Obito Uchiha PCB Badge
Introduction: Obito Uchiha PCB Badge
Hey Everyone what's up!
You guys remember <PERSON> right? from Naruto Shippuden!
well, I made a PCB Badge of Him.
So this is my <PERSON> Badge which is made from an Fr4 PCB Board, Cool right?
<PERSON> has Sharingan in one eye and Rinnegan in another eye.
But in this PCB edition, Sharingan is imitated by three Blue LEDs which are constantly blinking in a chaser sequence, and a Purple LED which will imitate the Rinnegan.
But wait, Sharingan is Red!
Well yes, its color is RED but I currently don't have RED LEDs so let's just say it's Blue for now.
In this Instructables, I'm gonna show you guys how I made this Obito PCB Badge and its whole designing process in few easy steps.
Also, this whole Badge is powered by the all-mighty Attiny13A Microcontroller!
So let's get started.
Supplies
Material Required
These are the stuff that I used in this build
* Attiny13A
* CUSTOM PCB
* 8205S Mosfet IC
* 10K Resistors
* THT Micro USB
* Coin Cell holder
* Purple UVC LED
* RED LEDs (i used blue LEDs though)
Step 1: Prologue
So recently I've been making these cool-looking badges of nerdy stuff from movies and anime!
one easy way of making these Badges is 3D Printing but you see, it's more convenient to make these badges from PCB.
Let me tell you why!
Badge shape can be made in PCB Cad software, we can add our character's drawing on the PCB Silkscreen, then place components like LEDs around the drawing. In the end, we generate Gerber data and send it to a PCB manufacturer.
That PCB Manucature will produce the Badge professionally and we don't have to do anything except for the unboxing and the assembly process.
by the way, I used PCBWay Service for this PCB Badge this time! more about that in few mins!
Step 2: BASICS of Making a Badge
So you're a newbie who just got into PCB Designing and but you don't know how to make this kind of art-ish project with your current PCB Cad software?
Well, don't worry!
Let me show you how you can make this kind of project in few easy ways.
* Now, in order to get started with any Badge PCB Project, you first need an electronic setup that you will put on your badge. you could also not add this stuff and make a completely empty PCB Badge with only art stuff on it but adding LEDs or to a badge make it better as lighting can improve its overall impact.
In easy words, add at least a few LEDs to make your badge look cool.
Got it?
* Next after finalizing the schematic, we search for our drawing or illustration that we can add to our PCB.
* In this Badge of Mine, I first search for a Back and white image.
Why Black and white, why not use the color images?
You see, most of the PCB Manufactures uses Black and white Silkscreen, coloring the whole PCB is possible but it's very expensive as it will require a lot of silkscreen color and a whole another process so that is one reason why most PCB manufacturers do not have this Multi-Color Silkscreen Process.
Because it would cost more, so we have to design our board in such a way that we can use a black and white image and use the Black or white color to our advantage.
* After getting an Image, which was this, I first remove its background and make it white.
* Next, we convert this image into a BMP image as my software only imports logos in BMP format which is a standard format for importing image but other software include adding PNG so you can skip this converting process and import your image into the PCB Cad software. 982
(how to do that? well in my OrCAD software, I have to make a logo file first and then add the image into this logo file, later then I can import the logo file into my PCB design. this process is long and your software probably can directly import the image so search around for any imported image option or just google how you can do that in your PCB cad software)
* Next, we place all the components around the logo or on the logo like in my case, LEDs are this character's eyes so I have to put them on his eyes.
* then we connect tracks and do the general thing which is required in a PCB Designing process. which is to connect tracks one by one. 1014
