A second batch of PCBs arrived from China a couple of weeks ago, and I've had a chance to assemble and test them. Apart from a few minor cosmetics on the silkscreen, I'm happy with the outcome - the gallery has been updated with latest images.
What changed:
- Toadstool CAP headers changed to provide better stability
- Broke out the Reset pin into the Toadstool CAP header
- Low-profile SMD reset button, so it can be pressed with a Toadstool Cap mounted
- Aluminium caps now replace the tantalum ones
- Silkscreen and layout tweaks
Where to from here?
I'm testing the range of Toadstool CAPs that arrived in the same shipment:
- an EEPROM module based on the Microchip 24LC128
- a RTC using in the Microchip MCP79400
- a USB-Serial converter using the Microchip MCP2200 (having a bit of trouble with this one!)
