BACK TO THE FUTURE WE go with THIS FLUX CAPACITOR PCB BADGE

[Arnov] is a significant fan of the Back to the Future franchise, so he desired some memorabilia from the movie to embellish his work area. official memorabilia from successful movie franchises can be quite expensive, so [Arnov] opted to make something himself instead, producing his own flux capacitor PCB badge.

Fortunately, [Arnov’s] style isn’t as challenging as Doc’s was from the movie (pictured on the right), so it should be a great deal easier to replicate. We have a simple LED circuit driven by an 8205S MOSFET as well as managed by an ATtiny microcontroller. There’s a little diode for auto-switching between USB as well as battery power in addition to a few present limiting resistors for the LEDs. Fortunately, [Arnov’s] job only needs 0.017 W to power, so no plutonium nuclear reactor is necessary as well as you can quickly power it with a common coin cell battery or with a USB. That’s rather a relief.

As with many of [Arnov’s] projects, the beauty in its style lies in the detail he locations on the PCB layout. In this case, the design is a bit easier than a few of his other work needing only to arrange the blinking LEDs in a “Y” shape to mirror the flux capacitor seen in the movies. He likewise adds a bit of detail to the silkscreen to assist total the aesthetic.

We believe this is worth contributing to your PCB badge collection.
