Nice build

Hello,

i'm ordering the parts my local electronics store didn't have.

I have questions:

What frequency should QC1 and Q1 be?

Is the DS1315 mandatory?

Do your Serial+Parallel ports line up with the back edge of the mainboard? Mine are 2mm longer than the board.

It would be great if someone remembers where that info is, i'm still reading but can't find.

Greets,

See the bottom of the post BOM.

Nope, just jumper the 2 pins marked on the MB if not using it. You also won't need the battery hold either.

@Icky Said there was no alignment issues.. I guess its possible different manufacturers may have some variations on stuff.

What info exactly ? Icky did a page you should look at https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... =73&t=2229

SMD stuff is finished, i still need to get some connectors (Power) and some more jumpers.
I found out i got some resistors in wrong physical size.

Taking shape!
