    Yup!

    It's been off the site for a while.

    Just in case someone cares, I have many of the original SpinSocket Flash PCBs.
    There is also a SpinSocket dev-kit (in the black case) that I never really advertised.

    PM if you're interested.

    Jim it's still on OBC's site, here
    http://propellerpowered.us/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=smorg&product_id=153

    nd yes, if you want to produce the panel yourself, the "big" gerbers are right down the bottom of the wikispaces page. However if we do run out of stock I'm happy to get some more made up

    At some point I'd like to make a P2 based "gerber viewer", taking advantage of the 32 MB SDRAM, and the "big gerbers" would be a great test sample for display.

    Thanks for that L,

    I went to his Tindie site for a search.

    I could not open the files in the current version of DipTrace 2.3.1.0.

    Hmmm ok I'll take a look at it later in Diptrace. It might be a pad limit issue.

    The gerber files were the final ones sent back by the fab house. My diptrace license at the time wasn't big enough to do the full panelization.

    Ok, Was able to order from Jeff, so I'm good for now.

    Thanks much!

    EDIT BTW when I tried to open any file in PCB Layout, it gave a file format error.

    Are you using the "File/Import/Gerbers" command? It works ok for me, but some of the gerbers split into multiple layers for me, and that makes it complicated to import, but it does it eventually.

    Attached is a native diptrace (my version is 2.2 at the moment) saved file, try and open it for me. There are definitely some layer issues with this - I think some layers are not correct, and the drill file doesn't line up either, so don't use it other than to test. If you really want this I could spent some more time getting it right... let me know

    Doh!! I was trying to OPEN a Gerber file, and not import it. And the ironic part, I used to work for Gerber!

    It must be late (early?) there. Thanks for the reply.

    Diptrace file opened fine.

    I'll take a look at it in the morning.

    Thanks mate!

    Just received my panel. What a beautiful work of art! Thanks Tubular!

    Just trying to collect BOM's and such to make and order to build a few boards.

    One that I am interested in is the IO dreamkit. I noticed that the Eagle file and BOM were never published. Any one have these? I know Bill Henning was going to produce these at on time, but it dropped off back in 2010.The board that got delivered does not match the photo on the Wiki. What is missing on the photo is the SMT R2R for the DAC. Anyone have the part number?

    Bill, Hanno, Sapieha?

    I can't help you with your part numbers but I just wanted to agree with you here.

    I'd also like to thank everyone who contributed to the SmorgasBoard. I've looked at mine many times to see how the boards were laid out. I've learned a lot from it.

    2012 was a very good year for Propeller board designs. We need to revive the availability info on these.
    The Smorgasboard is especially wonderful.
