| 12:51.03 | T0mW | prpplague: I might do that |
| 12:52.45 | T0mW | prpplague: I've been trying to figure out a cheap way to get multiple boards done on a single sheet of fiberglass so that I can build a bunch of boards all at once, then seperate it into the individual boards. |
| 12:53.06 | T0mW | prpplague: the board houses offer "scoring", which works well for this, but costs! |
| 12:53.10 | prpplague | T0mW: sparkfun does some batch stuff |
| 12:53.19 | prpplague | T0mW: through olimex |
| 12:53.25 | prpplague | T0mW: long lead time though |
| 12:53.30 | T0mW | yeah |
| 12:53.48 | T0mW | prpplague: lower profit margin for me though |
| 12:53.56 | prpplague | T0mW: a sd/mmc card board would be supper cheap/easy |
| 12:54.04 | T0mW | yeah |
| 12:54.31 | T0mW | prpplague: people doing mods are also interested in keeping costs down. |
| 12:54.47 | prpplague | T0mW: yea |
| 12:55.05 | chouimat | morning |
| 12:55.52 | T0mW | prpplague: one idea that keeps coming back to me is building something like a cut-off saw from a dremel. You know the type, this is what the lumber yards have to cut your lumber to lenght? |
| 12:56.17 | prpplague | T0mW: yea |
| 12:56.24 | T0mW | prpplague: problem with that is the fiberglass dust. Fiberglass by itself is not dangerous, the dust is. |
| 12:56.38 | prpplague | T0mW: you could modify a straight paper cutter and add the cutter |
| 12:57.07 | T0mW | prpplague: it torgues the board as the blade cuts through it, the board tends to curl. |
| 12:57.07 | prpplague | T0mW: they make a vacuum attachment for the dremel |
| 12:57.20 | T0mW | oh |
| 12:57.21 | prpplague | T0mW: are we talking about the same device? |
| 12:57.38 | prpplague | T0mW: i think you are talking a "pull down" cutter |
| 12:57.45 | prpplague | s/a/about |
| 12:57.46 | T0mW | prpplague: I thought that you meant the pull down, yeah |
| 12:58.01 | T0mW | prpplague: is there a slider type? |
| 12:58.24 | prpplague | T0mW: yea thats the prefered method for most of the midrange cutters |
| 12:58.43 | T0mW | prpplague: I've been thinking about a slider type, parallel rods which you pull the cutting tool across the fiberglass |
| 12:59.56 | T0mW | prpplague: I've not yet seen any of that type. I keep seeing the blade type, I have to look again. |
| 13:00.18 | prpplague | T0mW: yea you could just modify one with just the dremel blade, get one of those dremel extension devices |
| 13:00.27 | T0mW | prpplague: of course, I could always spend a few $K and get a X/Y/Z CNC-type router... |
| 13:00.49 | prpplague | hehe |
| 13:01.11 | T0mW | prpplague: any vacuum would need to be a HEPA type to trap the dust. |

| 13:02.17 | prpplague | T0mW: i've used that one before to cut pcb |
| 13:02.30 | jbevren | prpplague: random question :) |
| 13:02.32 | jbevren | also hi |
| 13:02.38 | prpplague | T0mW: well, not really cut, score it enough to snap |
| 13:02.40 | prpplague | jbevren: ok |
| 13:02.46 | jbevren | do you think I could coax an lcd controller into operating a 1bpp ttl display? |
| 13:02.54 | jbevren | sems to me like it could work |
| 13:03.25 | prpplague | yea, but to what end? |
| 13:03.45 | jbevren | to not have to build my own raster scanner :) |
| 13:04.12 | T0mW | jbevren: or, you could run it as 4bpp, only use one data output line, then modify your framebuffer routines to skip bits in the buffer ram when painting the pixels... |
| 13:04.13 | prpplague | hmm |
| 13:04.31 | T0mW | wait |
| 13:04.44 | T0mW | 4bpp is monochrome, 16 level of gray |
| 13:04.57 | jbevren | nod |
| 13:05.02 | T0mW | so, you would only need to use two levels of gray: black & white. |
| 13:05.04 | jbevren | T0mW: the controller actually supports 1bpp output |
| 13:05.08 | jbevren | (pixter color ideally) |
| 13:05.17 | T0mW | then use the MSB of the grayscale as your dot output. |
| 13:05.22 | jbevren | nod |
| 13:05.52 | jbevren | heh that saves me lots of trouble |

| 13:06.26 | prpplague | T0mW: yea that rotary paper cutter does a nice job scoring the pcb |
| 13:06.27 | T0mW | jbevren: interesting. |
| 13:06.34 | prpplague | T0mW: just do it on both sides and snap |
| 13:06.41 | jbevren | T0mW: you remember the 9" macs (builtin screen etc) |

| 13:07.40 | prpplague | http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5552849613.html |
| 13:07.42 | prpplague | T0mW: oh? |
| 13:07.46 | prpplague | T0mW: one sec then |
| 13:07.54 | T0mW | prpplague: what model? |
| 13:08.13 | prpplague | T0mW: search for part number 420814 |
| 13:08.37 | T0mW | oooo! |
| 13:09.20 | T0mW | prpplague: I really like that one! it looks beefy! |
| 13:09.48 | prpplague | yea, its suppose to do 30 sheets of standard paper which is about double the size of .062" |
| 13:10.08 | prpplague | T0mW: in the past i've used that one to cut pretty heavy teflon sheets |
| 13:11.38 | prpplague | T0mW: there is another type of cutter that does even pressure from the top, but those start getting expensive |
| 13:13.22 | prpplague | T0mW: since the sd/mmc cart is no longer available for the juicebox from mattel people are getting $15 and $20 for the cartridge these days |
| 13:13.48 | T0mW | prpplague: http://www.waresdirect.com/product.asp?prodID=CUI13312&trackURL=shoppingdotcom&utm_source=shoppingdotcom&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=CUI13312&utm_content=textlink |
| 13:15.10 | prpplague | T0mW: thats not gonna have enough clearance for a .062" board |
| 13:15.15 | prpplague | T0mW: only 10 sheets |
| 13:15.26 | jbevren | prpplague: Heh. should we make some? |
| 13:15.28 | prpplague | T0mW: you need atleast 20 sheets |
| 13:15.40 | prpplague | jbevren: hehe |
| 13:15.47 | T0mW | prpplague: somehow, I will have to lift the blade to score instead of cutoff |
| 13:16.32 | prpplague | T0mW: yea the one i used had a height adjustment |
| 13:17.02 | prpplague | T0mW: problem is the guide bar won't be high enough for .062" board |
| 13:30.37 | prpplague | jbevren: would be easy to make some |
| 13:30.39 | jbevren | I can get close enough to 16mhz pixel clock to pull this off methinks |
| 13:30.54 | jbevren | prpplague: but mattell would come down on us like shit in a hog lot |
| 13:30.55 | prpplague | jbevren: sd/mmc boards for the juicebox that is |
| 13:31.07 | jbevren | :D |
| 13:31.09 | prpplague | jbevren: i don't think they care at this point |
| 13:31.19 | jbevren | they would if someone else was making money off their baby |
| 13:31.22 | jbevren | shrug |
| 13:31.42 | jbevren | although, designing the cart and putting gerber fiels on the wiki's not a horrible idea |
| 13:31.59 | prpplague | jbevren: i've been doing some digging, at it seems that if the product is out of production, it seems perfectly legal to make replacements |
| 13:32.03 | jbevren | s/iel/ile/ |
| 13:32.31 | jbevren | prpplague: ah, and it is eh? |
| 13:32.32 | prpplague | jbevren: yea, from what i gather |
| 13:33.06 | prpplague | jbevren: i'm not seriously worried about it, i think mattel is too sick of the juicebox failure anyway |
| 13:33.06 | jbevren | prpplague: in 1bpp mode, the cldc sends the pixels in serial yeah? |
| 13:33.21 | prpplague | yea basically |
| 13:33.50 | jbevren | I can use the frame and line sync for vert and horiz sync, respectively |
| 13:34.26 | jbevren | and the mac can power the pixter, to boot |

| 13:46.04 | jbevren | I almost feel sorry heh |
| 13:46.44 | prpplague | jbevren: naw, they are used to losing on some products, what i feel sorry for is the fact that they just don't have a clue about tech toys |

| 14:03.52 | T0mW | prpplague: you want it? you have to beg for it, heheh |
| 14:03.59 | prpplague | T0mW: hehe, just curious |
| 14:04.09 | prpplague | T0mW: someone has already done the card edge for the juicebox slot |
| 14:04.12 | T0mW | prpplague: ok, whenever you need it just say so. |
| 14:04.24 | prpplague | T0mW: would take about 10 minutes to do a schematic and layout |
| 14:04.40 | T0mW | depending |
| 14:05.03 | prpplague | T0mW: i'm wondering if the microSD would fit in the standard juiceware cartridge case |
| 14:05.07 | T0mW | <sigh> I've got to finish up that one board today and try to get it on order tomorrow. |
| 14:06.20 | T0mW | prpplague: microSD does not have a card detect |
| 14:07.06 | prpplague | T0mW: no need, the juicebox doesn't use it anyway |
| 14:07.50 | T0mW | prpplague: it occupies about 0.6 X 0.65" board area |
| 14:08.25 | T0mW | prpplague: 15 x 17mm |
| 14:08.50 | T0mW | prpplague: pretty freakin' small, Dude |
| 14:09.20 | prpplague | hmm |
| 14:09.48 | T0mW | you have to be careful handling the transflash itself as it is so small that if you drop it onto a shag carpet, you may lose it.! |
| 14:09.49 | prpplague | T0mW: yep |
| 14:09.52 | T0mW | heh |
| 14:09.53 | prpplague | T0mW: it would fit |
| 14:10.28 | prpplague | T0mW: every juicebox comes with an empty plastic juiceware cartridge |
| 14:10.37 | T0mW | well, maybe not "that" tiny, but it is small |
| 14:10.40 | prpplague | T0mW: so that it will play the onboard demo video |
| 14:10.58 | prpplague | T0mW: so if you had a small pcb to put in there, you'd be set |
| 14:11.28 | T0mW | prpplague: card detect can be done by simply trying to read the cartridge |
| 14:11.29 | prpplague | T0mW: basically they'd send you their plastic case, and you send them a mod'd one |
| 14:11.34 | prpplague | T0mW: yea |
| 14:11.41 | prpplague | T0mW: thats how the juicebox does it |
| 14:12.40 | prpplague | T0mW: whats the height of the socket? |
| 14:13.38 | T0mW | prpplague: 0.072" |
| 14:15.21 | prpplague | yea you could do this pretty easy |
| 14:20.12 | prpplague | T0mW: how much do you think you'd have to pay for a small pcb .031" thickness? |
| 14:21.25 | prpplague | T0mW: where are you buying you microSD sockets from? digikey? |
| 14:21.58 | T0mW | depends, most places use 0.062 for prototypes, 0.031 can cost you more. |
| 14:22.05 | T0mW | prpplague: mouser |
| 14:23.01 | T0mW | prpplague: Mouser P/N 500873-0001 |

| 14:23.15 | T0mW | prpplague: Mouser P/N 500873-0801 |
| 14:23.18 | prpplague | T0mW: yea, i know about 0.031 being more expensive |
| 14:23.56 | jbevren | prpplague: http://sprite.student.utwente.nl/%7Ejeroen/projects/gpsgp2x/ |
| 14:24.20 | T0mW | prpplague: I guess they figure 0.062 is what is used in the concept stage of engineering, if you are at 0.031 then you're now commited and have to pay the premium? |
| 14:24.30 | prpplague | yea |
| 14:24.54 | prpplague | T0mW: what would a .062 board coast? |
| 14:25.04 | prpplague | jbevren: yea saw that |
| 14:25.37 | prpplague | T0mW: say 1" x 1" |
| 14:25.40 | T0mW | jbevren: looks like Dave's European counterpart: http://sprite.student.utwente.nl/~jeroen/foto/foto/gpsgp2x/img_0978.jpg |
| 14:25.45 | T0mW | heh |
| 14:25.58 | prpplague | hehe yea |
| 14:26.46 | jbevren | :) |
| 14:26.49 | prpplague | T0mW: well in qty 10 you can get the sockets for $2.40 |
| 14:27.01 | T0mW | yup |
| 14:27.16 | prpplague | T0mW: so if you get the board done for $10, total cost would be around $20 plus shipping |
| 14:27.19 | T0mW | miniSD is cheaper @1.48 per |
| 14:27.55 | T0mW | prpplague: you have labor + profit in there, figure on 50% markup for profit |
| 14:28.00 | prpplague | i don't know why these people just can't solder to it |
| 14:28.20 | prpplague | T0mW: yea, that'd make it about $25 |
| 14:28.51 | prpplague | T0mW: i usually just figure 25% markup |
| 14:29.10 | T0mW | prpplague: 50% is standard markup |
