@Kels_316 so, Arj Barker then?

Hm, looks like it will be about $300 to get a run of 20 PCAL6534 prototype breakouts fully manufactured by JLCPCB. Thats… not great.

jpm,
@jpm@aus.social avatar

Or… about $400 for 50 if I expand the panel from 1x4 to 2x5

jpm,
@jpm@aus.social avatar

Either way it’s like $200 for the PCBs, because they’re 6L to get the trace/space down to what’s needed, but the minimum assembly size is 70x70mm which is larger than the cheap-price 50x50.

jpm,
@jpm@aus.social avatar

Assembly is another $40 or so, and parts make up the rest, with the most expensive bit being 50 of the IC’s then the next most expensive bit is the JST QWIIC-compatible connector

jpm,
@jpm@aus.social avatar

Both the JST connector and the PCAL6534 aren’t in stock at the moment anyway. Maybe I’ll pre-order them while seeing what the demand is like (if any)?

plotting out a power steering system for Harvey the 1957 land rover and you can buy an electric power steering pump for less than it costs for a belt driven pump and the fabrication of a bracket for it. I do like the future sometimes.

@Kels_316 did you price in an alternator upgrade to something with enough herps to run a pump that big?

it has gotten to the point where I'm having to send this to JLC's engineers because after FOUR STRAIGHT DAYS of explaining to them that they must not attach edge rails to the end of the edge connector, they said ok, then sent me a review file where they did it anyway.

jpm,
@jpm@aus.social avatar

@gsuberland … why does that connector look very much like a SFP (it’s not though)?

jpm,
@jpm@aus.social avatar

@gsuberland … waitaminute, where’s that SFP footprint I made a while ago when I was thinking about putting an entire RasPi-class ARM machine inside a SFP

Do you have a jump-starter in your car? If not, grab a capacitor-based one, not a Li-I battery one, like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003760686410.html

jpm,
@jpm@aus.social avatar

@0x33 I don’t have this particular one so I can’t comment on how well it might work in the dead-battery case. The last few “dead” car batteries I’ve had have had a single internal cell failure so the battery could only put out about 9-10V at full charge, but still plenty of current. My guess is that this thing is designed to limit the input current into a voltage boost circuit, so the higher the input voltage at the current limit then the faster it will “charge” - which is why they say half an hour from USB (5V)

@Kels_316 is “breakthrough” a euphemism for taking a giant satisfying shit?
