Came in today. I used the Seeedstudio Fusion Service to get the boards printed. Expect a full write up on that experience in a couple days.

Propeller Development Stick V1.1 Finished
I added a power LED and changed the layout so that all the parts are on one side of the PCB. It is still a double sided PCB but having all the SMD parts on one side reduces the cost a bit. I changed the headers a bit so that they are the standard .1″ spacing so “shields” could be made for it.
The final size is 47mm x 27mm and would cost roughly $1 per board.
Late night PCB work.
I have had this idea to make a very small development board for the Propeller for a while now. The idea is that you can have it on your keychain or something and just plug the entire unit into a USB port. The port powers the device and there are female headers that allow you to plug other things into it. I might add a ADC just to get some analog signal input.
So I give you /drumroll the Propeller Development Stick or PDS V1.0.
Atari 2600 Cart 2K/4K PCB
Here is a Atari 2600 Cart PCB. It is the basic 2K/4K EEPROM. I don’t have the PCB files uploaded yet but you can download the CAM files. This is free for anyone to use, sell, and/or distribute.
I will be uploading the PCB files in a week or so when I get back from my vacation. I use FreePCB. I will be uploading my custom footprint library as well so people can open the files.
