The Digital Data Port Logics is an enhanced full digital version of the original DPL for Astromechs and has been released 2021.
The main difference to the classic DPL are: It’s full digital 😉
It’s a DPL with more blink blink & much more colors
- Everything on 1 pcb – Arduino, terminals for power and voltage sensor are integrated in the DPL – even added I2C & serial breakout
- Full digital
- Terminals for the other Printed Droid Body Lights (CSL & LDPL)
- Better tracing
- Improved LED alignment

The attached STLs are for a modified frame (fits to regular also) and clear lenses (best result if printed in resin).
Turning Panels on/off via magnet:
To make DPL and CBI turn on and off depending on whether the panel is open, Printingbuddy uploaded STLs to Makerworld to trigger a reed switch using a magnet.
The magnet is mounted on the servo horn, and when it approaches the switch, the light of the respective board turns off.
