I have PCBs for an ATX powersupply breakout coming back soon. I think I have enough parts coming to build all 10. I want two, if anyone else is interested post here and I’ll update this thread when they arrive. PCBs were $USD2.50 each, not sure about the other parts but it will be under $US10 per person. I haven’t ordered resistors, if people need them we can fish them out of the vhs collection.
PCBs are in, am just waiting for the ATX connectors.
BTW I paid $16.00 for 40 of the terminal posts so that’s 40c each or $2 per board. They’re a cheap variety, feel free to skip them and buy something nicer.
(USD)
Terminals x 5 = $2.00
Buttons x 1 = $0.24
Connectors x 1 = $0.83
Fuses x 5 = $1.02
Leds/Resistors = $0.20
PCB = $2.50
Total = $US5.80 * (29/25) = $CA6.75 each, BARGAIN!
(subject to change if I missed anything).
ps. the pcbs are white because I was in a xmas mood when I ordered them… (and because I like to make it clear when reusing open hardware that we’re not imitating the original).
All parts are in, here is my build. The resistor values give very soft indicator leds, you might want to tweak this. Do we need a build night or would people just like the parts?
Actually that was a false positive. I built the proto with 0603 parts but the pcb is for 0805 so I’m short on resistors. Will have to wait a few weeks until I can do a digikey order.
@hjsvhsweb I can give you one kit if you’re prepared to take all black banana posts.
Note that I’m only including 5 posts in each kit - the -5 doesn’t work on most modern p/s and I don’t have enough red posts either.
