i'll be glad to hear if his prototype is working and he starts sell it

 

My apologies for digressing the subject but is there a quick and easy way to create a RSS feed from this thread? I'm sure many of us wait patiently for this to happen without the knowledge to participate in a constructive manner...

 

Closest thing would be to subscribe to the thread. Check the thread tools menu under the thread title.

 

is something wrong with price for pcb? https://batchpcb.com/pcbs/109719

better find company with cheaper pcb price - iTead offer 48$ for 10x15cm 5x pcbs.

 

Doesn't look too bad to me. Didn't you guys use iTead for PSIO? I know they're behind due to the Chinese new year, but you'll probably get a better idea of their quality if you guys wait to get those in. If they end up not being too great these guys might be worth checking out.

 

That's about 50¢/square inch, not too bad! But hey, as long as the quality is there, the cheaper it would get, the better it'd be!

If I was you i'd order a handful of boards for testing, and once it's working, I'd contact people like Krizz and RetroGamer for advices on cheap-yet-quality manufacturing! RetroGamer could also do distribution for you!

Cheers!

Cybdyn, what do you think about the following pages:

http://tsumi.wordpress.com/2012/11/24/brief-update-on-a-notorious-scammer-taking-over-the-psx-scene/

 

Fascinating.

Someone spent a LOT of time worrying and making all of that . . . it must have been a serious matter to them.

Hmmm....

-a2a

 

hmmm... This is childish...

I personally trust cybdyn, he seems to know what he talks about and could probably build a working prototype. I don't even know what's the involvement of the haunted guy in this, but even if he'd be an ass, the work of the russian fellow would not be in vain...

 

thanx FG , i payed for order of 5x pcbs of dcio prototype, and i got email from iTead's john, he asked me about gerbers files, so i'm on the way to send him files (but now i'm on holidays)

btw, guess who've ordered parts for dcio project?

 

Yeah, the iTead boards from PSIO looked pretty good might as well save a few bucks by ordering from them again.

 

manufacturer said : pcbs have been sent to me. so production process took ~1 week. i think 1-2 week it take for postage. i ordered simple "Registered Air Mail"))) ~7..8$, will see how it works)))

 

Cool. I'm on the edge of my seat on this.

 

Any update on this?

 

it came 08.04 , i got it yesterday. but i'm still waiting electronic parts.

Fingers crossed the electronic bits and pieces arrive soon! :smile-new:

 

next time i'll try PCBA (pcb + assembling ) feature, if it costs not soo much.

 

Surely it is more fun to assemble yourself though! :encouragement:

 

Assembling prototypes is fun the first couple of times you do it - after that, it starts to get boring, especially since you can't begin to debug the design (which is the fun bit) until after you have done it. And hand soldering 0402s, even using a microscope, gets old real quick.

 

Ohhh... I guess the novelty would wear off eventually. Just looking at all that tweezer work... Ouch! :biggrin-new:
Ah well! Keep up the good work all, I'm looking forward to future updates as always! :encouragement:
