Hi MinTeam, 0.25W resistor mounted horizontally will increase the board size and thus the all layout must be modified. If you mount vertical it will be ok. About hole and pads. Based on Adam's merged boards that he uploaded to github I will try to modify them. I am not sure I can because now the new layout is more than 10x8cm (Eagle Light restriction) and hope it allows me to do modificatios. Yes, I tried in the past cracked Eagles, but were full of bugs, errors, program crashes... What hole sizes do you guys like, 0.8mm or 1mm? Pads are now 0.066 inches (1.67 mm), should I try 0.07 (1.77mm)? I will try also (0.78) 2mm but not sure if enough space. @Sandeep PCBs are factory made? If so please add me with 2 to the list, and if you are ok with sending it outside VU of course. And also we must decide about the JBOT, LPFs and a swtiching circuit. I propose 4(5) LPFs with 5 poles (two toroids): 80m 40/30m 20/17/15m 12/10m optional 160m Adrian YO4HHP ________________________________ From: Sandeep Lohia <sandeeplohia12@xxxxxxxxx> To: minima@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 9:44 AM Subject: [minima] Re: Minima PCB (eagle cad's) Haha ha! Here happened just opposite :D Friends, here I only wanted to know about modifications @ Eagle CAD : 1) Changing MFR to bigger 1/4 watt, or vertical mount is OK ? 2) U guys OK with relays G5V 2 & G5V 1 ? 3) Pads & Holes definitely needs to me made bigger... 4) And what about trimmers & capacitors? Will do as majority prefers... Right Sudarmanta-YC1, 'One World One Language' & I'll be more than happy to help! in whatever way I can... Thanks Jerry-K5, all points noted, personally I too prefer my stuff small, willing to hear more from U & from others. Before I finally order boards tomorrow by second-half, or can wait MAX by Friday... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matched diodes will be gift with PCB, from my end. (I got new DMP+vacter diode analyzer) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Matching 4 XTAL was easy but now 8 ??? lets make a group of 4~5 Amateurs & distribute among our-self, thus save unnecessary waste... (your neighbor might not have a counter) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And as Farhan, Adrian, Jerry & others have checked PCB is correct, & we can do little hobby knife if required. ( to substitute components) Again this is on experimental basis ( will distribute in costing price, non profit / non commercial) I pre-assume PCB approx 2~3 US $ each... I have Eagle installed in my desktop, but not as expert as Adrian, might depend on vedor if any small critical modification. Finally we should be really thankful to both Farhan & Adrian for their hard work, & promote this hobby, & looking further updates from their end.
