NEWS Project Update DC2N
> Hi Nigel,
>
> basically what I am still in need
of is the design tool for the final
circuit boards. I have been trying to
design a cardedge (check the attached
image) in the CAD I use (eagle by
CadSoft) but wasn't able to do so
without a trick that requires manual
cut of the board.I will research more
on this because an on-board cardedge
would be the choice for the final
board (yes the one that will come
inside a nice box with some buttons the
LCD, all the connectors, & maybe a PSU
& a serial cable)
It would help if you could show around
this picture I sent you and ask people
to give me help about how to design
those cardedges in eagle,or have them
designed with a different CAD software.
Thank you.
Cheers,Luigi
Hi Nigel,
I'm afraid there's something more
interesting to publish. I told you I
designed the missing part of the board,
as per below:
http://digilander.libero.it/tcenginee
r/c64/dc2n/diary.html#29Aug07
Problem is that when we asked for a
quote for 25 of them manufactured,
they told us it would cost 6.30 pounds
each!Way too much to afford them! It
may be helpful to find some hobbyist in
UK that can help us to make them,
instead of having them manufactured
by a company that charges us so much.
Version 1.4 of the base DC2N board
will incorporate that card edge
connector, so there will not be reason
of concern if we'll want to have it
manufactured. Question now is: can you
please help me to figure out how many
persons would like to have a DC2N?
It will cost 35-40 pounds about
without any external lead or PSU if
we manufacture 25 of these new boards
(some components come from USA,
shipping is 35 USD, customs charged me
18 euros the last time I ordered some
parts) Ofcourse, if 50 of them are
manufactured, the price would be
smaller.
Thank you for your help.
Cheers,
Luigi
