Vectatus boards are currently in production. If everything goes as planned, I may extend an opportunity for interested individuals to acquire some boards or assembled units. Feel free to contact me directly if you are interested.

The boards will come mostly assembled, requiring manual assembly of:

  • USB ports

  • 2.54mm JST XH terminals or 2.54mm screw terminals (user can decide)

  • power N-channel MOSFET

  • SMD SEPIC coupled coil

  • current sense resistors (0805)

  • buttons

In the meantime I've actually build the proprietary MCU power regulator used in Vectatus and confirmed it works. The MCU worked from 2.7V to 20V :) This is very good news.

Also the buttons and differential ADC setup will likely work based on my tests.

Additionally, it appears that Quansheng has graciously provided me with complimentary samples of their forthcoming radio model through our mutual acquaintance, to which I have agreed to review.

Also it appears that addition of the reverse protection diode to the input (which can be bypassed with *BYP short on the board to improve efficiency) will likely cause Vectatus to at least to some degree support AC inputs as well. This would allow Vectatus to be powered from electric generators/alternators as well. Of course the efficiency would be better with a full diode bridge (which user could supply externally), but for the device this size it is a nice addition and extension of the application area.

To the additional info, are you talking about TK-11 modell? :-)
