This week I have got the prototype circuits of Toasty Boy rev.2 by PCBWay. PCBWay kindly decided to sponsor my project and provided PCBAs for free.

I hope to test these circuit boards in the coming weeks. An issue that I hope to have solved is that in some cases the DC-DC boost converters of Toasty Boy rev.1 would be unbalanced. One of the modules would provide 20% of the current and the other 80% resulting in uneven heat load.

Toasty Boy will in combination with a LiPo battery will power the Raspberry Pi camera that will film the onboard video.
