I have designed a PCB, that will fit inside the plastic frame of a hammond 1455 ver2 box.

Revision 1 have the following features:
Breakout from the IDC40 header to 3 panel mount DB15 connectors.
6mm push fit Bulkhead connector, for manifold air pressure.
2 pin screwable terminal block for power.

Will soon post more of assembly and the work on revision 2.

Well that's just cool. Would love to see a pic of the whole thing assembled once you've got it done!

Nice work, I personally hate DB connectors but the panel definitely looks great

[PSIG]

That's great! I have a feeling this method will be popular in various versions for AMP, Deutsch, or other connectors. It would also be nice to provide for harness power (for all future Speedy versions) or a separate 2-pin bulkhead connector. Nice work!

Thanks for the encouragement!
Now its time for assembly of the front panel.

Mounted the DB15 connectors and crimped the flat cable to them.
6mm push fit connector mounted, with an 3/16” barb fitting for the silicone hose.

Fitted the panel inside the plastic frame and pushed it on the extruded aluminium case.

A look inside the case with the speeduino board inserted.

Everything is just test fitted, since i am working on revision 2 of the front panel.

Looking quite impressive

[noisymime]

That looks amazing! Just to be demanding, o you plan to release the design at all?

[FilipW]

Yes of course! It would be very nice to see someone more than me test the panel
I have drawn the board in eagle, and ordered via oshpark.

I can share the design directly through oshparks "Shared Projects" service. And I can upload the eagle .brd and .sch file here.

Been working on revision 2.

Revision 2 has the same features as revision 1.
Added features is a panel mounted usb-B port for connecting to the Arduino.

I have sent an order to oshpark, so I am currently waiting for the boards to arrive.

Revision 1 is now shared via oshpark, follow the link below if you would like to order your own front panel



Important to note, you will need a hammond box which is a little bit longer than proposed in the Speeduino BOM-list. I propose the box with the dimension of 160x103x53mm.
