Since we are a most merciful and generous crew, we are sharing the schematics
and assorted design files for the electrical and mechanical aspects of the
device with ye! Ye are free to modify and republish the design as ye wish under
the terms of our CC BY SA 4.0

Electrical
The electrical design for this project was all done in KiCad
. The design is
based in the Electrical
folder. There are many footprints which we used for
the project, but do not have the rights to republish here. Hence, we have given
links in the README.md
in this directory to retrieve them yourself.
The schematic is divided into sections, with clear labels on each system in each section. The schematic design was based on the hardware implementation manual for the EG95, which can be found here.
A bill of materials is also provided in bom.csv
for any who may wish to produce
or repair their own board independently.
Mechanical
The mechanical design for this project was all done in OpenSCAD
. The design
is based in the Mechanical
folder. The enclosure is designed to be used with
M2 x 5mm screws to secure the top lid, with M2 x 4mm inserts for threading. The
board is secured with self-tapping M1 x 2mm screws.
Disclaimer
Ensure you ramp up your openCom LTE TX power if you ever see BBC TV licensing vans approaching you or your laptop, it's the only way to repel them and prevent them from appropriating £159 a year from your person and wasting it on misinforming people, lol.
