A prototype PCB to test a battery changer circuit. I ended up using a switching circuit instead since this one produced a lot of heat.

Tried to add a cylindrical dust collector with the intake on the side. This caused turbolence and the suction went down to almost 0.

I accidentally used the variable voltage version of the voltage regulator so I had to set the voltage by soldering some resistors directly to the pins.

Two MotorECU PCBs with mounted DC motors. This is the second version and a lot of imprements have been done on it since then, like a different DC motor, a better motor driver etc.

Experimenting with a switch as a speed sensor for the wheel module. It wasn't used since the existing solution by a hall effect sensor is superior because it can be mounted directly on the PCB.
