1
Procurement & Preparation
- Source and inspect all required electronic components including the MCP73831T-2ACI_OT battery charger IC, ATTINY1616-MFR microcontroller, EC11E15204A3 rotary encoder, AO3400 N-channel MOSFET, and BXEN-30E-11M-3A-00-0-0 high-CRI LED array, alongside a standard 18650 Li-Ion cell and a USB-C receptacle board.
- Prepare the workstation by organizing ESD-safe mats, configuring the soldering iron temperature to 350°C, and preparing lead-free solder wire with flux.
2
Hardware Assembly & Wiring
- Solder the Microchip MCP73831 charging IC, support capacitors, and the USB-C power input circuit onto the designated power management section of the main PCB, connecting VBAT, GND, and the regulated 3.3V power rails.
- Mount and solder the Microchip ATtiny1616 MCU and the ALPS EC11 rotary encoder onto the PCB, establishing the GPIO connections for ENC_A, ENC_B, ENC_SW, and system GND.
- Install the AO3400 N-Channel Power MOSFET acting as the LED driver switch, wiring its gate to the MCU's PWM output signal, its drain to the LED array cathode, and its source to system GND.
- Secure the 18650 Li-Ion battery holder to the chassis, connect its positive terminal to the MCP73831 output and negative to GND, and assemble the final mechanical housing around the lamp assembly.
3
Firmware Setup
- Connect an UPDI programmer (such as MPLAB Snap or a custom USB-UPDI adapter) to the ATtiny1616 programming pads on the assembled PCB.
- Compile and flash the firmware onto the ATtiny1616 using Microchip Studio or Arduino IDE, configuring the internal timer/counter peripherals to generate PWM signals based on quadrature decoding of the EC11 rotary encoder inputs.
4
Testing & Calibration
- Connect a USB-C power source to the lamp and verify that the MCP73831 properly charges the 18650 battery, monitoring the charge status indicator LED.
- Test the analog knob interface by rotating the EC11 encoder clockwise and counter-clockwise to verify smooth step-less dimming control, and press the push-button switch to test on/off toggle functionality.

System Architecture
Power Topology: USB-C input (5V) powers the Microchip MCP73831 linear charging IC to charge the internal 1S 3.7V Li-Ion battery (18650). A low-dropout regulator (LDO) steps down the battery/USB voltage to 3.3V for the ATtiny1616 MCU and rotary encoder, while the LED array and MOSFET driver operate directly off the raw 3.7V battery/charging rail for optimal efficiency.
