About the Sensorstrip power-42-diamond PCB
Sensorstrip power-42-diamond is an open source PCB design by eatnooM, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 60 × 22 mm, with 15 components from 7 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 7 connectors, 4 resistors, 2 diodes, 1 fuse and 1 switch.
From the project
USB-C powered, slim IR emitter for use with Wii / light guns
You'd have to be quite mad to use this board. Here's a picture of mine:
A board that will take 5V from its USB-C board with 3 power states:
- Off - 2IR (for Wii or 2IR-based light guns) - 4IR (for light guns supporting square layouts)
This board is great if you use one display for both Wii gameplay and light gun games.
You'll need 6 emitter boards to make full use of this power board, as the diamond layout doesn't contain a usable sensor bar layout.
