RE: [N8VEM-S100:2455] Re: Board Run: Unbuffered Prototyping

Andrew,

You can ignore this request... I found the general options page and turned off DRC.
I've got it all almost figured out... just need to figure out custom footprints (modules?) and I'm all set.

It's very cool software, I can see the value of DRC when doing a large board. It runs a little slow on my old machine, but that's ok, I'm slow too, so it looks like "normal" speed to me. I bet I can speed it up by turning off some layers. All good! Thanks.

Andrew,

Do you know if KiCad has a "Manual" transmission?
For a dozen components, I don't want to build a schematic, netlist, associate parts... I rather just drop modules (or foot prints?) and draw my own traces manually. Presently, the design rules are enforced, I wish to just disable them. I'm quite carefull to not cross traces, etc.

When I would use Ultimate PCB, this was the first thing I would do... disable those nusiance design rules... we don't need no stinking rules.

I'm hoping it's somewhere in the help file, I'm about 1/2 way through reading the help file... although I can see the help file is a bit out of sync with the latest copy of KiCad.

Cheers,
Josh

I think the builders ordering the S-100 regular prototyping board will probably be first to order boards.

Please take notes of your steps and post them on the wiki as a web page.

The other builders can follow your steps and/or make improvements on the process.

I will be glad to help with editing and suggestions.

Thanks and have a nice day!

All "trained" Josh ::->?

Anyway ... I've decided to stock up along with Steven. Please list me for 7 boards, which for me ought to definitely be a lifetime-supply .... grabbing for the gusto (well) in advance!

Thanks. May one inquire (and get a reply :->) as to the acronym expansion for "OMO"?

Thanks Matt.

I'm going to verify pricing first, once I know the exact the cost, I'll announce it to the group.
I expect shipping to be more, but I hope to get a cheaper price for the board. Then we need to guess the exchange rate.

Cheers,
Josh

Please put me down for two (2) boards. I'll keep them just in case. Let me know who to wire the Paypal to.

Thanks for chiming in Steven, ok, then it's settled. I am in a training course this week, but I can start the process of production next week.

Cheers,

Hi,

I live in northern Virginia. I am interesting to purchase 6 unbuffered prototyping board for this coming March due to my restricted budget. I am not surprise about many people may not interesting to buy the prototyping boards because of tremendous expensive to buy wirewarp equipment nowadays.

Secondly, I am still thinking about drilling/milling machine (see eBay and search for 3020 desktop router engraver drilling/milling engraving machine cnc. Also, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na9-USi_hZQ NOTE: should have large clear plexiglass enclosure to avoid fiberglass dust into lungs. The only disadvantage about this method that have lack of vias (between layers. It may need to solder both sides as much as like old days with Tarbell Cassette Interface board.

This will be great for prototyping work???

Josh: Both Steven Feinsmith and myself have recently expressed interest in a run of the unbuffered prototyping board. I have brought this topic up several times over the past year or so (most recently 2-3 weeks ago, without response) but there's been insufficient interest (borderline none) and I haven't had sufficient immediate need to strike out on my own with a run of only a few much-more-expensive boards. I'd like to see us get the volume up to the point that we approach/reach the $20 per-board cost, but that means at least 20 boards. I'm not sure that each of us wants 7 boards ... but three interested parties is certainly better than just one :->.

I'm located in Maryland; not sure where Steven is located. I gather that CA-US shipping cost is asymmetric -- here-to-there is cheaper than there-to-here?

I'd be willing to serve as "trail boss" if there's sufficient interest. Andrew did offer to get me started last week, but I still await sufficient interest ...

Can I get commitments on board counts from interested folks, please?

Thanks,

paul

Hi Group,

I am thinking of helping out and doing a board run. I was planning on doing the unbuffered prototype board, but Andrew thought someone else here may already have that in motion? First, let me start by saying I'm in Canada, so it may be a little more costly to ship to the US, but internationally it might not make any difference.

Can we hear a vote of which boards to build, and a show of hands who might want to build them?

I don't want to organize the group... but with a little communication I believe we can organize ourselves.

Regards,
Josh
