# Extracticon!

* Turns on your extraction automatically when you use an attached tool,
* Cheap to build,
* 1 sided PCB easy to home fab,
* Rated at 1.8KW Max,
* Thermal cutout.

# Electronics BOM

[BOM](bom.txt)

* Parts missing from the BOM are standard resistors and LEDs.
* Ensure caps are at least 6V, preferable 12V.

# Case

* [Case BOM & Build notes](build_notes.md)
* [DXF for laser cutting](case.dxf)

# Code

[Arduino code for ATTiny45](extracticon_tiny/)

# Testing

* Circuit board is rated for 1.8KW Max.
* Current capacity can be increased by adding solder to the traces.
* We tested 2KW for 30 minutes.

This thermal picture shows maximum of 50C so internal thermal cutout set to 60C.

# References

* [This calculator](http://circuitcalculator.com/wordpress/2006/01/31/pcb-trace-width-calculator/) was used to calculate that with 5mm traces we can switch 7.7A or 1.8KW at 240VAC.
