- 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
