The last time I dealt with this stupid headlight, I made things work with some
ridiculous construction techniques. Well, those construction techniques finally
made something die. I still had a full set of parts, and the schematics in an
EDA tool, so I laid out a PCB to try again with more reasonable construction
techniques. The schematics and layout are in their own git repo. The tools were
gschem and pcb from the gEDA project. Somebody told me to look at oshpark
for the fabrication, and 3 copies of my board cost me $4. Deal. The fabbed
boards look nice:
And assembly wasn't a giant pain:
If this breaks for some reason, I really should just buy another light.
