jeb Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 hello,it would be good if we could do a (single side) PCB for AIN that usesa 2*16 pin header instead of 1*32, so we could use a standardIDE (hard disk) 40 pins ribbon cable ! instead of soldering the ribbon cable on the AIN !smashtv pcb provides 4* small 2*5 pin headers ! it would be better with a single 2*32 header !has somebody tried yet ?or better (my dream, lol) would be to do single side PCB for 2 * AIN4so a single PCB for the 64 pots, with two connectors 2*16.so we could connect the 64 pots with 2 IDE hard disk cable !if somebody has an Eagle file, it would be great !thanks in advance, joeb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pay_c Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Adapting the Eagle file to your needs is really not to hard, I did that, too. Just download the boards you need from ucapps.de, load them into Eagle and copy all stuff to one board. From there on you only have to connect all the supply lines (5V, GND and signal lines) correspondingly and start wiring up everything.It´s a work of quite some hours to do bigger projects, but normally it´s worth it.The only point is that perhaps some people did that, but it´s always a highly project-specific solution, so *normally* you will not be able to use it straight-forward.Just as an suggestion. Greetz! :)PS: Nope, I did *not* connect IDE cables as I only had to bring the signals to the board in the end (pots, encs, AINs, DINs and DOUTs integrated in one BIG stripboard). ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
