Pacemaker device finally upgraded with a SD card

IMG_20190819_192629

This time while upgrading the Pacemaker device it was a success. Its a strange combination because I got a Micro SD stuck in a SD card which is stuck in a Compact Flash card which is connected to the Pacemaker device with a tight Zif cable.

Its not so tight as when I had the 1.8inch SSD but the zif cable is still not in the best position it could be if it was shorter, as I noted on my original pacemaker device.

Next stop is to upgrade that battery. I’m thinking about a larger flat battery which can lay on top of the compact flash holder?

  1. I have been travelling again; and when I travel I can’t help but get the Pacemaker device out.

I threw together this mix while on a delayed plane to Guernsey for a wedding over the bank holiday weekend.

  2. Thanks to our excellent lab technician Elizabeth. I bought a 3.7v battery to replace the one in my 2nd pacemaker. I previously had replaced the 1.8 inch SSD with a SD card, so knew there was more room in the pacemaker case.
    I had hoped to buy a very thin battery which I could slip under the SD card but I couldn’t find one with a higher capacity than 500mAh. Instead I looked for the highest capacity I could get which fit into the same battery space. I found a few 1100mAh batteries but then finally found one which was 1500mAh and the same voltage.

    I unfortunately couldn’t didn’t quite get the right size, I was about 1-2mm’s off in height. The only way to make it fit was to remove the brackets which protected the old SSD/HD from the battery. As there was no drive anymore I decided its ok to remove them. With them gone, I could shift the battery over a bit and fit it in.

    With some great soldering from Elizabeth, I was able to get everything back in the case and screw the whole thing together.
    Looking forward to doing similar with my main pacemaker device, maybe?
