Flashlight

PCB-Compilation

A collection of custom PCB designs, prototypes, and lab projects built for research and experimentation.

Relay Control Board

A robust relay control and safety management board designed for hardware kill switching, power distribution, and status monitoring.

Key Features:

• Relay Outputs: Features 7 relay outputs with selectable 12V and MCU-level voltage control options, protected by a fuse and TVS diode.
• Kill & Safety System:
  • 6 input signals with individual red status LEDs to monitor when a kill state is active.
  • 2 dedicated inputs for manual override (enables the yellow status indicator; overridden by the red kill state).
  • Active high/low configuration jumpers for flexible input/output logic.
  • Hardware override jumper to unkill the system.
• Light Tower Status Indicators: Built using 0803 SMD LEDs for clean labeling and visual feedback:
  • Enable
  • Red: Kill enabled
  • Yellow: Manual enable
  • Green: Autonomous / default operation

Air Quality Sensor Breakout Boards

I am building a set of sensor breakout boards that will eventually be combined into a single air quality sensing PCB. These boards are still in progress, and I am finishing the analog sensor boards before moving on to the digital ones.

These breakout boards were made for the Machine Intelligence Laboratory (MIL) and are part of a larger integrated sensing platform. View the breakout designs on GitHub.

STUSB 4500 Controller

The STUSB 4500 controller is one of the more complicated PCBs I have made, largely due to the use of USB C protocols and having to solder it by hand.

This board was made for FOCUS Lab last year and represents a more complex design in the collection. View the project source on GitHub.

Flashlight Project

This was a quick and fun project to build two flashlights that produce over 20,000 lumens each while keeping the cost as low as possible. The total cost for both was approximately $50. (I also just wanted to make a single sided aluminum PCB).

Project Summary

This repository highlights a diverse range of custom PCB projects, including modular air quality and hydrogen sensor systems, a comprehensive relay control board with hardware safety features, research-focused USB-C power controllers, and high-output lighting builds.
