Prototype cartridge PCB arrived. This uses my little RTC kit which solders onto the larger cartridge PCB.
I added on the cartridge connector on the left side of the PCB. I need to try this out, but finding connectors is hard going. So I will re-use one from a scrap motherboard to try another time.
Not much to really say. It works and shows the time on desktop with a ACC.
I may look into creating some 3D printed cases for this. Though I am not sure when I will have time to study the 3D software. So if anyone wants to design some STL files for this project for me, then please let me know :)
Pretty cool. I'm guessing the pins on the left side will be for a pass thru in the future?
ReplyDeleteYes :) Finding the connectors is near impossible these days though :(
DeleteI like it Chris, certainly another option for those folks who are worried about installing it internally.
ReplyDeleteYes. Nothing like having hardware sticking out all over the place :)
