Various Circuits [2005]

You may not see them, but it doesn't mean I don't do them. I just hide my circuits behind all those layers of latex rubber.

 

 The print mask for the Genpet circuits. 8.5x11.

Flesh shoe v02. This circuit allows for 1x 18pin microchip, 3x tip120's and misc extra connectors.

 

Genpet Flicker Circuit. Derivative of the first (below) but it swaps control of the servos, for some neato light effects on the fresh strip. Still includes 2x tip 120's, 1x servo, 4 leds, 1x 18pin microchip, heart monitor connector.

Genpet Main Circuit. Controls the fresh strip, heart monitor and animatronic movement of the creatures.

It includes 1x 18pin microchip, 3x tip 120's, 4x leds, 1 connector for heart monitor, 4 servo connectors, 1 speaker connector, and a few misc connectors for resistors, power, and later add ons.

In total, I had to hand drill 2563 holes for the 36 circuits.

 

Heart Monitor circuit v1.0

Includes a 4017 sequencer and 5 green leds. the sequencer recieves commands from 2 pins emminating from the main genpet circuit.

Yes, I etch circuits from the comfort of my living room. mmmmmm chemicals...
Printed Heart Monitors. Work in progress on the main circuits.
