The first batch of board-level parts for the HMLiberator<\/a> came in today. It’s enough parts for three devices, with a few extra SMT parts thrown in just in case I drop them, sneeze, whatever.<\/p>\n

That up above there is a laser printout of the latest board layout with the electronics filling a 37mm x 25mm area. I’m going to redo the pinout of the cables to make routing of traces more efficient, but that shouldn’t affect the other areas. Also, as you can see, the part footprints are good. So, barring any manufacturing problems, it should work out great.<\/p>\n

I took some more macro photos (true macros) of other SMT parts received today, because I thought some people reading this might be interested to see them:<\/p>\n

· Four size 1206 SMT .33\u03bcF 25V capacitors sitting on a dime. These are Mouser part 77-VJ12Y25V334K.<\/a>
\n· One of the .33\u03bcF size 1206 capacitors sitting on the PCB printout.<\/a>
\n· Surface mount parts in cut tape packaging.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
