Well than one part from you and another part from down under :-)


Don't worry, insert some chips and make 6 solders is very very easy. Even my mother can do it ;)

This is Robert's kit. Square socket don't is needed because I will include it in my board.

Sounds good to me....

I will contact Robert to discuss his postage cost. Being a "local", there's surely some benefit for me... This time! :D
 
Well put me down for one complete board :-)

Sorry, for the moment you have to buy the kit from Robert, because I don't have find an economic dealer for TPS2024 and SL811HS.

At the moment costs for the complete board is higher than Rino+Robert Kits ;)
You can buy TPS2024P from Mouser Electronics, but I don't know if they ship to other countries than USA and Germany.

Yea, and you don't need to wait 20 days to delivery.... ;)

Cheers,

Thanks mate. I've found it only in SMD in Italy.
 
Uuum, maybe it's not a quite good idea, to produce a design with obvious problems... Well, I hope, you will be successful and everything is working fine.

High Quality PCB with golden plated contacts!

Soon a FOR SALE Thread!

Only 9 boards, for the moment, so you MUST be a FLASH!
 
Really great news... and great job!! As I said into a previous PM, I'm interested... now for a future production!
 
crasbe: what do you mean ?
Oh, there are serval problems, I think.

Both USB-Lines (DP and DM) are too far away from each other. The idea of differential potentials is missunderstood. If DP is high, DM is low; when DP is low, DM is high.

This behaviour protects the data against electromagnetical influences.
DM- and DP-traces are about 15cm long, but about 3mm separated from each other. Better would be about 1mm or less.

Also: Why is there no shielding on the opposite side of the traces? They are completely free to send and recive em-fields. Nearly no protection. :roll:

The power-supply is also not quite good IMHO. It's absolutely NOT state of the art. It is 70-80's style...

Also there are serval known fixes, you could edit it in the gerber-files.

There will be a new project, which is based on the thylacine design, but with new components. (Not directly my work.)

Greetings,

Hello Crasbe, I think it's really great that the German community is working on a fixed and updated version of the Thylacine! I was wondering if you could tell us any updates about the project? Is there a working design ready to share that people can start to produce in batches now?

Another thing I have been wondering, has anyone been in contact with Gilles Pelletier, author of the Anaiis USB stack? Anaiis is ideal for low-end Amigas like A600s and A1200s with Subways, and would be very suitable for someone with an A2000 who doesn't have an accelerator or the RAM to run Poseidon. It's also regularly updated unlike Poseidon. Adding Thylacine support to Anaiis makes so much sense to me.
