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.

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.

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.
