Radio
About the Radio PCB
Radio is an open source PCB design by ansemjo, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 75 × 40 mm, with 32 components from 27 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the AP2114H-3.3TRG1 and SN74HCT245PWR. By type, the board carries 12 resistors, 9 capacitors, 2 ICs, 2 connectors, 2 antennas and 2 inductors.
It belongs with the displays & leds and rf & radio designs in this gallery.
From the project
hardware project for a clock around a russian ivl2-5/7 vfd and an esp32-wroom module
A vacuum-flourescent display (VFD) clock project based on Soviet NOS IVL2-7/5 / ИВЛ2-7/5 tubes. This has been my first somewhat complex hardware project when I got into electronics design in 2020 and grew to multiple iterations over the years.
vfddriver — updated display board, which can be used over I2C sandwich — the original clock design with two boards * other — links to initial research prototypes and various experiments
