![]() I'm still organizing getting these boards into inventory at OnSpeed. My first batch is 18 boards. I also have a link to the Shapeways 3D print library for Rob's stuff. Email me or Rob FMI. |
24 VDC???
Hey Vern - Any chance your power supply board is 24VDC compatible for us industrial controls types? If you are looking for thoughts on future boards... How about a POE version? Let me know if I am getting carried away ;)
Cheers, Sean |

I'm avoiding mission creap here because I don't have enough real time for all of my projects as it is (arduino graphics libraries, OnSpeed design work, hardware design, fixing my boat, marketing the blueheronaeropark.com development, building another airplane and working on a military helicopter simulator program). They call it 'retirement'. V |
Retirement???
It only means you don't have too work! I hope to join you some day.:)
Cheers, Sean |

Then I developed a surface mount version and switched to the awesome ESP-32 controller. Again it fits into a standard Hammond case. Finally, I used the off-the-shelf M5Stack display module, which contains the ESP-32, common interfaces, an optional IMU and a bright 320x240 TFT Color display in a compact package.... with a retail price less than my cost to build my other boards. My focus now is to develop custom 'shields' (such as the power/data board). For those monitoring this thread, the next shield will be for 24 volt applications. Design is done, waiting to gauge demand. We've finalized the M5Stack panel mounts, and in my next aircraft I will be mounting six or eight of them on the panel as programmable instruments and copilot displays running my graphical widgets library. In the meantime, I will be installing my OnSpeed brain box in my Harmon Rocket and tweaking my back-seat EFIS display, building my RV-15 clone, and getting ready to move to my new hangar at www.blueheronaeropark.com. I'm always looking for new applications to code or for hardware development, so I welcome suggestions. I am doing this entirely for non-commercial (translation: I do whatever I want, whenever I have time) purposes to further the advancement of our industry. Everything will be released as open source, and posted at www.huvver.tech, but only after complete flight testing. Finally, I want to give a shout-out to Rob Prior for the 3d printed parts and has contributed his time and expenses to this project. As we electrical folks say, “the electrical design is easy, it's the mechanical stuff that's hard’”. Funny, though I've never heard the opposite said by an ME (mechanical engineer). Cheers |
The ME part is mystical sorcery to me...

Thanks for the kind words, Vern! I guess whether it's EE or ME, when you've spent 25 years (or more) doing it, it becomes second nature. |
