Any news with the boards?

Piotr

Yop, with delivery courier :



So this is topic for next week.

Piotr

Boards arrived , so i start assembly it.



CraigsBar

Looking forward to this.... I really want to get my one of those running here. :)


I might actually use it as intended... to try and learn some Assembler LOL.


Once I get it, I suspect additional orders for the essential XMEM, XMASS and HXC for it.

Not sure about the X-MEM, as most CPC users already got it.

Hmm, so , i do board and slots for your extensions but extensions not longer avaiable? Or avaiable only for CPC Users?  Really strange.

Joseman

I don't think that toto intend to say that in that way...

I have just said that most CPC users already own the X-MEM. (and half of them the other boards)
It's why, as answer to Joseman, I doubt that "Just CPC" increase my boards sales.

I think otherwise, JustCPC is for a new case, itx-case, all assembled inside, i doubt that an user of Just CPC that have a classic cpc with X-MEM, will change the board back and forth inside then outside then inside... i think that for sure this people will buy another x-mem (or other boards)

I certainly plan too.

Ok, here is.Release in next weekend.



CraigsBar

That looks awesome. When do we pay you the rest of the price?

Piotr

After weekend, i need assembly more boards, test, order some components. lot to do but no enough time.

ronaldo

Looks plainly awesome. You are making us impatient  :D

Nice work, man :)

David Hernandez Verdugo

Good work ! I liked one board!

Piotr

I know, it is unacceptable, but after tests board rev 3.0 i made............. revision 4.0.  I add:

5 volt power supply on board (lm2596)+bridge , so Just CPC can be powered from almost any power supply.( 9-12 volt, 2 Amp, polarisation is not important)
128 Kb ram on board, 6128 compatibile
Video out is RGB, Minidin 8,
2 slots for extensions cards.


And some design changes for better stability.




First assembled boards be aviable from next monday. Price has not changed.



ronaldo

Thank you for news, @Piotr. Some quick questions:

       
  • Will you send rev 4.0. boards to all of us who ordered 1?
  • Does on-board power supply mean that we could use a standard miniatx power supply?
  • Will it be preferably to use a standard mobile charger power supply?
I'm anxious on getting the board, and also a bit worried about my lack of knowledge when dealing with electricity.

Piotr

Power supply for example:

Amazon.com: 12 Volt 2 Amp Power Adapter, AC to DC, 2.1mm X 5.5mm Plug, Regulated

I give info for all who preordered it when boards be aviable for sale . Also i can buy more power spupply and add it to board. Also ,i think , video cable too.
