smashtv Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Hey all!The US layout boards are done and shipping now, go to http://mbhp.coinoptech.com/ to order. The new US layouts (in Eagle .brd format) are there also in the "info" section with full parts lists, and a visual quick reference showing what goes where.Only Paypal is accepted now, but other payment forms may be supported in the future. Paypal is available almost everywhere, and makes using your credit card or bank account for foreign currency easy.Thanks for waiting! ;)SmashTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyo Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Great job really.Could you quickly explain the difference with the euro PCB ?Cause I ordered my components and I was waiting for your boards.What parts will not fit ?Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashtv Posted July 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Great job really.Could you quickly explain the difference with the euro PCB ?Cause I ordered my components and I was waiting for your boards.What parts will not fit ?Thx!Really just the smaller capacitors, which usually is not an issue. Some of the caps in the Euro list that have 2mm lead spacing were changed to 5mm so I could run traces between the pins. The US order lists show the lead spacing that fits the US board(s), so you can compare that to what you have.I have built a few of the boards just using caps I have in stock here, and bending the pins out an extra 3mm to fit was no problem.Have fun!Smash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Xcen Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Weeeeeeeeee!You already sent me a core board so I will complete this one before I order a new one... do you have a mouser part list available for the core module? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xcen Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Oh duh just checked the site...wow! Awesome work there :) really worth the while :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference should be lead spacing on the capacitors, so compare my list to the board you have to determine what you need. The part lists on my site list the lead spacing of the caps used on the new layouts, so it should not be an issue.You can also bend the leads on the caps from the new order lists to fit the old board without issue.Have fun!Smash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xcen Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 hmm we seem to have posted at the same time ;)Almost make me wish I'd have the new layout... this flash thing there with the parts is really neat!Awesome work, again :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job on the siteHeya Sephult!I have to say the quality on these is perfect, but I need to wait for a report from those who have already ordered. I'm shipping quite a few today, so if you ask again in a week you will get a non-biased answer. ;)Also many thanks to everyone for the thumbs up reviews of my little MB site, You guys have made my week (and it's only Tuesday!) ;)Have fun!Smash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashtv Posted July 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 SmashTV, you rock. Â I ordered mine on Monday and can't wait to get them.Many thanks for providing this service.Thanks!They shipped out yesterday, so hopefully you will see them before the weekend. I have not been keeping up very well with thank you/confirmation emails on the orders, but my "order status" page details when I ship to those who don't get an email from me. Let me know when they get there!Smash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paypal makes that easy with the money conversion.I should have the Mouser orderlist done for the USB board in the next few days, I'm still trying to find a decent supplier for the USB chip that has more than a handfull in stock.Have fun! ;DSmash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
