Starlight – Driver PCBs Arrived!
Santa made me very happy the other day when I saw an envelope in my mailbox. Since I ordered two different PCBs I wasn’t sure which one was in the envelope but it turned out it was the Driver PCB for my Starlight Controller project. Excuse the crappyness of my phone’s pictures but my digital camera is on holidays until further notice…
And a short rant time! While designing the PCB I used the terminal connectors’ datasheet as a guide for hole placement. Apprently, I was looking at the wrong datasheet because my connectors hang off the PCB by 1mm. Instead of 10mm hole-to-edge distance my connectors have 11mm distance. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem but since this PCB is supposed to go into a DIN-rail enclosure I could face some problems later…
