I’m really not sure why chinese pcb orders come in batches of 10 but they do. I’ve ended up with lots of spares so I’m making a list here in case people are interested. The little ones are $CA2, the big ones are $CA3, cost was $US15/$25 for 10. Some day I will run more workshops with these, until then they are listed here. These are just pcbs remember, in some cases I will be able to sell you parts at cost too.
I’d be interested in a Bus Pirate, FET Shield, Adafruit compatible motor shield, and a Level Converter (or two?)
Do you know which you/VHS has components for?
VHS only really has passive components. If you are doing an order anyway, it is better to pay 1-7c per part than spend ages going through the boxes. The VHS parts are awesome for emergencies (when you don’t want to pay $8 shipping on a 7c part). If you want to come over to my place and go through them, feel free.
I have full kits for the FET shield still, $11 inc pcb as per eventbrite, as above FETs are free (we still have like 500 of them).
I think I have the parts for the motor shield. The problem with this project is that Adafruit has a good price, the parts cost is only a few bucks less that the assembled version.
I don’t have any of the major parts for the bus pirate or level converters. I do have stuff like the LEDs and resistors/capacitors but since you need to do an order for the silicon you might as well order the rest.
@TomKeddie Can I get a FET Shield (full kit) and a Bus Pirate (PCB only)? I’ll be at open house tonight. Thanks!
Building/programming the bus pirate is going to stretch my skills a bit. @jon, @Janet, @packetbob let me know when you plan to work on yours and if I can follow along. PM me (or start a new thread if you think we could make this a mini group build). Happy to help with a parts order.
Am down to my last bus pirate board, thanks to everyone for clearing my shelves a little. Seems like there are about 5 or so bus pirate builders out there, would make a good build night. I think this is the most up to date parts list I have http://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=a7d7ed113d but it should be checked, especially the LDO regulators.
Need to check the schematic to make sure the package and pinout is correct on the part numbers in the mouser list. I remember having issues at the time of the build, not sure if it was because I ordered SOT223 or what.
I’ll try to post this tonight, I managed to order the correct crystal etc. Just need to look up the passives (I used parts from my junk box). Thanks again for offering to help, my mouser order is now full so I won’t be able to help (I am bringing it back over the border so I need to keep under a certain value).
