Hi Everyone,
I think you might be wondering what’s going on at Phondly.
I sent the prototypes to the testers.
From the beginning, electric LEGO® models have been powered by AA or AAA batteries.
So far we have used alkaline or NiMh batteries, but each type has its drawbacks.
Imagine – you build a cool LEGO® creation and you don’t have to replace dead batteries anymore.
Imagine your creation is stronger, lighter, and the gaming experience does not diminish until the batteries are completely depleted.
This idea is not fiction but a reality, and it’s here.
We’ve made it for you!

New isolator circuit have been built for the I,U,P measuring unit and for other future I2C devices.
It has the standard 2 wire of I2C the 5V DC power supply and one more wire galvanically isolated by two special purpose ICs and an optocoupler.

I have found Adafruit INA219 panel a bit narrow band for my power supply and MIG welder so decided to went for a wider band measurement unit and found INA226 better suite from TI product range.

I have tried to submit an improved Joystick Shield to Sparkfun to see if this design is worth to work with.
The main concept behind this shield is if a DIY minded developer have left without enough IO connections to finalize its gadget then the I2C protocol can help out using as minimum as two wire to do the job for example to a user input device.
Be it electronics, woodworking, metalworking, smart home, LEGO or IT, if I run into an obstacle then custom solutions can come. By redesigning, rethinking, or sometimes just replacing a poorly manufactured or functioning part or mechanism, I will get over the problem. Here I would like to share with you and make my various solutions available to you in case you get into a similar situation.
