[IC] Face U replica PCB+Controller+Diodes

[Madhias]

it seems we can get PCB with ISO compatibility and also a 75% (the mx mini u)

I would take an ISO compatible PCB! If there's enough interest in ISO - but hey, we're here at DT!

ARGH!!! FLASH SIGHTED!!!! And I don't mean LEDs.

The day Muirium installs Flash or a newer machine will be a remarkable date in human history.

[matt3o]

GB may start as soon as tomorrow, tin will be responsible for direct shipping from roaring China.

[HzFaq]

Yeah, I'd be in for a 60% PCB if ISO is an option.

[macmakkara]

Interested in ISO 60%!

[MrMen]

Does this pcb will fit in standard 60% case ? I'm quite a newbie on this… If affirmative, I'll be in

[matt3o]

yes, it's poker case compatible.

[invalidname]

I'm interested, assuming that the PCB is compatible with MX switches...

[MrMen]

So I'm in.

[matt3o]

I'm interested, assuming that the PCB is compatible with MX switches...

of course it is!

[Medowy]

I'm in for a ISO PCB :3

[matt3o]

waiting for Tin's feedback

[DanielT]

In the meantime we could make a list with the people interested in the PCB

[matt3o]

So far... if I counted them well

Now to get some mx greens...

thanks, that will come handy

Reading http://winkeyless.kr/65 with Google Chrome translation is very funny, but understandable (a little bit).

This is helpful! Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm in if you can ship Stateside for reasonable rates.

[matt3o]

Okay it seems the PCB comes without a bootloader. It means that I have to solder the headers and flash the bootloader for all boards. I'm talking with tin and the supplier to try to solve this issue. I'll keep you posted.

I have no problem with that, but it won't be cheap. I believe in the €15 range for a PCB (for tracked shipping)

Reasonable enough, lets do this

[matt3o]

anyone who is able to flash his own bootloader can have it cheaper directly from China, if you need the bootloader it will be a bit more expensive.

[DanielT]

How complicated is this, it involves SMD soldering ?

[matt3o]

you need to solder a header to the PCB and of course an ISP programmer (5 euros). no SMD

[DanielT]

Ok, I'd prefer a flashed board
Inly if there is no other way I will do it myself, sounds interesting anyway

[matt3o]

yeah I can do that. Not a big issue, we are trying to comm with the dealer to see if there's any chance we can have them already flashed. It that wouldn't be possible I'll ask for a discount at least

[DanielT]

Let's see how it goes with the dealer

[matt3o]

I have confirmation that the PCB won't come with a bootloader, but I will flash it for you so no worries.

Actually if Tin can flash them we can have the board coming directly to you from China, otherwise I'll have Tin ship the PCBs to me and then I'll flash and ship to you. They are pretty light, so shipping won't impact on pricing too much.

The target price per PCB is around €45 for the faceu and €50 for the miniu, but I'll know better in the next few days. I'm trying to move things as fast as possible, but there are other two people involved on different timezones so we have to wait this darn Earth to spin around.
