DO NOT USE DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time it is unfortunately not possible to white list users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

LarryL - another Raven060 Adventure

Post by LarryL »

Hi Folks,

Starting my Raven060 Adventure soon and like to document my built here :D

As written elsewhere, this will be one (out of 5) new Raven060 given birth in Germany.
OK, one set of PCBs will relocate pretty soon to Sweden and will be handled by @redpixel but 4 of them will be built during next weeks (or months) by me and some German fellows.

During last two months we were preparing, i.e. ordering components and PCBs - but now, finally, all seems to be ready and we can start.

The PCBs are all black (of course) and the Mainboard is pre-assembled with most of the SMD stuff by JLCPCB in China.
Only a few components they did not have on stock (and couldn’t order for some reason) like the 16245, the Max3245, the XR68M and the 24MHz OSC, we have to add manually. And all the THT stuff, of course.

Attached some first „unboxing“ pictures of the Mainboard, which just arrived yesterday (together with a big box of components from Mouser)

I am pretty excited and looking forward to starting my build.

Cheers

That saves some soldering, shame they didn't have thew other chips though as some of them are a pain :)
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Yes, the 16245 and the XR68 have pretty tiny pins :D
But I will have to equip 12 RAM boards manually, too - and these SRAMs are not only expensive, but also small…

But the stereo microscope in our office lab will help a lot (as usual)

Mostly black - only the electrolytic caps will be blue…

You will catch up - I have most probably not much time until the weekend…
Soldering is easy for me - when it comes to programming PICs, CPLDs and stuff, usually my problems are starting :mrgreen:
It never goes as expected…
