Project update 15 of 27
We submitted the gerbers for final prototype to our PCB manufacturer. It is currently getting produced. We had to modify the PCB stack-up slightly. Original stack-up was using Rogers RO4003C as substrate for RF layer. Hi-tech didn’t have RO4003C in stock. We changed RO4003C to RO4350B, which is a very similar substrate. Hi-tech will ship the PCBs around Sept 27th. We are expecting to receive them before Sept 30th. We already have all of the chips in enough quantities for a sample run, we will immediately start the assembly once we have the PCBs. We’ve already reserved our spot at the assembly house.
We uploaded the PCB schematics and PC GUI sources to our Git-Hub repo. We will upload the firmware and web UI source codes in the coming weeks.
