2009.04.10 - NHD-0420H1Z-FL-GBW-3V3-ND is the LCD module 2009.06.01 - keithp wants a compass ... HMC5843 2010.10.30 - v0.1 boards arrived issues: - holes for the LCD leads are too small - for prototypes, workaround is remove pins from LCD module and use wire-wrap wire to connect the 14 leads - footprint for U17 (audio amp) is too wide .. need narrower SOIC 8 - for prototypes, existing footprint will work with careful placement of the part and/or hand soldering after reflow 2010.10.31 - loaded and reflowed two boards - some silkscreen work is in order .. U1/U2 refdes could be better positioned .. spots on IC's marking pin 1 should be outside chip - tqfp footprint for tiny48 seems "largeish" .. not fatally, but leaves me questioning a bit - kapton paste mask worked, but was harder to use than stainless 2010.11.22 - notes from initial turn on before I forget - the footprint for the AVR ICSP connector is mirror-imaged! - it's easy to crowbar the 3.3V rail by over-driving the audio amp. can we run it from unregulated lipo instead? Would be nice to do that, then crank up the gain. 2011.03.14 - if we move off speaker to an earphone jack, perhaps DK CP-3523SJCT-ND ? 2011.05.05 - be nice if the cheaper version could fit in Mouser 546-1591XXATBU, which is the translucent blue Hammond 1591XXATBU - the new 2x16 displays Keith plans to test might all best be installed using double sided foam tape, like DK 3M4008-ND, which is 1/8" thick and 1" wide.
