If shiczobovineās design uses the same components, I would just order both, 3 of each and wait to see which one works better. Then order more of the design you like. Seems like people are having problems getting the battery installed and your going for the super capacitor. Seems experimental.
Oh now Iāve noticed thereās a place for a linear regulator on the boardā¦
Silly me thought the cell/supercap was directly connected to the battery supply. Now the wait begins since Iāve placed an ordered for 12x boards.
Iām going to order some of these in a few days. I was hoping the bugs might get worked out before I did.
Which boards did you go with blue?
Iām going to order 12 of Rev B, since I prefer the LFPAK33 footprint.
Still havenāt confirmed the payment though.
Do you think I should order 6 of each just to be safe?
Do you think I should go for the 1Oz option, or thicker 2Oz copper option?
Sorry. Itās my 2nd time ordering a PCB.
You can use either one. He describes it back in his first post under the 16mm oshpark link. Itās also in the descripition at oshpark.
If you are using the LFPAK33 that is.
Oh no problem then.
Will order the boards right away. Was confused with the Q2 option in the Rev B and the Q1 option in the Rev S, but they are of the same footprint
Nice, thank you again!
Let us know how it goes Blue. Iām going to wait and see how yourās goes before I order any. I like the super capacitor idea.
Iām pretty sure you already know about Arrowās free shipping. I order everything I can from them. Thought I mention it anyway.
Yep.
The bigger problem is that only Mouser can distribute the super capā¦
So Iām going to have to order about a hundred SST-20s to get free shipping.
My GFS16ās PCBs have finally shipped!
They should be coming next week or two weeks after that.
Iāll also be ordering the components soon. Since Iāll be building about 12 of them, there will be 10 remaining.
Iāll be including a dual BeCu springs, a small and a large one.
Who wants in, if I actually manage to build any?
1. BlueSwordM
2. BlueSwordM
3. Inkidu
4. Shirnask
Iāll take one
Shirnask and Inkidu have been added to the list.
Very interested - I'll take 2, saves me the trouble for sure Thanx!
I donāt think many people were reading along in this thread or they would have jumped all over Blueās offer for the loneoceans fet switch with spring.
Iāll take 2 please, and thanks!
Never said free. Will probably sell it at cost, with shipping. It does cost money to actually make it.
It should be fairly easy to build.
Shhhh!
No prob there Blue!
1. BlueSwordM
2. BlueSwordM
3. Inkidu
4. Shirnask
5. TomE

BTW, Iām probably going to include the springs inside of the package if you donāt want/need a bypass, although not soldered for shipping not to explode.
A dual spring setup will easily be able to sustain 20A continuously.
Technically, itās 21A for nickel plated, and 24A for silver plated, but itās about the same number for me.
Blue, which super cap did you go with, if you donāt mind me asking.
I ordered 6 sets of oshpark boards.
Opps, I fixed it. :person_facepalming:
I havenāt ordered the super caps yet, but:

If you want, to lower costs, I can buy in bulk the components with you. Will ship them as quickly as possible.
