gChart's Hand Made entry - 7th Annual BLF/OL Contest

The mockup looks really good. Is the switch about 5mm square?

Here it is next to a 18650 and Tool AA for scale. The switch is 12mm square with a ~7mm diameter button.

Small. :slight_smile:

:+1:

Lookin good gchart

Among other things (see the OP), PCBs have been created and ordered using Oshpark’s After Dark service (black substrate with clear mask).

After dark for black magic?
They look good. :beer:

Black Magic, you know it!

I recently tried the After Dark for some tailcaps and they came out great. To take full advantage of the service, you need to tailor your design for it so that the traces look good (and potentially using copper for labels instead of silkscreen):

:sunglasses:

I’m somewhat jealous of your electronics skills :wink:

And I of your metal work skills! Your creations are inspiring.

PCBs arrived today and they look great! I can’t wait to get them soldered up and tested.

Wow. Looking real good. It really is 50% black magic now. :person_facepalming:

Haha, I see what you did there, Moose. :smiley:

Only 3 flashling pins? Are you going to use TinyAVR? :slight_smile:

Yup! It’ll use an attiny412 running RampingIOS (D4 V2 UI). I originally hoped for getting Anduril on it, but I don’t think I’ll have time before the end of the contest to port Anduril over to the TinyAVR 1-series. Maybe afterwards… that’s what exposed pads are for, right?

:slight_smile:

I’m sure you just cast a spell then…. :laughing: Looking forward to the next update :beer:

Multi talented guy here fellas. Someone into black magic and can speak fluently in, not sure which, either Chinese or Swahili.
We are lucky to have you around gchart. love your work. :beer:

wait, you will use 3d printed parts in final product?? i just noticed that, actually it was your build that inspired me to enter with a 3d printed light. just like your holders inspired me to learn graphic design. looking forward to see finished build,
