    Choice between monitor and tv output, room for one propmod sd or 1x1 and a couple of 1x1 only slots, a choice between using an on-board speaker and speaker output, mouse and keyboard output (you could just leave the same holes for it that parallax does on their protoboards). It would be great if there was room for some of parallax's more popular sensors, but that may take up too much room.

    If I was to make a propmod motherboard this size it would cost $28 each and I need to sell in multiples of 6 because I am making no profit.


    In diagram I have propmod-us bottom left, brain board header top left, and 8 propmod-1x1, with space for headers and stuff top right.

    9 seems like a lot, and there seems to be a large amount of waisted space at the top. What if you took out a row for propmod 1x1s and moved the propmod sd over, leaving room for connections on that other side? This would allow the top inch or so be cut off without a problem. If there were other peoples thoughts on this it would help.

    space at top is not wasted i just have not spent time to put connectors ect in there.

    If we could remove a row and have no extra header it would cut board size in half and thus price also.

    $1.10/square inch


    Also this kind of board does not have 1 single clock like the brain board.

    If the price is half I'll buy double, but it all depends on if other people would agree with that.

    Some of the stuff I can't do with the light version, but I was wondering if it would be possible to make some of it double sided.

    It is only a 2 layer board. The headers are through hole. I could stage and have 1 row on back though. Would make denser but very ocward to work on.

    I was wondering about that. The only thing I can think of is to have 1x1s on one side and the connectors for the pins on the other, but that would cause problems when trying to program them. I also thought about getting rid of extra pins by taking out repeat 3.3v pins and ground, but unless the total layout was changed the extra space would be useless.

    I might buy one if funds allow, I'll have to get a little more ($10?) to afford it. I've been busy playing around with my PropMod! I'll need to get an SD card soon so I can start on that. Still thinking of what I could make on Gadget Ganster with it, though.

    P.S. Where do you get your boards fabricated so cheap? I have had an idea for a new Propeller prototyping system that I would like to make but I have not been able to find an affordable fabricating company.

    K great. The one for my phone is 4 gig, but I was thinking about getting an 8 gig for the bot, good to know it will work.

    2 gig and under used sd standards.
    4 and up use sdhc standards

    so if your code works with 4 it will work with 8, 16 or 32GB cards

    I think for most too much was thrown out too quick...for me included. I do not plan to enter the Propeller contest though so I doubt I would qualify to make a board, but it was very kind of you both to offer. I do wonder what the others have in mind, though.

    Entering the contest was never a restriction. Deadline was set so people could if they wanted.

    It is a learning opportunity that many never try because of cost.

    I did get Eagle on my computer and try it out, but I had a tough time understanding it. Guess I'll have to try again soon. I know I'll have to figure out Eagle or something similar sometime soon, especially if I intend to try and get my *potential* business going, but sometimes I just want to postpone things as long as I can. One of the toughest things to get my b.s. eagle project done...convincing myself to actually do it.
