Anyone recognize the electronics found inside the Boston bombs?
I design electronics for a living, so these boards caught my attention.
The green board has some round corner notches. (Those are to avoid the screw posts in a rectangular enclosure.)
While not exactly unusual, they ARE distinctive.
I'm guessing they are some kind of remote control electronics from a place like ebay, especially since the battery used:
The green pcb looks similar, but not exactly like an E-flite Blade CP (RC helicopter)- so I'm guessing it's a different model from E-flite.
Google Image Search for Blade CP pcb
Tenergy isn’t a typical “eBay” cheap-o battery. I have purchased them myself from a legit battery outfit.
But not saying it couldn’t come from eBay... just not one of the more typical brands from there
curmudgeons gonna curmudge
They appear to me to be related to those electronic cooking timers that you can get complete with battery at any housewares department in any 5&10 store, Wal-Mart, drug stores, etc....
standing by ... keep me updated please.
They probably want us to know they have the PCBs, but they don’t want to reveal what’s on them. They only want so much “help” from us guys.
I agree. FR is sleek and streamlined. I like it! :-)
Some boards have a different color on the solderside than on the component side.
The jagged edges seem to match well, perhaps this is a case of a board using different colors.
Early reports of “crude device” with the circuitry involved seem to me are dispelled and this was the work of more than some “lone wolf” even though it was locally fabricated.
That's wacist.
Bump.
I saw a video shot of a guy near the door laying down a bag...wonder if it’s him....
Boston law inforcement said breakthrough from video ....right near the second expplosion....person ‘placing bag’ and leaving. Lord and Taylors...image is clearly seen. They are very conficent about this.
Briefing reschedualed for 5:00
lol!
I've also seen blue versions:
So, MAYBE that's it - but I think it is close, but not exactly it.
Pressor at 5:00...they are very confident they have this guy who placed the “second” bomb on film...placing it and leaving...
I have to find the shot I saw this morning...I amthinking it’s the guy.
Hearing report now. Not releasing pictures at this time was also said.
Do you have any pictures of a green notched Syma S107 pc board?
I can’t find any that look like it.
Maybe wrong but almost and am NOT certain pictures or video is not already out there. Could be though. Guess a search is due for picture of suspect.
The second one looks like an RC ESC board.
....Go here for photo of guy laying down bag...I think might be him....scroll down til you see guy stooping in doorway with a bag...
I’m on mobile so I look forward to what you find as i can’t do a lot from here.
