PCB - 3D Startrek Enterprise

Description

Animated version:
- 10x10 cm of PCB board
- Attiny85 to individual control 20 LED with charlieplexing
- 40 LED total
- sound output (not working in this version, bug on PCB)
- AAA battery in stand for power
- full 3D construction
- it can not fly :-(

Simplified version:
- without MCU, chip crisis resistant
- ideal as solder learning toy

Details

BOM (this is my crazy configuration, you can use 0805 or 0603 LEDS):

MAIN BOARD
- 1x Attiny 85
- 4x Spring battery holder BCL82PC (KEYSTONE)
- 4x 47R 0603
- 1x 100n 0603
- 1x mode switch PTS810SJG250SMTRLF (C&K)
- speaker not working now, do not solder
PLASMA COILS
- 10x 3014 blue LED on coil
(3014 LED is very hard to solder without hot air gun, you can use 0805)
- 2x 0802 red LED on front - this is side LED
- 2x 0802 yellow LED on tail - this is side LED
DEFLECTOR
- 6x 0603 blue led
MIDDLE BOARD
- 4x 0802 red LED, 2 on tail, 2 under plate - this is side LED
(do not mix, use same color)
PLATE
- 1x clear white LED 8mm as bridge
- 6x 3014 white LED
(3014 LED is very hard to solder without hot air gun, you can use 0805)
- 1x 0805 pink LED, above NCC - 1701 text, soldered on side
- 4x 0805 white LED, under bridge, soldered on side
- 1x 4014 green LED as laser

Just LED and resistors :)
With power, very nice desktop lamp

To easy setup firmware I created simple batch to set fuses and upload code for Attiny85

just run enterprise_upload.bat

avrdude -C ./avrdude.conf -v -p attiny85 -c usbasp -P usb -e
avrdude -C ./avrdude.conf -v -p attiny85 -c usbasp -P usb -U lfuse:w:0xc2:m -U hfuse:w:0xdf:m -U efuse:w:0xfe:m

NOTE:
- you ordering 10pcs ... chose white boards!
- YOU RECEIVE 10-12pcs USS enterprise it is small army ;)
- 10 space ships with one order !!!
- http://dirtypcbs.com/store/designer/details/bobricius/6291/enterprise-zip
- assembly by pictures
- you can use leds as you want
Soldering completed

lets go to make some blinky software ;)
Boards ordered
bobricius • 12/10/2018 at 21:26 • 2 comments

maybe it is big fail and lost, but I am very exited and I can not wait longer and I can not focus on longer development. Maybe I mixed 2-3 blueprints or more spaceships, I am not Startrek expert, just watcher.
There is lot of space for improvements ....

Any change of releasing gerbers for people in countries that cannot order (or is way too expensive) from dirtypcb? Would really appreciate it. Great project!

Are you sure? yes | no

Gerben wrote 05/16/2025 at 11:55

The dirtypcb links seems to be for the old version. The schematic and board file for the new PCB are in the files section.

Are you sure? yes | no

Zef wrote 05/18/2025 at 05:27

Yes, but I can't generate gerber files from them can I? EDIT: Actually I've tried importing the .brd file to Kicad but I can't get it to generate gerber files that include the cutouts. It doesn't seem to import very well and I don't understand the "mapping" Kicad asks me to do. The automapping feature doesn't seem to grab everything it needs. If anyone is able generate proper gerber files for this project I would love to know how to do it.

Are you sure? yes | no

Andrea wrote 06/20/2020 at 20:06

Does anyone have spare pcb's left over? I don't really see the point of ordering 10 pieces for $40 including shipping. I'm willing to pay $10 + enveloppe shipping for just a single pcb.

Are you sure? yes | no

Daniel wrote 11/13/2019 at 07:32

Great project! I also ordered the boards. Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem with the hex file which I have downloaded here. In the video you should see the problem: https://youtu.be/bO3Jmj0WaZk
Is there another version?

Are you sure? yes | no

bobricius wrote 11/13/2019 at 07:54

Hi, sorry for troubles, I no add assembly instructions, I am very bad in writing manual.

it is look like your battery board is reversed, just solder battery base board with readable logo to you, chcek my pictures.

PS: great job, nice to see my project replication.

Are you sure? yes | no

Thank you for your reply. Now I see it. Then I have to turn that :) Thank you!

I used your list. It turned out great~! I ordered a pack of pink LEDs from ebay.

Are you sure? yes | no

Eric Chapin wrote 10/20/2019 at 05:48

The BRD file seems to be missing outline information, which makes it impossible to generate gerber. I wanted to send the files to different PCB fab (have issues with Dirty PCB) and I wanted a few in different mask color for making them into Christmas ornament including red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and white.

Are you sure? yes | no

bobricius wrote 10/21/2019 at 18:55

you can order from my dirtypcbs store and select another color

Are you sure? yes | no

I am interesting for a easy solder version without programming MCU.

Can anyone send me a programmed ATTiny 85 for money ?

Are you sure? yes | no

bobricius wrote 09/25/2019 at 21:50

I put in files compiled HEX + uploader for easy setup. I created item in my store https://www.tindie.com/products/4997/

Are you sure? yes | no

Falk Brunner wrote 09/17/2019 at 17:21

Could you please provide a BOM and an assembly plan. (Yes, I could figure it out by reverese engineering, but this is not the way it's meant to be, isn't ist?) This takes 5 minutes in eagle. I already ordered from dirty PCBs! Great project, nice design!

Are you sure? yes | no

thekat858 wrote 09/16/2019 at 02:34

This looked like a cool project, but as it turns out, $38 is bit too steep for me for 10 PCBs.

My original order was about $20, but I was informed by Dirty PCBs that the product was oversized. The product price doubled and shipping quadrupled. (FYI - It will cost you $0.50 to get a PayPal refund.)

Are you sure? yes | no

bobricius wrote 09/16/2019 at 04:23

sorry, I need pay bills and buy food for my kids. I get 9$ from order. Dirty pcb have very bad shop interface.

Are you sure? yes | no

Noxmiles wrote 09/05/2019 at 16:24

Is there a part list anywhere? "assembly by pictures, you can use leds as you want" is a bit tricky when you only have these pictures to order the stuff.

Are you sure? yes | no

bobricius wrote 09/05/2019 at 18:20

I create part list.

Are you sure? yes | no

tbnobody wrote 09/05/2019 at 13:48

Do you also provide a BOM or schematic? Without that it's quite difficult to find all parts.

Are you sure? yes | no

Thanks for you reply. Can i get r gerber files or drawing than i can send to a local pcb manufacturer？I did not find a way to download from dirtypcb.com.
