Just for fun, I built another lightsaber between building v1 and v2. It was more of a test platform to see what I could do with PVC tubing as a hilt material. Most intriguing was trying to make a curved hilt much like Count Dooku. I also wanted to try out different ways of mounting the blade. An unexpected finding of v1.5 was realizing how much voltage drop affected the LED string, which is something I fixed in v3. Here’s a couple pictures.
Designed some boards and wrote an Open Alliance SPI driver to talk to the NCN26010 and ADIN1110 MAC-PHYs.
Converts 10BASE-T to 10BASE-T1L. Powerable over PoE or PoDL and can be a PoDL injector. Theoretically works over 1km.
Inspired by Hak5’s design, I wrote a generic Zephyr app with similar core functionality. I even wrote a reverse shell payload to demonstrate.
Quick little 2-layer BGA board with USB HS and SDHC.
