exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Started over with Kicad. My goal is smaller footprint (CMS passive), include mandatory fixes, with some parts that can be changed easily by specifying physical connections ports. Not targeting standard formats (pc world like atx) but not ruling them out either, eventually.

Really do not hold your breath, until stated otherwise, this is just vapor. Through can be followed there : https://github.com/sporniket/reste-mignon

I don't see what because I have been using the H5 is a daily driver for a long time and never had such issues. Though he built two boars and have exactly the same problem which is a little bit too coincidental for my liking.. Though is the only one that has reported those issues thus-far.

@exxos I'm pretty sure the problems with those 2 boards will be some jumper or a similar assembly fault rather than a design issue. I've just not had any time to dig deeper into it (yet).

Maybe even getting a few photos from other H5C1 builders/users to identify any differences will be enough to get me started...

:threadjacked:
Anyway, rather than continue to divert this, it's probably best to resume any fault-finding ideas on the two build threads

Did you keep a log of sales exxos? I can't imagine more than a few hundred got sold.

I never unfortunately kept a log of the sales of them. It is difficult to say but, there is probably somewhere around 150-200 H5's out there of various revisions I suppose.

@danboid Yes I have 2 prototypes of this board.

Time is still limited for me and too many things on the go, but I do hope to muster up a special demo perhaps in time for a later Cyberlegends event to showcase the board. Maybe in a TF536/H5 combo?

Have you posted pics of it?

Have either of you posted a BOM to build one of these? How much did they cost you to make mrbombermillzy?

Does it fit within the case of an ST (with the shielding removed)?

I want one!

There was a first (buggy) and second prototype. Dont have BOM but the schematics will give you that.

It should fit inside the Shield of the shifter.

For the two boards I made for @mrbombermillzy, for PCBs and components it costed me around 100€.
