sineSurfer Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hi, I thought about training myself tu use Eagle app doing a BankStick for 2 chips, and then some more, like 1, 2, 4, 6 ,8 to cater for anyone needs, easier to etch than stripboarding, at least for me ;DSo, can anyone more experienced than me(almost everyone here I guess)tell me if I got this one right please?

Davo Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 It looks like this design already allows for this, but it would be nice to explicitly make sure 90-degree headers can be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 The only reason I could come up with for wanting a Bankstick board with less than the maximum amount of memory would be size - so, I'd try to get the board a bit more compact if I were you :DBTW, there IS an error in the board. Both ICs have all address pins dragged to ground. See http://ucapps.de/mbhp_bankstick.html to fix this. I added a layout I just threw together, toi give you an idea about how to minimize size a bit.The second picture has the right IC mounted to the other side of the board, reducing size even further :DThese layouts do not have mounting holes in them yet. I merely posted them to give you an idea of what I think you should go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sineSurfer Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 BTW, there IS an error in the board. Both ICs have all address pins dragged to ground. See http://ucapps.de/mbhp_bankstick.html to fix this. I added a layout I just threw together, toi give you an idea about how to minimize size a bit.Yes, noticed that error too, hard to read that tiny schematic ;DThe second picture has the right IC mounted to the other side of the board, reducing size even further :DThese layouts do not have mounting holes in them yet. I merely posted them to give you an idea of what I think you should go for.nice examples there!!! still a lot to learn for me, the good thing is that I'm getting to know the program :)i'll guess it will be hard to improve on your design, but i'll come back with some more, thanks!

bugfight Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 whatever you do, don't try to build that second montrosity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 jimp, after our "discussion" about the mini-tiny-pokey board, I actually tested double-sided component stuffing with overlapping ICs. It's not fun to solder, but it works :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 With machined-pin sockets, you have a bit of access to the topside of the pin, so you can do double-sided boards without too much trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
