I do not have an LED tool -- my board came from someone else who had already
done that part.

I just wanted to comment that the voltage regulator and bridge rectifier
run quite hot. If you choose to put it in an enclosed frame, consider a 
TO-3 regulator and screw-mount bridge recifier on an aluminum back-plate.

Spare Time Gizmos Life game LED tool

2015-10-05 Thread dave


I've acquired an unpopulated board for a Spare Time Gizmos Life game. 
Does anyone here who've made one still have an LED tool you don't need 
that you can pass along.  How about a design file for making one myself? 
I tried asking this on the Spare Time Gizmos list and nobody replied.
