I sent my PO yesterday to OLIMEX Support, and they are being processed!

Here's the thread of my boards I made in EAGLE.

Mockup of how it'll look/fit in a Mint Tin w/2 9v batts:

Sweet! I'm eager to order one.

Looks good. Is it desiged for a specific case?

 

[FallenAngel]

Looks good buddy.

You might want to up C1 to 470uF though.

Made specifically to fit in a Altoids Mint Tin, and can fit in a Hammond 1455C801 or 1455C1201 case.

470's would only be needed if I was using a standard Resistor Divider (470/2 = 235uF for positive & negative voltage). A 220 would be just fine for the TLE2426.

Just curious... How many did you order and how much did it cost for the whole process? I'm thinking that these could become quite popular.

 

[fordgtlover]

Are you going to sell boards? If so, for how much?

 

[balou]

how long did they take to confirm your order? I also have sent in my design, but no response yet...

 

[ruZZ.il]

hey what do you see the price-range being for the boards and whats the price for the BoM? would you offer kits or allow others to kit things?
I know a few people around here who would like to build a cmoy or something.. I wouldn't mind getting 6 or 7 boards and kitting them up for them here.. or just getting kits from you for them... maybe building 2 or 3 and giving them to friends for presents and stuff...
also, its a bit late.. but would have been cool to add a charging circuit.. its really small and most people would use it.. anyway, can always build one on perf

great initiative. respect

You can use any input cap that will fit in 5.00~5.08mm lead spacing, and also about 5~6 mm wide.

I only ordered one batch (12 boards) so far, just to see how they sound, how EZ they are to assemble, and fit in a Mint Tin. One batch of 12 costed me $45.30 USD. If I order another batch, I think I get a price break and would cost about $38.70.

Once I find proper padded envelops & figure out how much exactly they'll weigh to ship, I'll reply with what I would need to charge for:

- Ordering boards from OLIMEX
- Purchasing Padded Envelops
- Shipping Costs
- And time spent designing the board in EAGLE

I am guessing $10 for one board and $5 extra for other boards, $15 for 2, $20 for 3, etc...

Took less than one business day. They will not reply to free web based email addresses like: Yahoo, MSN, Hotmail, Gmail, etc, etc.
