| The mounted IR datalink
USB standalone pcb controlled by a 18F2553 PIC, the apparatus codes are saved in
the 24LC256 eeprom (32Kb or 50 apparatus). The IR datalink USB uses
approx. 60 mA during standby and a bit more during IR transmission, this
will give you a battery life of 8-8,5 hours. |

early tests. The IR datalink USB standalone is menu controlled, through the buttons
below the display, very clever indeed. |

We have ordered aluminum front
plates, this is my brothers version in blank aluminum as he has chosen a
white enclosure. Open the pdf to check out this very nice design.

Here are the CAD design files if
you want to order mine or my brothers front aluminum plates. |

The aluminum has arrived, and we have mounted the last components on the
pcb, the IR diodes and the on/off switch.
|
 |
|
Here is a close up picture of the on/off switch. Note the switch is
soldered on a 3 pin molex connector because the original pins are just a
little bit to short, this also gives the switch some extra strenght.
|
 |
|
| We use a 90 degree angled molex connecter for the 9 Volt as there is not
enough space in the enclosure for a normal molex. |
 |
|
| This is the enclosure inside before the electronics is mounted. |

picture the enclosure is not to large :-) |

|
| Take a look at my brothers finished IR datalink USB, must say I am very pleased
with finished result. |

 |
|
| We have implemented a battery meter so you can see how long the battery
will last. We have made a very interesting test with a 9 Volt Duracell
Ultra con a 9 Volt Duracell Plus, with a little surprising result, will
put the data on the web asap. |
