Digital Data Port Logics – D-DPL

Estimated reading time: 1 min

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 

Available at shop.printed-droid.com

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.
