I received the two PCB's. Awesome work, BTW. I'm wondering what is the value for L1? One of the Coby DP151's that I got, the display only has 27 pins. Have you encounterd this? How did you solder the accelerometer? Would you be willing to share the ExpressPCB files for this project? I'm going to have a couple of these constructed soon. Excited to put them to use.
Dave, L1 is actually a ferrite bead like the FTDI documentation suggests using... I'm using Digikey 490-1057-1-ND.
I've found some variation in the Coby 151 internals (see the jazzed thread mentioned in the top post).
For me, the blue and red versions had completely different internals, but the black and white varieties had varitions I can live with.
I've gotten all of mine from Amazon.com.
For prototyping the accelerometer, I've used a solder paste syringe and a hot air gun. It's not 100%.
I do give out the ExpressPCB files for a lot of my work, but I'm going to keep a lid on this one for a while...
But, if you email me your specifics, I may make an exception...

Thanks in advance.
