Assembly notes

Vref pin on Arduino Pro Mini breakout board is not on any pin, solder a wire to capacitor between pins 12 and 13. To the pin13 end.

Manufactured PCBs have a defect, bridge these tracks see manufactured-pcb-defect.png

Notes

  • The final PCB layout that I ordered from https://jlcpcb.com/ is not great. This is my almost first attempt to really use two sides with a lot of vias. Maybe next time use the lower side for horizontal signal traces and the top side for vertical?

  • Maybe replace 2.5V ref to MCU with feeding the whole MCU from 2.5V ref, it eliminates the extra wire.

  • Next time make use wider ribbon cable - use more LEDs on the front panel to indicate the current mode and state

  • Update the firmware to include trickle charge, it's especially noticeable when charging to the 3.8V for storage, once charging power is removed - voltage drops.
