WIP DNA20 Eclipse Tin Steampunk-ish Mod

Yeah that FFC/FPC connector would be really nice and save a lot of people some trouble.

Totally. Getting a ZIF connector on there would make life a lot easier.

Thanks!

About the voltage drop....don't get me wrong I totally agree with you....but when using something like the dna that shouldn't effect what is being applied to the atty....unless I'm totally misunderstanding something.

I think we're on the same page here. The dna (or any other regulator) will supply the correct voltage to the atty. But the high IR will affect battery performance and decrease useable capacity and service life. Frequently dipping below 3V under load can also cause an unsafe situation with these LiPo's - they can puff up and vent explosively.

I like the back flip connector as it locks tight away from the actual connection....its speced as an easy on....but not necessarily a ZIF (zero insertion force)

Introducing the next product in the bap-guard line for the Evolv DNA20 (V2 will include holes for the onboard adjustment buttons I forgot )



The Full Body Guard - Is a protective and non-conductive suit of armor for your DNA20.

I know all about lipo's and what happens when things go wrong. Kind of got out of RC so now I have surplus of mod battery options

Wow! that is quite a collection of lipo's.

Oh, and the "backflip" connector is interesting, but it might be difficult to access in certain configurations. I was thinking ZIF, because you can install the screen independently, fiddle with the board wiring, seat everything in position, and then, right when everything's done, sneak the FFC into the ZIF.

Extra safe

Ok ok....looks to fit fairly well.....the outside is a "raft" layer that I have been using to get more solid prints, but it sands off fairly easy.

Ok, you guys are blowing my mind (3D Cad design and now a site that makes your design into a reality)!! Fairly new to ECF and have been following your threads for awhile, pretty cool! I ordered Mamu's DNA20 Screen Cradle for the Mod I'm building. Nice job guys!

3600mah stuffed into the eclipse mod

Might have to drop a cell down 2700mah but we will see.
