    Almost ready. Have a few parts to lookup for BOM, and some hand-routing to finish, but I'll post here when it's ready.

    In the process of selecting parts. Anyone have a problem with tiny surface mount switches that may require the end of a pen or something similar to press, or would you prefer a raised button you can press with a finger?

    Last part to select - so please let me know ASAP.

    No problem with small switches here.

    I'll likely swap it out if it's not tool-less... or never use it.

    Thanks Bruce!

    I loaded Bruce's latest design to BatchPCB.com. Here is the link, (at cost) at $11.50 each http://batchpcb.com/index.php/Products/53019

    I will probably get to an order in a week or three. If anyone else wants to give it a go, feel free. Bruce's board and the UBW32 board are about the same area, so the cost for an order of 30 should be pretty close. Might be closer to $7.00 each for Bruce's board, where the UBW32 would be $6.50.

    Please chime in. I would like to see if people are still interested, and if so, which board.

    Or, I could just put both boards on batchpcb, and those interersted could place their orders.

    Let me know.

    Thanks,

    Walter

    Maybe folks have lost interest in this. Bruce's board can be purchased in singles from batchpcb here . Only bad part, is they charge a $10.00 handling charge for each order. Not too bad if you find some other boards in there that you like. I tried uploading the UBW32 to batchpcb, and that board fails their 8 mill spacing requirement. Kind of makes you wonder where they have this one made! And things are tight enough on that board, that I doubt it could be made to pass batchpcb. (slightly lower quality PCB production I guess). So for either board, cheaper alternatives would only be available with a group buy. But then again, you kind of need a group for a group buy.

    I have not lost interest, just have not had the time to worry about it.

    I guess I could send you the money for four boards if that will help with an order, I sent four chips to Bruce so I am still in it, should do something with the parts.

    Let me know.

    Thanks guys, just didn't want to have all 30 for myself . If you two are interested, chances are a few more will be later. I'll put in an order this week.
