Project log #3 Revision A PCBs

Wow. It's been a while since I posted an update. Since last time, I ordered PCBs from OSHPark. I found an excellent Arduino Uno template for Eagle that I used to make my shield.

I designed the board using my schematics in Eagle. It's the first time I've made a board in Eagle; I used auto-routing and hoped for the best.

To my eyes, the boards looked excellent when uploaded to OSHPark. Two weeks later, I got the boards in the mail!

Here's one of the boards with some of the components. In the next project log, I hopefully have a finished version with mounted components to show.

FYI, ZIF sockets have come *way* down in price, these days... I know you're not looking for 40-pin, but easy-enough to work around... $2.50 (I remember when they were more than $20!)

Nice boards!

For some reason, over here in Europe the 28-pin ZIF sockets are closer to $20 still! Maybe I should just buy a batch from eBay.. :-)

Haha, well, 28-pin ZIFs are probably a bit more of a vintage thing, these days... Microcontrollers still come in wide 40-pin packages, but few people are still using [E]EPROMs ;)

Are you sure? yes | no
