About the RC Dashboard SuperMini2 PCB

RC Dashboard SuperMini2 is an open source PCB design by tebl, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-1.2 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 26.3 × 33.2 mm, with 14 components from 11 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the OLED and SuperMini. By type, the board carries 4 connectors, 4 resistors, 2 transistors, 1 IC, 1 module and 1 jumper.

From the project

Various projects on the road to creating a more interesting system for lights on RC cars. It won't be small, but at least I'll have fun making it.

Yeah! Turns out that doing exactly that, requires understanding a lot more than simply plugging an LED into a breadboard and turning it on or off - there's logic levels, reading a PWM signal and then figuring out how to design your own PCBs. So I eventually put my parts in the infamous "someday" pile. A decade later, I've learned a few things and it was time to take something off that pile and try again!
