Materials
Gerber file
CAM/CAD data for the PCB referred to in this article is available as a Gerber file. Elektor GREEN and GOLD members can exclusively download these files for free as part of their membership. Gerber files allow a PCB to be produced on an appropriate device available locally, or through an online PCB manufacturing service.
Elektor recommends the Elektor PCB Service service from its business partner Eurocircuits or AISLER as the best services for its own prototypes and volume production.
The use of our Gerber files is provided under a modified Creative Commons license. Creative Commons offers authors, scientists, educators and other creatives the freedom to handle their copyright in a more free way without losing their ownership.
Extra info / Update
In the parts list in the printed magazine, the designations IC3 and IC4 should be interchanged. This does not affect the PCB or the circuit diagram.
All passive SMD parts are rectangular shape, footprint SMD1206.
Of the ADC1175JM and ADC1175TC mentioned in the article, only the –JM version is a discontinued part. The PCB has been designed to accept both versions.
LED light bars are available from, among others, www.reichelt.de (e.g. # LED 13,5RGB 3W).
Contrary to what is stated in the article text on page 28, ready-built boards are not available through the Elektor Shop.
Update: 15 May 2008
New firmware uploaded. Added bootloader.
