    You sure have been busy... I turn my back for a split second and you have an entire product line to consider[noparse]:)[/noparse]

    For sure, count me in for a couple of insecure mods w/uSD assembled... and I'll take the PCB boards no one else wants. A great price and a great opportunity.

    And the really exciting news is your tinymod... a couple will do for now[noparse]:)[/noparse] I would love to order some unpopulated boards on this... but you would have to offer an all inclusive kit that would allow me to build it first time. That's right... you could go shopping ... play with it all... take some pictures, put it on YouTube, write a couple of lines and make a profit[noparse]:)[/noparse]

    ... and I would really like to have a uSD on the back-side of your ittybittymod

    PropsGalore... tell us more... put it in the store... ship it out the door...

    You will need to let everyone know when to pay-up[noparse]:)[/noparse]

    mctrivia... I have an idea... and I think you might be the one to ask.

    I work with a charity, named the Africa Genesis Foundation.

    I am slowly designing medical equipment (around the Prop) that can be built very cheaply... without violating any patents. Eventually, everything will be put into the public domain. The basic idea is to stimulate medical development in East Africa.

    There is an ophthalmic device called an automated perimeter, which is used to measure visual fields. These devices are virtually absent from East Africa because of cost.

    A cheap design could be produced using a Propeller, a cheap dome-like structure and some well calibrated LED's. I've been thinking about using a small geodesic dome.

    My question is this... can you build circuits on boards that have arbitrary forms factors? For example... Is it possible for you to cheaply put circuits onto boards that are triangular in shape?

    Prop Galore can be found here. The idea is 8 boards of 8 props all running off one 5MHz Clock.



    not including you I have 15 ordered so far and about 40 boards going to be ordered. You want all the rest?

    I can definitely purchase all the parts and put it together in a kit form. Instructional video on assembly can be done also. Have not played with youtube yet but I am sure I could figure that out also.

    automated perimeter sounds like the device they made me look in when I got my drivers license. was a hood with a bunch of lights in it and they asked me when I could see the lights and when I couldn't.

    boards can be made in any shape but the price is still based on if it was rectangular. 2 right angle triangle could be made on a square though and then cut apart without loosing much space.

    Africa Genesis Foundation is a great charity and if you have schematics for any products I am willing to donate my time to layout the boards.

    At that price, I'd be a fool not to want it... but let's give it a chance. There are some others here that are interested but won't do anything until you start accepting money... so, I'll take the boards you have left but let's leave the window open as long as you are comfortable.

    It is one of those official charities... so anything you contribute of your time can definitely be written off... assuming that we all do our best to make you profitable first[noparse]:)[/noparse] Time is the most precious commodity... so let's make sure you have enough to give away, first. I'm still noodling everything...

    well other then this week I usually have time.

    As for money people can pay in advance if they like paypal is squarerootofnegativeone@gmail.com

    As stated earlier these boards will be ready by about May 25th so there is no heary to receive money. Unless you need them earlier. I can send off sooner if needed.

    Shipping cost is $15CAN($12.40US) world wide. If actual cost is less I credit you the difference on your next order.

    It sounds like the 1x1 will be a popular product.

    Kind of amazing isn't it?... something so simple and yet it took a couple of years for someone to offer it.

    I missed the due date... but remember this is a birthing process, so delays are sometimes unavoidable.

    It is amazing how the simplest things take a while to think of. I learned to build things modularly long ago so if something fails or I make a mistake in building it I do not have to rebuild the entire thing. Wish I found the prop years ago but I am here now and I love it and don't want to use anything else.

    Well some are and some aren't.

    It takes 2 weeks roughly from the day I tell the PCB Manfucaturer I want the boards to the time I get them. This can't be avoided with out paying them a lot of money.

    I was planning to send off May 11th so I would have until June 30th to pay but if you want lots of boards now I can send off Monday.

    There is not physically enough room for my stock card reader on the bottom side of the 1x1. it barely fits underneath a 0.7" pitch board and this is 0.6"

    Ok well I screwed up in ordering. I accidentally ordered 100 of the 1x1 and none of the full size. Ordered 100 full size boards today so I will get them hopefully by the 10th.

    rjo_ asked for a kit so I have put one together for the 1x1. Will do the same with the full size later.

    For $12 you can get 1x1 propmod and all needed pats(and a few spares of the really small parts) excluding the prop. I am still working on getting an import license so I don't have to pay tax twice on the props so for now if you want them from me they are $12 extra or $8 from parallax direct. make sure you get the QFN chip(P8X32A-M44)

    i am still waiting for the pcb to come back. turns out i forgot the drill files when i sent. Still expect to be able to ship assembled boards by the 25th of the month and blank pcbs are now looking like the 18th. Will post pics up as soon as I get them back.

    have been following your overlay thread. very cool.

    The pcb manufacturer apologized and promised me them Monday. Seems sending 2 similarly named boards at almost the same time can cause them to forgot. Anyone that just needs propmod_us order from the site below with my new shopping cart(have not integrated paypal yet) and I will ship this coming weekend. Those that need 1x1 will be shipping soon afterward.

    here is the schematic. the pinout can be found on page 1. though the propmod-us uses P29 instead of clockout.
