CommBatt S.P.A.R (Standalone Portable Analysis Rig) MOD ONLY – Assembled

Recently we posted a blog article on modifying Kaisi Test Fixtures.

Shortly after posting the article we received a number of messages from people requesting we perform the modification for them.

The project was really just a sneak peak into what is to come. It was never intended to be anything more than an unsophisticated hack. While it mostly consisted of soldering some wires, drilling some holes, and glue, there’s a fair bit of time involved in the process, and the outcome is a fairly functional, but fairly ugly unit.

We didn’t feel right offering the process as a service. The reality is, we wouldn’t want to pay someone for the time involved for a hack job.

Due to the volume of requests we had, we decided to throw a kit together with a PCB to replace those ugly wires. The PCB/kit provides a little bit more functionality than the original project, looks a lot prettier, and can be used as a standalone unit.

The PCB is designed with the following:

• Genuine FTDI FT232RQ USB to UART IC
• ATmega328PB AVR
• TP4056 (for Charging)
• FDMS769 (for Discharging)

This PCB contains everything required to modify a Kaisi Test Fixture.

This PCB comes fully assembled, but is available as a DIY Kit, and with the Battery Terminals/7 Segment displays, for use as a Standalone Unit.

Please Note: The Assembly does not include installing the mod to a Kaisi Test Fixture. However, the process is very simple, and we are happy to do so for free if you send the fixture to us. Please let us know in the order notes if you are sending your fixture to have the mod installed, and we will delay your order until we receive it.

 

PREORDER NOTE: Preorders will be shipped by 24th of October 2018, and will only be available for a limited amount of time
