\"HMLiberator<\/a>HMLiberator PCB v1.0
(Click for 600dpi version.)<\/center><\/p>\n

Well, it’s done. I’ve ordered the first run of PCBs for the HMLiberator<\/a>. While they are technically a prototype, these v1.0 PCBs should be also be usable as the final part. The circuit is pretty simple, and I’ve checked things over a number of times, and it all seems right. Now I just need to finish the software.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Advanced Circuit’s $500 Free Promotion<\/a> I was able to get a $500 credit towards one or two orders, making this entire order free. I’ve heard excellent things about Advanced Circuits, and due to the small tolerances on these boards I wanted to be sure they’d be done right. Also, should I go production on this item, 250 boards will only cost $1.94 each.<\/p>\n

For now I ordered 12 boards, as any quantity from 5 to 12 were the same total price (price per board * quantity). With any luck I’ll have them by the weekend, or maybe early next week. Until then I can just finish polishing the software.<\/p>\n

If you are interested, the schematic is available in black and white<\/a> or color<\/a>. I’ve also uploaded another file containing the Gerbers and CADsoft EAGLE files<\/a>, should anyone be interested in them.<\/p>\n

Now, to get back to normal work, and possibly update the online documentation for the project a bit later. I also should make a post about Saturday, which was a really nice day of beer brewing, friends, and beer in the evening. (Although I think a bit too much beer… or maybe too much Mt. Gay afterwards at ‘s place.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
