More good news for BVM owners, the awesome @skumlos has released his reproduction "Z" board for Evergreen chassis BVM's
this is a service tool that allows you to probe the cards on a running BVM - if you've ever seen the waveforms in the manual and thought "how do I probe for that in a BVM while it's running?" - this is how.
It should plug straight in for the E and BC boards. The BK board will also need some extension cables which look like JST XR to me, I'll take a closer look and post about that in a bit
Details on Martins GitHub here
https://github.com/skumlos/bvm-a-card-breakout
Basically it does this
and it looks like this
from the readme the BOM is
2 x JAE TX25-100P-LT-H1E
2 x JAE TX24-100R-LT-H1E
When I was just getting started out I found the whole KICAD -> Manufacturing thing a bit hard (although v6 makes it much easier) so just in case I've attached the Gerbers too.
It should plug straight in for the E and BC boards. The BK board will also need some extension cables which look like JST XH(?) to me, I'll take a closer look and post about that in a bit.
