Another announcement from the batch of production boards I received yesterday!
Proteus has the same mounting hole pattern as all Parallax 4.00"x3.05" Propeller and Basic Stamp boards, and is also a part of the Mikronauts system of stacking boards.
You will find a large JPEG of the front and the back of Proteus at the end of this post
Once again, Sapieha has done an amazing layout job - and more!
He added a lot to my original Proteus design (which you can still find on my site) to produce what is the most advanced 4.00"x3.05" prototyping board that I am aware of.
Proteus Features:
- most bussed through holes are 40mil in order to fit pin sockets or multiple leads
- 50mil spacing small through holes for SMT pads and high density connectors
On the front of the PCB, top to bottom, left to right:
- optional power on LED
- optional tactile switch pattern
- two 10/11 pin connector patterns
- eight LED mount points
- DB25 connectorpattern
- 3v3 / 5v power rails
- h-comm pattern
- SPST switch pattern, two sizes
- two additional 10/11 pin header patterns on top
- two additional 10/11 pin header patterns on bottm
- DB9 landing pattern, mini and full size
- screw terminal for Vin
- 5V and 3v3 power supply area
- Morphbus connector that can be used as a 2xN connector area
- interleaved 3v3/GND power rails
- advanced 2/3/4 pad bussed prototype area
On the back of the PCB:
- 0.050" SMT landing patterns fits soic and other packages
- provides via's to SOIC pattern
This first production run is green, future production runs will be blue.
Proteus is available immediately.
Introductory Pricing:
one for $9.95USD plus s/h
five for $45.00USD plus s/h
(NOTE: Prices will be going up April 15 to add margin for distributors)
Ordering:
- send an email to "mikronauts atsymbol gmail dot com" with your address so I can figure out the shipping
- I will need the email address you use for PayPal, so I can send a PayPal invoice to you
- I normally make two runs to the post office a week, so it will be sent within a couple of days of payment
