Ozeki DC-DC Converter

The Ozeki DC-DC Converter is for supplying data and extra power to Ozeki Modules. It is an open source board, with all the files needed for manufacturing. You may also freely modify the design. You can connect it to your unique Ozeki Matrix as seen in the video below.

It also has a terminal connector output which can power extra devices like motors. Motors consume more energy. In the video below you will see servo motors powered by . We used an Ozeki Servo Module to control the motors.

The input of the can vary from 6 to 30V and the integrated LM2596 converter IC transforms it to 5V. There are 2 options to input extra power to the modules: through a DC plug and through the terminal connector with 2 poles. This extra power is used for devices with high power requirement for example 5V motors. Data is transfered through the micro USB port. For an output it has a terminal connection with 4 holes from left to right: 5V, GND, GND, DC outlet(input voltage). You can connect extra devices to these poles. It also has a 5V USB output. This is important for supplying power to all of the Ozeki Modules connected to eachother. The also contains a 5A resettable fuse for protecting every device connected to the module, including the module itself.
