TK. Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Hi Pearl,yes, you have to solder all power pins, in most cases they are not connected together (unfortunately!). I will send the PCB to Mike next week when he is back from vacation.Note for people outside germany: the PCB can also be ordered from SmashTV from the US for about US $7 (Tim: please correct me if I'm wrong)! He made the PCB layout and only his board will have the DIY friendly laser print (the part names and outlines are printed at the top side)Best Regards, Thorsten.

pay_c Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Another question from my side about the drivers: Just read the imperfections on ucapps.de.Will there be a chance for a driver update someday? Especially the multiclient thing is not so good for me...btw: :o wow! Very compact design!! SmashTV DID do some good job there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if somebody has experiences in writing an own USB driver for the OS site, he is welcome for doing this!Best Regards, Thorsten.

All inclusive it costs me $6.91 to do this board, so if I price it at $7 and ruin one board in the process, I have to make/sell 77 more boards to cover the cost of that one bad board!At $8 per board I can afford to scrap one board for every 7 that ship, (which is my average right now! ;) ) and that dog will hunt. 8)That one is the most expensive, all of the others will sell for $6-$7.SmashTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smashtv Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 BTW I am working on a layout for the mini-USB right now, so if the mini is all you need, wait on that layout.Have Fun!Smash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
