Mattia Dal BenEasier to solder receiver.
By popular demand (kinda), I developed a new receiver for the Redox codename Ultron project.
I thought this was needed because the Mitosis receiver is pretty hard to solder (I'm looking at you 1206 4.7k resistor array) and components are hard to find (at least at reasonable prices here in Europe. Stupid sexy Digikey international shipping fee).
I then designed a receiver that uses only standard 0805 components, easy to solder and whose components can be easily found on eBay.
Here's the PCB I manufactured. Unfortunately the font wasn't really readable so I improved this in the v.2.0 of the receiver which is the one I got the rendering from.
Unfortunately I did not receive the MCUs yet so I had to improvise to test if everything is working.
As always all the files and instructions are freely available at the Redox project repository.
Cheers!

How hard would it be to convert this to using 2x21700/18650s so it can use backlights as well? Maybe using wireless charging so when you put them away after you are finished, it charges back up for the next day?
Are you sure? yes | no
I am super excited about this project and really hope it comes to fruition! This is pretty much my dream keeb.
