And so we were using an older version of the pen hex system, we were using like an E fuse. Point three, three repeating inches one, of course. I mean, they're like an inch long by, you know, a third of an inch wide, something like that. So I don't know if I want to go with those 20 millimeter glass fuses, again, I'm thinking about going with, because the whole idea is to make the pendant or smaller, and those are pretty large components on the board. I mean, the whole point of abuse is to break it entirely. I would I want to guess that's how that works. It's just preventing it down to whatever the LED is. So it's not preventing everything from flowing. Led, and I guess that probably limits the current so you don't blow the LED and you're melt your wire. So everything has to flow through the LED, The fuse is in parallel with the LED is what you're saying? And then the parallel section breaks.
And I think if the, if it blows, it probably limits the current, how much is going through it because there is a path to ground somewhere on the other side. Which allows current to only go through because if it otherwise the LED, gets shunted. When it blows it shorts the leg of the LED somehow, I guess so. I mean, it's two terminals, and it when it blows it. I've got some automotive fuses like ATC style automotive fuses that only have when you look into them. Yeah, you could just have the output control that transistor there that would flip it. I think there's a way to make it so that go it lights up the fuse blows by can't remember how that works. No, the LED would go out at the fuse below blue. Yeah, those are the ones where you had the LED underneath them, right. I think we were using like 20 millimeter fuses on the pin heck. Fuses are pretty inexpensive to integrate onto a board. And so I can do fuses, which are actually pretty inexpensive. But I like to do like overcurrent protection for this kind of stuff as well.
And I'm like, okay, TV s and ESD protection is a given. I'm still trying to figure out if I want to use because I needed some kind of input protection. And I'm probably going to use like ti workbench to do the power supply design. So we know everything functions before we integrate it all. And so you know, building a, you know, 10 inch by six inch board all the way out, just built like little tiny modules. So I'm going to make those individual boards as well to test those. So like basically next steps for that is to start doing the power design and testing for the penetrator.
And he actually got his today and was able to get some test code running on it, making sure the comm like the USB type C interface works, that all works fine. A back from the FAB, and it'll works really cool.
And I got my breakout boards for the ATC MD 21 g 18. Okay, so last time we were have we had a podcast, I was working on the penetrator pinball platform. We are your host, Stephen Craig and Parker Dolman. Welcome to the macro fab engineering podcast. Visit our Public Slack Channel and join the conversation in between episodes!
Cool technique for removing hiss and fizz from your recordings.Will get this documented on the Longhorn Engineer blog.Next steps is power design and testing for PinoTaur.Close & amp amp amp lt img height="1" width="1" border="0" alt="" src=" amp amp amp amp amp random=1389212343697& amp amp amp amp cv=7& amp amp amp amp fst=1389212343697& amp amp amp amp num=1& amp amp amp amp fmt=1& amp amp amp amp guid=ON& amp amp amp amp u_h=768& amp amp amp amp u_w=1366& amp amp amp amp u_ah=728& amp amp amp amp u_aw=1366& amp amp amp amp u_cd=24& amp amp amp amp u_his=10& amp amp amp amp u_tz=-300& amp amp amp amp u_java=false& amp amp amp amp u_nplug=11& amp amp amp amp u_nmime=27& amp amp amp amp frm=1& amp amp amp amp url=https%3A///> & amp amp lt div style="display:inline "> & amp amp lt img height="1" width="1" style="border-style:none " alt="" src="//googleads.g.doubleclick.
