roubi Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hi, Here is my DIY BDS. It has 5 switches which are wired like this : 1) Master switch : activate all the other switches + voltage/current display + back usb output (to charge tablet/phone for wingman) 2) one Hirose for recorder 3) two Hirose for wireless mic and IFB 4) One hirose + one DC jack for video monitors and other stuff 5) One USB output (for a small light or a fan : I live in west Africa) It has 2 inputs : -1 hirose -1 dc jack I am mainly using modded Talentcell battery, so I can use and charge the battery at the same time. The voltage is regulated at 12V. Each output is protected by a fuse so as the master. Each USB is capable of delivering 5V/3A. Each switch has a led to see if it’s on or off. The case has been (badly…) 3D printed in PETG. It works very well. A little big but works well ! The power consumption display is really usefulll ! Side notes Power consumption tests of the recorders I have, with all channels activated (mic level for all and one with phantom power) with nothing plugged in : 1) Zoom F4 : 0,25A 2) SD 702T : 0,72A 3) SD Mixer-10T : 0,65A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent R. Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Now I want spaghetti for dinner 😁 I'm joking, good job, I did similar but used a PCB to get rid of the cable mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roubi Posted February 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Yeah, I should learn how to make my PCB : you can do it with a laser printer and a few chemical stuff easily found in Europe but not where I am now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just use a universal board, that's what I mean. and use small coper/metal wire to make bridges. a blob of solder will do the trick too. or get one like the second picture, with joint holes. this is actually a better example of what i used: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
