Electron Ultra
November 2025 - 'Electron Ultra' is the new name for my Electron Clone. I was never happy calling it a clone as it's not an exact copy or replica. It's more an amalgamation of my favourite Electron add-ons in an attempt to make it more reliable and compact.
This final version adds the PiTubeDirect interface to the main PCB. It wasn't easy to find space for the additional parts but I managed to squeeze it all in just beside cartridge slot 6/7.
So the Electron Ultra board now looks like this:
I've coloured an overlay to show each add-on:
Since the case was designed there's been quite a few additions to the Ultra's PCB so it's time to update it with a refresh of the labelling.
The three PCB designs will soon be sent off for manufacture...
