I'd be interested in a few of these chips as well, as I definetly want a few of these boards for myself and possibly for friends as well.. Can I hop into youru DMs to discuss? |

I found the cache of virgin chips I had. I have more than I expected and that in both the SOIC and DIP format. Current pricing on these appears to be in the $6+shipping each range +/- depending on the seller, so that's what I can offer them for and I can absolutely guarantee that they are new and never programmed. I'd prefer to offer them in groups of more than 2, but can probably be persuaded otherwise. I'd even offer to have them come pre-programmed, but that would run afoul of the license, so please don't ask. *edit* IMHO, this not "Open Source", rather "Source Released". A typical hallmark of Open Source is the ability to use the information in a commercial capacity, which encourages improvements, made to the benefit of all parties, including end users who may not be able to complete all aspects of the project themselves. Improvements made to a "Source Released" type of project, with restrictions such as those contained in this one, benefits only those who own the copyrights and the small pool of individuals capable of creating the project almost entirely themselves and for their own personal use. This should be taken into consideration by anyone who might be thinking about investing their time and resources to improve such a project. --- Quote from: shanki on October 06, 2024, 05:00:16 am ---I'd be interested in a few of these chips as well, as I definetly want a few of these boards for myself and possibly for friends as well..

@RandyT. Might you still have any chips left? I'm looking at building a board. Thanks! |

They have agreed to share the gerber files for the board with an open source license. --- End quote --- Hi! I was going to try to build this, and I submitted the Gerbers to PCBWay, and here's the message I got back: "Thank you for your support,there is an Engineering question of order W353380AS3D5. As shown in attached pic, there are two l3 layer designed in your file, pls confirm which one should we follow?" I am not a PCB designer, so I have ZERO clue. @shanki could you help here, or see if you could ping your contact at NanotechGaming to ask? Thanks! --Dave |
