[Picaxe08M2Micro_Board_V1.0vs2.0.jpg] Board was Updated! Version 2.0 is done. :) I have created this small Picaxe08M2 Board so it can be integrated in small robots or other projects which require small dimentioned PCBs and components. The Power Supply Board is as small as the …

I notice a large number of components on the PSU board. Also, is the vreg pulling enough current to require a heatsink? I bet you tried everything you could to not need that overhanging board. :slight_smile:

The Board’s were made using the Picaxe datasheet… Well, the Vreg could be replaced by the smaller 78L05 (TO-92 package) instead of this one (TO-220 package) which would be enough, and yes, the heatsink is not needed. But a “big” Vreg with heatsink gives it a nice look! …

Nice, I like those little Nice, I like those little things, even I do not have had worked with a Picaxe yet. I am sure it could be done for ATtiny too :wink: Well done Werner!

Thank’s lumi! Thank’s lumi! Yeah, I have some miniature PCB’s :slight_smile: But doing so with “normal” components, not SMD, becomes real interesting and fun to do. I think it’s possible to do with almost all components, usually I “test” the desing on a PCB software with 3D Simu…

That’s cool. This would fit That’s cool. This would fit in my small robot very well. we are just going to design a PCB for our swarm robot project and we will have to do it small as well since we are restricted to 5x5x5cm

Nice little board. For Nice little board. For comparison, have you seen this board by Picaxe? How would you compare your board to that one?

I know that one! :slight_smile: It’s a nice board, and It’s basically the same, with prototyping area and the 3.5mm jack download socket. It is possible to fit a 3.5mm jack on mine but since I use the same dowload cable for 3 different platforms (Picaxe, C-Control and 89C51RD2),…

If you want/ need I can help! If you want, “throw-me” a schematic, and I’ll see what I can do to srink it! :slight_smile: And make it still buildable with “normal” component’s! If you like the idea, i’ll just mail you the files. If not, no worries! :slight_smile:

Thanks for the offer. right Thanks for the offer. right now we just have an idea :wink: Once we get some drawings I will send you the schematics.

OK! :slight_smile: Hope to see your swarm robot project up and running! It sound’s great! And usefull in many areas of research… :slight_smile: When you have something, contact-me…
