StickOS

OK here's one that fits on a breadboard. Headers from side-to-side are 0.9" so you'll have 1 hole left over on the outside edges for wire. Board edges will hang over a tad, but it now fits. Overal size is now 3.1" x 1.475".

Changed the 1x16 analog header to a 2x8 so that fits, and added Walters Mini USB connector.

If someone else with Diptrace could verify all connections it would be a big help. It's passed DRC at Freedfm.com, but a second set of eyes might catch something I missed.

The .ZIP file contains the Diptrace board design.

Ok, it took about three weeks, but I just received my order from batchpcb / Sparkfun. The board looks pretty good! Thanks again Bruce! I still need to get a few parts to put it together though. Once it works, I will place an order for at least 40. Sounds like dhouston found a pretty good deal from ezpcb, so I'll probably give them a try. Here's a picture of the board. The good thing about this order (not sure if this was just a fluke) was I got two of all 3 boards I ordered, but I only paid for 1 each of the three.... Anyone else tried them before?

Edit: One out of the six boards I received has some problems. It just happens to be on one of the StickOS boards. The trace E1 on the back side of the board wasn't fully etched, and in at least two places, this trace goes to ground. The other boards don't show signs of this problem. Probably just another fluke..... Anyway, here is a picture of the pretty side.....



And ugly side....



Well, at least they gave me one free one, I guess I can't complain. And after a little work with an exacto knife, they both should work.

Thats great! Despite the little shorts. A knife would make the job OK.

Looking forward for the working board

Does this head mounted gadget give a good stereoscopic view?

Google "bausch lomb magna visor"... around $30 USD on Amazon.

You will not be dissapointed! I use mine with my regular perscription eye glasses on.
Like a breath of fresh air when you need the detail.

I highly recomend them for electronic work.

Any impressions of StickOS and/or PIC32?
