About the Backup PCB
Backup is an open source PCB design by 411568, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 320 × 81.3 mm, with 98 components from 10 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the TLC5916IN and LTV-847. By type, the board carries 80 diodes, 6 switches, 4 resistors, 3 transistors, 2 ICs and 2 connectors.
It belongs with the rf & radio and audio designs in this gallery.
From the project
Simple FM radio based on Atmega8 and TEA5767 module
This project is a revision of one of my old designs, created a long long time ago when atmel atmega chips where still dirty cheap.
It contains two seperate boards: - mainradioboard - this one contains an Atmega8 microcontroller, TEA5767 FM radio module, PAM8302 amplifier module and power connector. - displayandcontrols_board - this one is specificly designed to fit in an old Unitra radio case, it has LEDs used as radio frequency indicators, rotary encoder for changing the frequency, potentiometer for volume and some additional buttons.
