Hello :-)

I would like to use LPC1343 board to attach on this board:
http://www.hackaarhus.dk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&p=53#p53 It's for the
Bicycle LED POV project.

If I buy the PCB, I can assembly by myself the LPC and other
components. Where can I buy the PCB? is there any shop?

Thanks.

It is an 8mil-8mil with 20mil vias design so you should be able to
order it from just about any PCB shop.

I have uploaded the design to BatchPCB.. I assume the latest SVN is
good.

Cost would be $10 + $5 per board plus shipping.

I *think* I can make the design public so anyone can order it, but I
guess the handling fee is charged per order, so pooling would be a
good idea.

I am waiting for a response from their DRCbot.

Cheers

Thanks Bob :-)

But after sent that message, Matt just did remember me that he already
sent me one board of that in past... and I couldn't make it working, I
assembled by hand but the USB is not working :-( -- and OpenOCD do not
support yet SWD so I can't try flash code or debug it yeat.

And Matt wrote this to me:

The D+ pull-up resistor is connected to a N-CH MOSFET but the signal
is active-low. Either remove the MOSFET and replace it with a BSS84
SOT23 P-CH MOSFET or remove the MOSFET and wire the resistor directly
to VCC. You will then have the occasional "USB Enumeration Failed"
messages from Linux but everything will otherwise work fine.

I was misinformed about the LPC1343's JTAG capability. It only
supports SWD, not full JTAG so the JTAG connector on the board is
useless. The SWD pins are on the outer headers if your debugger
supports SWD (OpenOCD will not until 0.5 or later). The current
MicropendousX distribution has an updated schematic. The older
distribution has the schematic for your version of the LPC1343 board.

That's ok, I wanted to put a design through BatchPCB to try out their
service. I can always do with a little ARM platform.

Matt, the BatchPCB DRCbot has flagged lots of DRC errors. From reading
the forums at Sparkfun, I suspect the problem is to do with the Zone
fill in KiCAD. I'm not really sure how to fix that, so I guess I will
abandon this for now and try something else.

Just FYI, I removed the filled areas and resubmitted the files, and it
passed, so I am fairly sure the problem is the zone fill.

Shipping is either $2 or $25. Even at $40 for one off, I think that is
still cheaper than BetaLayout in Ireland which I normally use.

Did you use zone fill and set it to GND zone? did you turn on thermal
vias? Did you ask the kicad mailing list about it?
They are very inteligent and helpful. Did you fallow the curious
inventor kicad zone fill tutorials?

This is really outside my area of expertise, but I think creating the
fill is the easy part, the hard part is understanding how the BatchPCB
DRC rules interact with KiCad.

For fun, I tried a polygon fill and that worked better but there is
still a problem with the fill and the board edge. I think turning off
the board edge on the copper layers would pass the DRC, and rely on
the outline in the Silk layer, or maybe move the filled zone away from
the board edge a little.

But, I'm not qualified to say if these changes introduce other
problems so I present this purely for information not advice.

There is a board edge ammount that can't have stuff.
Their is clearance ammounts nessisary and every bit of copper has to
fallow thowse maby its hatching is smaller or bigger....
the thermals wires must also fallow a clearance.

Do you happen to know what this minimum clearance is?
