jdownj 1 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I have been out of the loop for a little bit, doing a little more "traveling", but certainly put me down for a few of these! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobG 1,892 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 If all goes well with the booster pack, a standalone version will follow. The one below is 2" x 1", has MSP430G2553, LDO, 8 GPIOs, and a programming header. krzyk2, gordon, bluehash and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
speedsthatbeat 2 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I am also interested. Do we know what is the ballpark price? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 The price will be very attractive (somewhere between $10 and $20,) but the number of assembled boards will be limited. Also, on the second board, I am considering swapping 2553 with FR5729 or FR5728. It will raise the price a bit, but you get more RAM and other cool features. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SugarAddict 227 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Where you going to get those from? Leave it unsoldered and have people sample from TI ? lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cubeberg 540 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Is the grounding pad for the WizNet chip going to have to be reflowed? Looks like that might eliminate the ability to hand-solder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobG 1,892 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 Here's the preview of the server software I have removed XML/HTML switching functionality from the request processor, you can still switch between XML and HTML with the define directive.

SugarAddict 227 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hmm... this may be a fun one to solder... I look forward to the challenge! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 In the next batch, I will make QFN pads just a little bit longer, increase the drill size of few thermal vias, and add thermal via solder mask on the bottom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
