Introducing Karl's meticulously reverse-engineered six-pack display units, designed to replicate the genuine units down to the finest detail. These six-packs feature non-slip film-covered fronts to discreetly hide text and ensure a genuine feel.
Components:
PCBs: Each six-pack includes two essential PCBs:
LED Backplate: Ensures complete illumination with two LEDs per caption.
Switch Backplate: Houses four ALPS soft-press buttons for a tactile press and reliable recall action.
Lenses: Crafted from 3mm orange perspex, primed, painted black, laser engraved, and coated with a non-slip film to protect and conceal the text when off.
Options Available:
Complete DIY Set:
2 Switch PCBs
2 LED PCBs
2 Lenses (FO & CPT) with non-slip film
Individual PCB Sets:
1 Set of PCBs
1 Switch PCB
1 LED PCB
Lenses with Film:
6 Pack Lenses with Film
2 Lenses FO & CPT ready to fit
Lenses without Film:
6 Pack Lenses without Film
2 Lenses FO & CPT without film for a more straightforward look
PCB Versions:
Common Anode: This is Ideal for use with the Pokeys card and Karl’s Breakout Board (BOB), which uses output shift registers. There are no onboard resistors on this board, as they are not required when using it with a shift register. The LEDs are white SMD.
Common Ground: Suitable for Arduino and Karl’s BOB using digital pins. These PCBs do have onboard resistors set to the right current at 5V. The LEDs are white and run at 20mA using a 51 Ohm resistor on each LED pair.
