Flight controller update

Basil

Hi All,

Thought i'd share with you the finished (pretty much) controller board [noparse]:)[/noparse]
I am just waiting on the SMD cap to arrive. Also, there is a jumper and some bare pads in the middle of the top. This is the nly error on the board! Will me put the FET upside down

PS. Its my first SMD board, scuse the messyness :P

Anywho, heres the pics [noparse]:)[/noparse] Now back to work on the firmware!

Nice photo of a nice board. Dimensions?

Alec/Basil,

Nice compact layout. Using both sides of the board pretty efficiently. Must have been a fun/challenge to get it all to fit.

Looks to be a 2-layer board; did I guess right? Any blind vias; haven't seen the schematic to know all the connections. Have done 100+ boards since 1985; a few quite tight layouts. I enjoy them if not on a horribly tight schedule. Enjoy doing them for myself best; more freedom.

Hi Fred,

Thanks! Size is 1"x4" [noparse]:)[/noparse] Next version will be 1" x 3.5"

Harley,

Thanks also! [noparse]:)[/noparse]

2 layers is right [noparse]:)[/noparse] Got it made at BacthPCB.
It was fun [noparse]:)[/noparse] The worst part was around the op-amp area

No blind vias [noparse]:)[/noparse]

I also like getting things as small as pos! I was a bit scared to use more MSSOP/TSSOP IC's so chose SOIC for the most part.
Now I know the SSOP's are easy to solder I will use more of em [noparse]:D[/noparse]
