Typhon SS

Typhon Single Side

Many thanks to der_wille_zur_macht and others.

While searching for a basic two channel 0-10 volt PWM LED controller I stumbled upon the Typhon Project:http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1847680

My goal was to make a single side DIY PCB at home, use existing code, BOM, and footprint.

Success!

congrats, looks good!

Thanks.
It was a fun project.


Here are the Eagle and Arduino files:

Nice. For appearance purposes you could substitute a CR1220 battery holder... Will make it look less cramped than the 2032.

baconbiter,
I had the CR2032 battery holder on hand.
In fact I had everything except the 10 volt regulator and the potentiometer.

Could you please attach the schematic files for the board. Would be helpful for all to do that at home...

The files are linked in post #3 above.

I want to be clear I take no credit for this single side board or for the code.
All the heavy lifting was done by others.
I simply copied the Typhon project and stripped off the bits I did not need for my simple application so that I could etch my own single side PCB at home.

Many thanks to all involved in the Typhon Project

Cheers,

Very nice!

Very nice controller! Building my own now

Let me know if I can help.

A couple of things to be aware of:

1) Pay close attention to the tracks running between pads some are very
close and fail a DRC. Particularly the 5v track passing between pins 24 and 25 of the ATmega.

2) Disregard the three "un-routed" wires on layer 19 for J1-J3.
Eagle doesn't always handle jumpers properly.
Just make sure you turn off Layer 19 before you print!

Have fun,

lol, let me clarify! I am building my OWN controller. As in prototyping. I wish I could come up with something as elaborate as the typhon. I am building it off a mega. But all the same thanks for offering your support!!

I misunderstood.
I thought you were trying out the single side files I posted above.

You can do a Typhon with a Mega although a Mega is overkill any Arduino 328 or larger is a great starting point and a great way to learn.

I'm messing with the Jarduino project now. Talk about complex!

Good luck.

Hi, I hope you can tell me, with this Eagle files, can I use the battery holder for CR1220 or should I use the CR2032 instead?

I used a CR2032 because I had some on hand at the time.
The CR2032 battery holder I used would be simple to replace in Eagle with a CR1220 battery holder if you choose.

Good luck with your build.
