I was looking for diptrace files for the Propeller Mini. It is listed as Open Source Hardware, but I can not seem to find the files for diptrace. any thoughts? The Open Source Hardware Icon link just takes me to a page that shows what products are open source.

    Interesting problem... I do know that the schematic is easy to locate via Google search. Why not create your own? Someone might not have gotten around to creating and posting it yet.

    Personally, I have been thinking I would love to revise the Propeller Mini to use some of the unused pins to provide a mini SDcard slot, and an I2C ADC chip with 4 ADC inputs.

    Then it would be more enticing to me.

    FYI, shimniok sells an eeZee Propeller board with additional I/O pins broken out. I think I like it better than the Mini (though I don't own either of them).

    Tubular's Und3rb3lly is another small Propeller board. It has pads for a uSD card reader and pads for an ADC chip on the bottom of the board (there are also pads for SRAM).

    I asked Tubular about purchasing a couple of his Und3rb3lly boards but he told me he didn't sell them. Instead, he gave me two. Interesting business plan.

    The Und3rb3lly was included in the Smorgasboard as were a lot of other small Propeller boards.

    If either of you want to design your own PCB, you might want to take a look at the boards on the Smorgasboard for ideas.
