I was looking at the CBI Bezel, thinking about the big hole. I don't want to charge R2 via a lead for the 12v battery, I intend to take it out to charge, but the 5v in the dome and the one in the body would be easier to charge internally. So I had a bit of a ponder and decided to use 2 USB adaptor ports in the lower door to allow the 5v batteries to be charged, and use another in the CBI port to allow a phone or other USB device to be charged or powered from R2. I may add a holder somewhere eventually too. :)
I think the lower one needs some details round the edges or sommat, i tried to mount them like the CBI but the alu had distorted and it looked really odd. But its functional and fills the door nicely.
Then i did the CBI board, all blue LEDs and White for the side ones. Need to do the leads and test it, but trust the force. ;) Should be ok.
I actually decided to bolt the top USB in place. I dont like glue. :) Then i also bolted the pan and CBI board together with a single bolt.
Liking the USB sockets idea! Could you not mount a 'false' front over the lower sockets, to give the same effect as the CBI one??? Just a thought mate :)
ReplyDeleteThanks dude, i like the functionality, but would be nice if it looked more like the other doors. Good plan. Will give it a try. Thanks dude.
