gChart's Hand Made Class, 8th Annual BLF/OL contest [Finished!]

All of the parts approximately in their respective places, sans wires.

Also, just made the hole for the charging port. Drilled a couple holes and then opened between them with a knife.

Looking to see where the rabbit hole leads you/us :wink:
Good work, keep it up :wink:

It is good to see this underway!

I love it. Anduril driver, 5mm LEDs, on-board charging, and a small tub of “Working Hands”

Current draw measured. In standby, the draw is a measly 7.5 uA. With LEDs at full brightness it’s 84 mA. With how I had the CN5710 set, I was figuring around 90 mA, so not too shabby.


Driver testing is complete. Anduril is fully functional! [WARNING - flashing lights!]

I love black magic and trying to learn a new language. Nice work. :beer:

thanks Moose!

Next up:

  • Drill holes for the LEDs in the lid
  • Finalize electrical connections
  • Glue everything in place
  • Final testing & documentation
  • Enjoy a beverage

I don’t know where you grow these ideas, but they’re cool!!! :sunglasses:

Your skills are impressive :beer:

Touch-switch, Anduril, 5mm leds, übercool! :sunglasses:

Small update, but it’s an update I guess. I drilled the holes for the LEDs and dry fitted them. Not quite sure what I’ll use to glue them in place… UV-cured glue? Hot melt glue? I’m out of clear epoxy. I’ve got JB weld but that would look unsightly. Probably just the UV glue I guess.

:beer:

Here we go! Build is finished.

One of the more difficult things that I didn’t anticipate is that this kind of plastic doesn’t take glue very well. Hot glue was a no-go. Original Gorilla Glue fell right off. Gorilla Glue Super (CA) Glue Gel didn’t do any better. I ended up having some success with DAP RapidFuse.

Gteat! Very tidy inside.

Nice work ! :+1: :beer:

Nice result! Anduril for a reading light for the children, that is true BLF spirit :slight_smile:

Congratulations for your finished build! Well done. :sunglasses: :+1:

It is really cool that these 5mm leds are running with Anduril.

Nice build and great video gchart :+1:

:laughing: Nice.

Awesome! Great design and creativity using your own design and fusing it with Andruil. You could probably market that as a reading or nightlight.
