I have mixed emotions about this. That is soooo cool! Simply gorgeous! But then again, I had all the printed parts to make 2 more of the first V3.1 and you go and do this? Scrap 1 and wait patiently (impatiently....must wait quietly) for this to go up on SW so that I can order one.
so is...
Sent you a PM, Copernicus. I have the inserts but don't have any extra of the M2 screws. I was going to place another order with McMaster since I also need some tubing. 10ft ought to be enough.
DNA30 all put together...well I have to glue in the charger but everything else is done. Having the wires underneath the DNA makes it a bit cleaner, but boy is that a PITA to get the wires the right length!
As for the DNA40...if I would venture a guess, I would say that there probably will be another co op...after the first of the year most likely. The printed parts are available now on either sculteo or shapeways
sculpteo Gdeal's DNA v3.1
Look for the one that says something about "all parts"
Cool...my handle in lights. too bad this might be my 15 seconds of fame. I anxiously await it being offered for sale.
Just one note...there's 1 too many "]" in that link. ;) although that didn't stop me from finding it. Thanks!
Mostly because I have 24 gauge wire and I don't have anything thinner. I have 24 gauge because that what was reccommended for the switches.
Edit: this works fine for a DNA30 but a DNA40 chips are a little larger so I couldn't get the wires to fit (with the dna30/40 cradle). I haven't gotten...
I built one with the wires on top and it just looks messy, a rat's nest of wires. With the wires underneath it will be cleaner on top of the board and access to the battery, charger & output will be easier to get to. Not to mention while soldering those connections I'll be less likely to melt...
Sanjose, here is the latest with an DNA30 cradle. The blue and green wires run between the cradle and the DNA30. Blue is for up, green for down. With .25 mm more space this would have been easier...with .5mm more I could run the positive battery lead under there also. As it stands it'll have...
I think you misunderstood. If I solder the wires from above, particularly the wires for the up/down buttons they run over the top of the board. That just looks...well, poor and tend to get in the way. I was suggesting a channel in the cradle to run those wires so they are less obvious.
Very interesting. What size screws did you use? Does the screen slide into the mount or just sit on that side? I.e., is there any positive retention for the screen? Have you given any thought to be able to run the wires for the up/down switches and the positive wire between the board and the...

That looks exactly like the one that I built....nice job. I use the cradle also and you're right it helps immensely. The other thing I like about it is there is no glue so it can be replaced easily. Big thanks to sanjosse for this.
