Paper prototypes
04/30/2019 at 04:57 • 0 commentsBefore ordering the boards from OSHPark I wanted to do some "fit testing" with a paper prototype (basically just a printout of the board render in 1:1 scale and cut out with an x-acto knife). Here are some pictures of it in different kinds of battery holders:
AA holder of a wiimote:
AAA Holder in a Pokemon Mini console:
This one really shows the usefulness of the flexible pcb, as the battery terminal is recessed into the plastic, so the board needs to bend to reach, here is a picture of the console without the battery:
It will also even work for many button cell holders!:
