And good quality parts.<br /><br />It will be my first board where I have to solder such small bugs.<br />But I like chalanges and eventually new glasses ;-()<br /><br />MikeMike Eitelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677661684865525889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721739666225174355.post-62962018607004782972014-06-11T06:17:28.586-05:002014-06-11T06:17:28.586-05:00I used itead for the V1.0 and V2.1 boards with no ...I used itead for the V1.0 and V2.1 boards with no problems. They even caught a goof in the fab files for V2.0 (I hadn't regenerated the copper pours which would have caused a short to a trace). The HASL boards I sold with the kits were from itead, and the ENIG boards were from seeed studio. The zip files in the gerbers directory of the github project are the actual files I sent to the fab houses.cdsteinkuehlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12028187486525768375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721739666225174355.post-56819696237319678592014-06-10T20:15:39.324-05:002014-06-10T20:15:39.324-05:00Unfortunately I too missed the boat on the CRAMPS ...Unfortunately I too missed the boat on the CRAMPS boards and kits - I also missed the BBBs at my local supplier - they had 600 two weeks ago. :(<br /><br />I was about to send an order off to itead for some other boards and I thought I'd get the cramps boards made too. Have you made any boards there? If not, are there any traps with the gerbers I need to be aware of? (I tried to view them using ViewMate (free gerber viewer), but it was confused by the metric drill file).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816914392737184976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721739666225174355.post-39968288121628454582014-06-09T09:29:03.541-05:002014-06-09T09:29:03.541-05:00Sorry you missed out, but I'm glad you got a P...Sorry you missed out, but I'm glad you got a PCB. The parts are available from DigiKey or Mouser for about the same cost as the kit, but you might pay more in shipping. I've tried to make it easy to order your own parts, see the links at the bottom of the Google Docs BOM: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pw5fx23Jz1DptSU0uyQdkcHI9OfAub7Z4G-o_QCl78Y/edit?usp=sharingcdsteinkuehlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12028187486525768375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721739666225174355.post-61523937705078509412014-06-09T07:53:38.893-05:002014-06-09T07:53:38.893-05:00I missed the boat on the kits.

Luckily I did sneak in under the wire and bought a PCB. Hopefully I can put together an order to get the parts needed to complete this thing sometime in the next two weeks. My eyes have taken a turn for the worse here lately as I'm apparently getting old, so the wait time for the parts will likely be a good thing as I now need reading glasses and it will take two weeks from today to get them in. LOL. Getting old should be avoided if at all possible.<br /><br />Thanks for putting this together Charles. It looks like a fantastic opportunity to bring our printers into the current generation of processors.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03369835372285153405noreply@blogger.com
