Hello all... I am planning on building a Propeller based wearable computer. I am using ExpressPCB for my design and fabrication work. I borrowed some of my design so far from the Propeller Controller Board by Brian Riley and Mark W McCann since they are using it too... See Propeller Control Board topic...

Anyways, these are very rough. I took everything so far, nothing original. It's just combining things. I have portions of the Demo Board, PropStick and Control Board. I also put some alternate serial adapters in too...

Here they are:

    Fixed Netlist Issues and Funky non-schematic angles in ExpressSCH... starting a PCB design.

    Anyone know how to get VGA and Mini-DIN - 6 components in ExpressPCB?
    I had to use a DB - 15 in the scematic for VGA and 6 pin jumpers for the PS/2...

    Any input on which Serial Connection I should use?

    Made USB2SER 4-pin directly into SER...

    Added start of PCB.

    Best (and probably easiest) way would be to find a PDF on the connector you'd lie to use and either make a new "footprint" or just find the shape and size pad(s) you need and align them acordingly. This may also be the fastest way since i have a good ammt of exp with this prog too.

    I'll try finishing the basic board design this weekend, ask for constructive criticism monday, fix it up tues./wed. and ask for more criticism... Lather Rinse and Repeat.
