Wahoo! Today, to my utmost surprise, all the way from the eastern lands of Asia, my PCB’s arrived! Its been somewhat fast from PCB order to arrival (around 2 weeks, the standard time for an ITEAD order). I’m really happy though the silkscreen quality on the motherboard PCB’s seems to have deteriorated a bit. Regardless, […]
Today, using one of my favourite PCB companies ever, I sent off for my Phobass IV PCB’s to be made! I didn’t get round to designing the “string” PCB as that will require much more though and I’m wanting to jump right into finally completing IV! I’ve also fully completed the menu system and at […]
So with the onset of the new Phobass IV Mk2 design on the way, and after further reading into the STM32F4 discovery board disclaimer (http://goo.gl/fMIRHq) which explicitly states that I can’t use their board in any of my products, I’ve decided to broaden my search to a suitable and easily dropped in PCB without having […]
After a nice trip down to London to go and see my family, I had the joy of 4 hours of train travel! That to me seems like the ideal time to program compared to waiting doing absolutely nothing. I brought along my breadboard with my LCD and STM32F0 discovery to test my programming though […]
Having had a drastic rethink over the whole Phobass design, I’ve decided that I’m going to scrap the idea of making the patch editing PC based and have a dedicated patch editor onboard. Using my trusty PCD8544 Nokia LCD and the library I wrote, I’ve been writing a menu system. So far, I’ve got the […]
So the other day, in a lovely triangular fedex package, my latest PCB design for the phobass arrived from PCBWing (http://www.pcbwing.com/). For this PCB, I decided to have a go designing using 0603 parts as a bit of a challenge. I’ve hand soldered with 1206 and 0805 parts with no major worries and by the […]
