Well, the first one is almost finished! Got the PTC fuse, lipo cell, microUSB charger, and up/down buttons wired on. Now I need to get it in a nice enclosure. Next time I won't do it like this, I just wanted to use it lol.
Cool RW. Betcha can't wait to have it completed.
3dsMax and Solidworks are very different from each other. 3dsmax is a program that focuses on modelling for animation while Solidworks focuses on modeling for manufacturing. The only similarity I see between them is the boolean/proboolean subtraction, addition, and unify. I have not used Blender so I don't know how similar it is to Solidworks.
Ok, I see. I've been using 3ds for about 8 years and tried to learn Blender...totally different animal in most respects. It's sometimes hard to switch once you get set in your ways lol.
I was curious if this would work, but since I have PCBs coming for the Lipos, instead of wiring the DNA charge board to the DNA20 board, can I instead wire from the charge board to the pads on the PCB next to the Lipo tabs? Will this work or should I just wire to the DNA20 board as intended?
Today I finally got the wiring done for my DNA20D mod. All thats left to do is epoxy the 510 connector and potentiometer in place and drill out the holes for the OLED screen, Pot, and USB connector. Though when I connected the batteries to the board, this was what came up on the screen. Disconnecting the cells fixed the problem but I still want to know what happened to cause it.
I got an email from Brandon this morning telling me to return it and he'll send out a new replacement for me.
I got my replacement DNA20 board today . Now I'm just waiting on a shipment from mouser. Ordered a couple Hammond enclosures, PTC fuses, tactile switches and potentiometers. I still have to get some epoxy as well. Gonna see if I can get it locally first before I order it from HMC Electronics, as the $10 minimum shipping isn't worth it to me unless I make a larger order. This is what I plan on getting, though Devcon 5 min EpoxyDevon plastic welder
With the cost of gas, driving to the store isn't that much cheaper either BTW, you can ask Mouser to ship stuff via first class mail in the Shipping instructions. If you select USPS priority mail then put a shipping note to send first class, they'll do it. For small items, I've had shipping fees under $2 from them.
Sounds like you're all set. Don't forget to post the results.Haven't used the Devon but I find the Loctite Professional Job Size Epoxy the best I've ever used. Super strong and clear.
Looks really nice.Potting it is not a bad idea, makes it impervious to juice. Of course, you can't repair it when you do that. Good and bad there.Is that a 3.7V battery? Usually when it says "pack" it means it's a 2S battery and above. Did you rewire the pack?
This is not my DNA20 but one I built for someone. Before you guys comment the atty connector was not secure when I snapped these photos.
Lets try this. The forum is still giving me grief for adding attachments. Here are the newest renders for my enclosure.Below is the error message I get when I try to add attachments.
They probably got deleted on accident. The design has changed anyway so those photos are pretty much irrelevant.
I got my order from Mouser today now's time to drill out this case and get everything wired up and finished. Should have it done soon.
