New PCBs, now where is my soldering iron...

3/4/2017

So new PCBs arrived this morning, fresh from DirtyPCBs. Obviously they need building and testing before I can say they are awesome (I'll remove the battery from the smoke alarm before turning them on):​

The two designs are the CoreOne and AmpOne. I have some parts, need to order other parts from Mouser. So I shall get right on that.

CoreOne is cramped, having tried to do single sided SMD parts only; this would be better for manufacturing as it would reduce cost and allow wave/jet soldering of the through hole parts. If I ever get any significant quantity manufactured, assuming they will work...

My priority is getting the XMOS chip up and alive and talking with the XMOS development tools, then I would like to try some of their examples for Ethernet and USB. This could get interesting....

Interesting information about PCBs, and the way it should be maintained. Thanks for sharing the blog.
