Cylinder LED Carrier
Passive three-channel LED carrier prototype for the Cylinder LED Controller: 35 ×120 mm target, six separate conductors to external 675–680 nm LED stars, downward optics and separate metal heat spreader in a 50 mm bore model-aircraft housing. Mechanical and daylight-visibility validation pending.

I’ve created the separate LED-carrier project and settled on a compact medium-beam lens candidate. I also found that the controller’s generic inductor footprints weren’t suitable for the power stages, so I’m replacing them with real power-inductor packages before placement.

"Cylinder LED Controller" completed.

I updated the prototype floorplan for your 50 mm-diameter × 127 mm-long cylinder and created the separate LED-carrier project.
- Controller: the existing 47-component schematic remains the starting point. I identified unsuitable generic power-inductor footprints and started correcting them, but couldn’t verify the saved result.
- LED carrier: I started its schematic and placement build; no completed result was available before execution stopped.
- Optics: the provisional candidate is Carclo 10195, approximately 20 mm diameter × 9.9 mm high. Compatibility with your exact LEDs and daylight visibility at 150 ft remain unverified.
Neither PCB is confirmed placed, routed, or manufacturing-ready. Next work is to finish the inductor corrections, complete both placements, and check battery clearance and the separate metal LED heat-spreader arrangement before routing.
Execution stopped because your ACUs ran out.
"PCB Carrier Build" completed.

The LED-carrier build has now reported completion, but I couldn’t inspect its saved result, so I’m not yet confirming it as verified or manufacturing-ready. No additional project changes were made this turn.
Remaining work is to review the LED carrier, confirm the controller’s inductor corrections, and check battery, lens, and heatsink clearance before finishing layout and routing.
Execution stopped because your ACUs ran out.
