Hello David, Thanks for all the information. I think I'll take the pof file and programm it with the guideline in the links you wrote here. Static IP: I think the IP Address could be changed? For

Hello, Reto. Yes, you dont need to compile all the project, you can find ready to use pof file in the archive from GitHub. Use MCU hex file from that folder with bootloader or latest firmware sources.

Hello David, I working on a BOM for the Board Revision DF-05-18-US. And here i'm not sure which parts to mount. I soldered 0.1uF Caps on this place. ist this correct? NExt to them are the 25 Ohm R's

Hello David, Thanks, I cross checked it, and I have 100p soldered. I got 2 enveloppes from digikey with 100p Caps. And one is closed, so I thought I had not mount them. ;) I also try the program you

Hi David, Ok, i have seen it ;) This parts where not expensive and maybe I use it on another project. If I don't need much time for "repair" and search fauults, I'll make a new BOM for the newest

Hello, Reto. 50 Ohm chip resistors are very rare and expensive. Use 49 Ohm instead. You don't need to use Digi-Key numbers from that BOM list, those numbers oftenly changing for the same parts. Use

Hello, Reto. You don't need to use Quartus for FPGA programming. You can use this liteweight tool (137MB) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzuiSb2tJSbzZFNFWmpxTUFkUHc/view?usp=sharing Manual is here

Hello David, I think theres a fault in the description of the linear regulators. You wrote mcp1823T-3302. I guess this must be mcp1824T-3302. Is that correct? I mount the mcp1824T-3302, because in

Hi David, Board is now 99.9% finished. I missed sôme parts which are not in stock at digikey. Some Caps with values 56p, 91p and 110p. Also the 50 Ohm Resistor (50R). But this was not on my BOM.

Hello David Thanks also for this information. I mount the ntc on the correct pad next to the final stage fet. So the higher rated caps are only used on the right side of the board around the DC/DC

Hello David, Thanks for this info. I searched after the hint with the zener diode, because someone wrote, that I have to do è work around if there's no pad for mountings it. But I have the board

Hello, Reto. If your board on the top right corner has "DF-05-18-US", you don't need to install zenner protecting diode (no place for it). Also, you can programm PIC in simple high voltage mode. Yes,

Hello, Reto. Yes, that is marked as *T. 10uF 25 Volts 0806 ceramic capacitor is using on main DC/DC convertor input, because input voltage is around 12 Volts. All other 10uF 0806 capacitors may be 10

Hi Rob You told me earlier, that I have not the actual Gerber file. So I have now a little bit another layout. You told me about the zehner diode. On my layout there's no place for the Zehner. I

Hi David I'm near to finish assembling the board. The pictures in your article helps very much, but my board differs from the one of the picture. I have a 100kOhm term NTC. I guess it comes right to

Hi Rob, I tried this, but it don't works. I got an email from an agent and they told me, that there was en error. In the meantime i baked the BGA on the board and mounted som of the QFN's by hot

Hi David, Yes I read it and I have it printed. But I made a sepeate Print of the Picture for assembling, and got the wrong one, sorry for the question. At the moment I stop builting, because I must

Hello, Reto. I thought you have rad this article before start to assembly a board... http://ody-sdr.com/2017/10/15/location-of-the-components-on-the-odyssey-2-transceiver-board/

Reto, In their website, they have an option to upload the PCB file directly. Nicole probably deleted the PCB from my order already. I believe you would be able to upload the latest PCB into their

Hi David, I start the project yesterday with soldering the BGA. It seems to be ok placed, no shorts so far and i can measure some pins working. So I think it's ok. I also have your picture from the
