Alas, no extra margin, but it did get me back down to the price I'd budgeted as opposed to being way over. I usually don't have much hand-add through-hole stuff on my designs (I try to avoid it), so I didn't do a very good job estimating that part of the price. (I came within ~$0.50 USD on the SMT stuff, but was WAY off on the through-hole!)ravyne wrote:Excellent, sounds like a sound choice and I'm glad it gives you more margin for all your hard work.
I'm expecting ~20 of them tomorrow! (I did those on a prototype process since it was a slightly newer design. I got obsessed with making it the same size as a business card, so I scrunched things down a bit. As long as I didn't screw something up, those should be super easy to build. Maybe a few minutes each is all. Eight connectors, a couple switches, a few SMT parts. (Which reminds me, I need to make an alignment jig for the SNES connector soldering still...)Do you have baseboards soon to be ready to go as well?
