Micro UK101 board project update

[Steve Gray]

Hi,

In 2016 I designed a board based on Grant Searle's Micro UK101 project. I never actually completed the project to verify the design.

Recently I was contacted by a gentleman who was interested in making the boards. I sent him the Kicad files and he actually ran a batch of pcbs. He populated the pcb and discovered I had made a mistake with the orientation of the power connecter, but otherwise everything worked.

So, I have made the correction myself, generated gerbers and published the Kicad files on Github if anyone is interested.

You can find my project page here: http://www.6502.org/users/sjgray/projec ... index.html
The github repository is here: https://github.com/sjgray/MicroUK101

Very nice! Thanks for sharing this.

Looks like the gerber files are missing the solder mask layers.

If you get a second to add them it would be very appreciated, as I'd like to order a set of boards.

Sorry. I have added them and updated the github page. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks for doing that so quickly (and for posting the original project).

Looks very nice!

Just uploaded, and waiting for it to pass "review". I ordered 5 boards and should have 2 - 3 spares if you'd (or others) would like one.

I still amazed that a batch of PC boards costs more to ship then manufacture.

Just a heads up that there are gerber files in a few places on the GitHub repository - the ones in "Backup" have the solder mask.

Thanks again for making this available!

Oh, what a mess... oops. Not sure how that happened. Hopefully it is sorted now.
Sorry,

I saw that you had updated your Micro UK101 board and had posted a picture of it working. Well done. I hope to get a board ordered and set it up next to my original UK101.
