Mazda 13B Smart Rotor Assembly
Notice: Please familiarize yourself with the assembly procedure before attempting. If you are
unsure of your ability to assemble and solder an electronic circuit or program an Arduino, please
seek out somebody that can assist you.
These circuits are designed by an amature (me), so they might be troublesome or results may vary
between different assemblies. These circuits have been tested for days at a time and have proven to
be stable. But the wireless power circuit inherently produces heat as a by product and could produce
significant heat if not properly assembled and tested. Never leave this circuit powered while
unattended.

Programing Arduinos
Both arduinos will need to be programmed. Make sure you have the most current code downloaded. You
will need to download the Arduino IDE and had and install the drivers for the ATTINY85 Arduino boards. A complete
tutorial on how to do this can be found here.
http://digistump.com/wiki/digispark/tutorials/connecting
Upload the sample test code from the the tutorial to make sure the board is functioning properly.
Winding Rx and Tx coils
The winding of the Rx and Tx coils if probably the hardest part of this model. Go slow and make sure the magnet wire is
properly inplace before glueing.
