| + | Here are some pictures of the master unit that I have built. The board is a home made version of the pic core along with a custom DOUTx2 DINx1 board. I had intended to separate the 2 boards but the whole panel fitted in the case so left them as one. I left several components out of the core part, only the parts required for this project are fitted. The unit is powered by a 5volt SMPS. | ||
