Right angled pin headers then helped plug in 3-pin and 2-pin dupont connectors from the individual modules to the appropriate analogue and digital locations on the arduino. In order to fit that into my V, G, S design, I built this potentiometer breakout board: The pins on a standard 10K 3-pin potentiometer are - G, S, V. The top and bottom panels are 1/4" thick acrylic panels measuring 4.5"x18" each. I used a 9"x18" piece that I cut into two to make these panels.

A tip for anyone else trying to cut acrylic sheets - do it in a well ventilated area - the chemical odour is very strong, and lingers for a long time. The two pieces are held together using 2" high "sign holders". I might elevate the backside a little bit to have this sit on the floor at an angle, rather than sit flat. The module circuit design has three right-angle trace corners - at 5v levels I am not sure how much that would matter, but if I did this again, I would fix that.Continuing from part 1 of this ATtiny2313 breadboard header with DipTrace -tutorial, I’ll now go through the PCB design. In DipTrace Schematic Editor, I used File->Convert to PCB (CTRL-B) to get the components and connections exported to PCB Layout tool. Like it’s schematic counterpart, also this tool is quite easy to use.įirst I change the grid to 5 mil so each step is half of the 10 mil breadboard hole spacing.

I then proceed arrange the components roughly to final layout, and add two 10-pin headers which will plug into breadboard. I then remove some component names which are not sorely needed, and change the location for the remaining ones to the center of the component. Spacebar is again used to rotate components 90 degrees, and multiple items can be selected with ctrl+click. You probably notice that at some points of the video, the popup-menu options go outside the recording area. Diptrace library right angle header code#.
