Re: New run of orbshields

[quote="vputz"]I had so many cryptic errors with the 328p and V-USB failing without a precise crystal that I decided to Just Be Sure on this[/quote]

If you think it helped, just leave it in for a few cents :D

Re: New run of orbshields

[quote="vputz"]I think I shouldn't even need the crystal for programming[/quote] Seems like you need the external crystal only if you need high-speed USB 2.0 mode (don't think you do as it's just serial port rates): http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=23796 And you probably don't nee...

Re: New run of orbshields

[quote="vputz"] I haven't worked out if the 32u4 needs more to program... I've had some people tell me I just need the 6-pin header hooked up and some say that it needs a crystal as well. At any rate with the two prototypes I've gotten working, both needed a lot of fiddling[/quote] Verify your caps,...

Re: New run of orbshields

[quote="vputz"]I like the "rings" design! I considered that for this but with cutouts on both sides (for the problematic DB9 port and then the USB port) I would have a few "half rings" which wouldn't work so well ... Now I'm actually wondering if the components are really 0805, because you describe ...

Re: New run of orbshields

[quote="vputz"] Kenyee: most of the components are 0805, but unless you're just wanting it I'm not likely to offer an SMD kit (too many fiddly bits); the kit version will be PTH with the ATMega already in place (I can reflow and program it here, so when the kit goes together it should "just work"). ...

SMD component size?

Vic: If you haven't fixed the size already, is it too late to ask for 0805 SMD components? Much easier to solder by hand, though I suspect most people would have problems w/ the ATMega you'll use for the arduino portion :D And any schematics of the board? The prototype photos on this thread don't lo...
