Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

A backrooms-ass room with a twilight sky and trees seemingly imposed over it in a dream-like fashion (it's the reflection of the window)

Years in the making, I finally have a working prototype of my Camera GBD-M2 (previously shared as Game Boy Camera M2). A sequel to the Game Boy Camera M1, this new redesign uses original Game Boy Pocket & Game Boy Camera chips into a camera-like shape roughly the same size as the Ricoh GR III.

In this one, I go over some of the major changes I made to the second revision of the "Meshlet" PCB I designed for use with Meshtastic, and what warranted a full redesign after the first attempt. ko-fi.com/post/Meshlet...

Major progress! I did have to cheat a bit using the internal layers to route some power traces, but that should be fine, I think. All the important stuff is routed over unbroken ground. But this makes my first real 4-layer design! Test batch coming soon, after I make the silkscreen look nice 💪

A top-down shot of a render of a densely packed circuit board. There's a USB C port on the top right, a button roughly in the middle, several jumper pads along the bottom left, and 3 status LEDs along the bottom middle.

A top-down shot of the same render, but this time it's the back. There's a battery connector on the left, a battery chemistry selection jumper on the bottom left corner, and footprints for both the LoRa radio and a Raspberry Pi RM2 wifi module along the right.

A screenshot of the PCB layout as seen in the editor. The red top layer is highlighted in this screenshot.

dj505 @5panel.dance · 06/01/2026

This is a very early set of screenshots, and it's nowhere near done. Probably gonna be another 1-2 months before I can even think about testing it. But it's very satisfying learning from the prototyping process, and actually fixing my silly mistakes :) I got rid of over a dozen unnecessary parts!

000

dj505 @5panel.dance · 06/01/2026

Meshlet v2 on the way!! I managed to shrink down the PCB plenty without losing features! Just no more unnecessary parts for debugging or testing (or because I misread the datasheet lol oops) This board clocks in at only 42*32mm -- and it shouldn't die as soon as the wifi module tries to transmit!

Top-down view of an unfinished PCB, featuring several nicely laid out jumpers and LEDs, alongside many neatly organized chips.

Alright, maybe not *that* neatly organized. But it's plenty better than the last one.

A screenshot of the back side of an unfinished PCB. There are footprints visible for a battery connector, power input, LoRa radio module, and Raspberry Pi RM2 wifi module. The battery connector is pointing away from the edge of the board, instead of towards the outside, to allow for easier and slimmer case designs.

A screenshot of the unfinished PCB being routed. It's a mess, and there are several light blue lines connecting pins that have not yet been routed. It'll look better soon! I promise!

There's something extra satisfying about designing your own hardware. Not just the 3D printed shell, but the electronics inside, too. Like. I *made* that!! For once I didn't just put an off-the-shelf board into a neat little case!! Now that I know what needs revising, I can get started on v2 🥳

A photo of a Meshtastic node sitting atop a wooden surface. It's a basic device, in a nondescript black 3D printed shell. It has an antenna sticking out the upper left corner, and a mechanical keyboard switch (Kailh Choc red, in case you're curious) on the lower left corner. There's a screen in the middle displaying some information about the node. Above the screen, the word "MESHLET" is engraved into the shell.

dj505 @5panel.dance · 25/12/2025

If this one works out, I'm thinking of rebuilding the PCB from scratch on a 4-layer PCB. I've only ever worked with 2 layer boards before so if anyone has any tips/tricks/resources it would be a big help!

020

dj505 @5panel.dance · 25/12/2025

For v0.2, I added dedicated LDOs for the RP2350, LoRa radio, and all the smaller peripherals - 3 in total! The WiFi module now draws power directly from the battery chip's output. Last but certainly not least, I added a bunch of decoupling caps that I somehow managed to miss the first time around.

A screenshot of the revised PCB in KiCAD's 3D viewer. The board is a black rectangle with rounded corners, about half the size of a credit card, with gold contacts for the components & solder points. It's pretty messy, but many of the decorative details previously present have been replaced with additional components.

dj505 @5panel.dance · 25/12/2025

I'm not sure what I was thinking, but it was probably "yeah 200mA will be enough" before I fell victim to the feature creep. The WiFi radio alone draws ~270mA in bursts whenever it tries to trasmit, lol.

dj505 @5panel.dance · 25/12/2025

Got some updates after a day of testing! Things that work: - LiPo charging via both inputs! - Solar charging, even with those tiny cheap 5v panels! - BME280 temp/etc sensor - 3 channel power monitoring - WiFi! Things that don't: - Trying to use a single 200mA 3v3 LDO to power everything. - Oops.

Signs of life!! Just waiting on the radio modules...

A photo of a PCB sitting on top of a battery, which is sitting on the edge of a desk, in front of a keyboard. There are two bright LEDs on one side of the PCB, one white and one red, but they're so close together that they blend into one point of light. There's a yellow USB cable plugged in on the upper end of the PCB, and the battery is connected by a plug on the closer right end.

A screenshot of the Meshtastic Android application UI, showing the power metrics from the board. Channel 1 (battery) displays 3.98 volts and 88 milliamps. Channel 2 (solar MPPT/DC input) displays 0.7 volts and 0 milliamps, as it's disconnected. Channel 3 (USB input) displays 5.26 volts and -118mA. It's negative because it's charging, not discharging.

Sounds neat! I wanted to move away from the esp32 because of its high power consumption - it's not very friendly with solar power, and I want to be able to leave these unattended for extended periods lol. Would love to see how yours turns out! What kinda RF stuff did you have in mind aside from FM?

Almost there... 👀

A photo of the front side of a printed circuit board, unfinished, roughly half populated with components.

A photo of the back side of the same PCB. There are plenty of decorative details present, including stylized text showing the name of the board (Meshlet) and the hardware revision (version 0.1). There's also a QR code leading to the project page, and a few blocks of text listing battery warnings and describing functionality for several jumpers on the front side.

Obviously, you look up the sensor datasheet, do some light reverse engineering on the PCB, snip some traces, and pull the "DIR" pin listed in the datasheet high to reverse the output direction! Shoutouts to the manufacturer for not laser etching the IC part numbers out :)

The PCB from the first photo, but with the magnet sensor chip removed, sitting beside the board. It's an AS5600 IC, which is a programmable hall effect sensor that can communicate over I2C, as well as output an analog or PWM signal.

A zoomed in photo of the board with some scribbling on it. I've drawn a blue mark on the pin I want to identify, with a line leading to a circle, representing a trace going to a via, which grounds the pin. There's a red line and a small drawing of some scissors, indicating that I've cut that trace.

Another photo of the PCB. The chip has been reattached, and a brown wire has been soldered between two of the pins, pulling it high to positive voltage, instead of low to ground.

dj505 @5panel.dance · 18/10/2025

We have some games at work with bad steering potentiometeers. The old ones are discontinued, and the output range on the new model is backwards, which means the steering is also backwards. Turns out, they're not real potentiometers. They're hall effect sensors in disguise. How do you fix this...?

Two potentiometers from a Raw Thrills "Snowboarder" game. The one on the left is new. The one on the right is also new, but has been cracked open, and the parts are laying on the table. There's a small circuit board with a magnet sensing chip, a green insulating plastic piece, and a magnet.
