predwolf is building/designing a gaunt around the board, and thus the LED height can be figured in.

ahhhhhh. nice! then all is well.

 

[torredator]

very nice indeed!

 

[Ei luj]

many thanks Torredator

dimension correction: it should be 3/16" higher, not 3/8" :0

(need more coffee in A.M. lol )
