Hi, I've made lite-on Extractor based on many schematics I've found on the internet.

Basically, there are 2 schematic that I used :

-RS-232 to TTL converter with MAX3232 IC and
-DVD Drive Power adapter

I join the two schematic to one board only.


I haven't tested this out but, hopefully somebody will check and make it out.

The Features :
1. DVD Adapter with On/Off Switch (with LED)
2. DVD Ejector
3. Probe-Less DVD Flasher with ON/OFF and READ switch (I've connected 11 and 12 on DVD pins to Max3232, so you need additional 2 wires to connect to the socket)

So I've attached the schematic and PCB board below. I used Cadsoft Eagle to make the schematic and autoroute it.


PARTLIST :

1. Maxim Max3232CPE IC Max3232 Datasheet
2. S1117733PI 3.3V Regulator S1117733PI Regulator
3. 3 X 807/809 6 Pin DPDT  Power Switch (with lock on) and 1 X DPDT Eject Switch 6 Pin DPDT Switch
4. PC Disk Drive Molex http://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/sd/015244441_sd.pdf
5. JST-12 Pin Header http://sigma.octopart.com/89418/datasheet/JST-PHDR-12VS.pdf
6. 6 X 0.1uf Capacitor
7. DB9 Female PCB Mount  Connector http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Prototy...ors/DB9-PCB.pdf
8. 1X 5V LED and 1 X 3.3V LED

Here's the schematic

Very nice job making up some schematics.
I made my own extractor by combining a old DVD power kit from Team Xecuter and a premade max3232 board from ebay. I think it is going to end up costing too much to buy all these parts . I understand alot of people get great satisfaction building things like this for themselves but it does seem like your trying to reinvent the wheel here.

Also get a real host. mediafire pissed me off with its pop up ads. Most isp's give you some free webspace.

But your did a really great job documenting your project and it looks like fun to build for anyone so inclined.

Thanks, I am willing to share this design to everyone. And I hope it works.
I've modified a little bit, and I've uploaded it to Rapidshare

Where is the schematic of the dvd drive adapter alone.  I am just looking to make my own DIY kit, then add my homemade probe.  I want to put them both in a project box with onboard memory, and a few other features.

I need the specs of a circuit to power the drive and do mode B.  The eject part is easy.

it is integrated there.

actually I just follow the one that i found in this :

Hmmm...
Nice Schematic.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You only need pin6 3.3v. (all drives)
Ejeckt pin3 needs only GND, (OFF/ON swhits all drives)
Mode B = Slax or jungle, no 3.3v is needed.

First of all, thank you for the link.  I was not surprised to see RDC behind it.

I have been using yaywoops probe with my diy kit, and it works well.  I have also sold several probes to people.  After all this, I have been wanting to build a connectivity kit and probe in one, on one board, and put it in a box.  SO your thread has really gotten me where i need to be.  I know it may be alil hard to follow, but I have incorporated the idea of the diy kit and RDC's guide, and yaywoop's guide to come up with this design.  I am tired of having several small loose ports for connecting.  I want it all in one easy box.
It will go in a Radio Shack project box, and probably cost under $20.  I am also going to add more features for myself, but I will go over that later.  For now, my design is set up for the following.

Plugs in to 4 pin molex and Com port.
Onbox features-
Powers 360 DVD drive w/ on off feature and power led DPST
Allows mode B with a light for each mode DPDT
Allows for eject with led DPDT
3.5mm stereo jack serves as plug/port for Probe
*3.5mm jack also has ground access which can be combined with alligator clip for ground if needed

(IMG:http://i515.photobucket.com/albums/t357/pcpimpx/CON_KIT_DIY.jpg)

Area 1 in light yellow is Yaywoops probe, 1a is where the com connects, 1b is a stereo jack for the probe
2 is Eject
3 is Mode B
4 is Power
5 is the 6 pin connector for my led's-5 led Anodes, and a ground
6 and all dark green areas are wired to a 10 pin connector that will be adapted to my dvd drive cable
7 is the connection internally to the 4 pin molex.

* I plan to run 3.3V to the center line of the 3.5mm jack, allowing me to make a second cable for testing led's for other projects I do.  I also plan to include an onboard USB memory stick, hard wired, and a USB slot, making a work station USB dock.  I may also make this a doal USB port, wiring the second up for power only, allowing me to use it as a USB charging port.

I will be purchasing the equipment to do some PCB's for this and other projects.  If anyone is interested in something like this, something custom, let me know.

I have the image saved in photoshop, so if someone wants a copy of my schematics, let me know as well.  I have done all the work using parts from mouser, from the parts' data sheets.

[dakota76]

Hey i wouldnt mind the schematics and a parts list

[xrkahn76]

Ok, here is the board I am going to make.  I can probably fit 3 or 4 on one blank board, so if anyone wants one.  It was designed using the specs from the parts listed below.

(IMG:http://i515.photobucket.com/albums/t357/pcpimpx/KAHN_CON2.jpg)

lower case a through e need to be jumper with wires.  This board takes a 4 line(4 pin molex) power(J2) and pins 2 and 5 from the com port(J2) from the PC.  It has a Power(SW1), eject(SW3) and mode B(SW2) switch.  Port 1 is a 3.5mm stereo jack that I have wired up a probe and optional ground for.  J3 is for the DVD power cable.  J4 is for the leds in the box.  Using a 3.3v regulator and 2 0.1uF caps for 3.3v power, and an NPN transistor with  1K and 10K ohm resistors for the probe.

Parts from mouser (* used specs for board)

J1  2 pin header to Serial port Rx and Ground
J2  4 pin header from 4 pin molex
J3  10 pin header adapts to 12 pin to dvd drive
J4  6 pin header to led array, 1 power, 2 for eject, 2 for mode b
Sw1 SPDT or DPDT  (*612-PBH2UEEK) this one is used on board
Sw2 DPDT   (612-TL2285EE) this is a vertical DPDT, latching pushbutton type, caps below
Sw3 DPDT  (612-TL2285EE)
Port1 3.5mm Stereo port   (*806-STX-3000 )
C1  0.1uF cap (*81-RPER71H104K2P1A03
C2                   (*81-RPER71H104K2P1A03 )
Reg 3.3V Regulator   (*595-UA78M33CKCS)
NPN   (*512-BC547BTF) used for probe
r1     used for power on/off led w/ 5v (299-x-RC)
r2    used for mode B led w/ 3.3v 1/8w 5% carbon film res where x= res value
r3    used for normal mode led w/ 3.3v (291-x-RC)
r4    used for eject LED w/ 3.3 v1/4W 5% carbon film res where x= res value
r5   used for closed led w/ 3.3v
r6   used for probe w/ 5v  1K Ohms  (291-1K-RC)
r7    used on probe line to probe 10K Ohms  (291-10K-RC)
r8   1 Ohm (optional for 3.3V on Probe port)  (291-1-RC)

Button caps for vertical DPDT 612-TL2285EE  (612-1C-BK)
3.5mm stereo jack for probe and ground if needed. (*17PP004-EX)

The board is was designed to fit in a radio shack project box 2" deep and 6" on one side

Hope this helps

It´s my design.
The PCB and SP232 (maxim232) is from old trash electronics.
The DVD drive cable is from old Xbox. (Game port cable)
I used adj. regulator LM317T to make 3.3V from 5V line. (Molex for 12V and 5V and GND)
Some hot glue…

I left the unnecessary voltages and leds and other Hi-Fi stuff away.

The Schematics are in my head. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

My CK kit design is working for all drives except Hitachi.

Can you give me explaination how to power up hitachi ? and also ModeB switch?

My design :

Pin 3 is at floating state, grounding momentarily  it will eject the tray, and holding it will pull the tray in.

Pin 4 is not connected

Pin 6 is connected to 3.3 V



It is not working on Hitachi...any help? Hitachi won't power up, and no eject.

Must I put 3.3V to Pin 3 for All Drives?

Any help would be appreciated.

[xrkahn76]

The 4 pin needs to be on a SPDT switch with 3.3V on one end and Ground on the other.  It is treated just like pin 3 where Ground is Eject on 3, it is mode B on 4.  YOu can also use a DPDT switch as a mode indicator.
3.3V would be on the main leg and each led would be on the other 2 legs.
