aleph 2 boards group buy.

[dhole]

Hi There People

I would be interested in a group buy of some aleph 2 boards. I would like to use brianGT's layout. If I could get an idea of how many, if anyone would be interested. And anyone with previous experience of doing these things to assist me.
regards

Hi "Dhole",

In the spirit if DIY, why not just make your own. That layout is just so simple and it's single sided. You could easily make a pair rather quickly and accurately using several methods. Probably a lot quicker than gettin' a group buy together.

I like the "toner transfer method" myself. Run a google search and you'll get a ton of info. All you need is a laser printer or photocopier and a few supplies. I just made a pair of aleph 30 2 sided boards that will be quite servicable and they look pretty good too.

yeah I guess it could be the way. but I know some guys in the uk who specialise in small runs of pcbs. I think I could offer an attractive price.

If you want to go the home etching route, here is a pdf of the layout that I made a couple of years ago:

If you are going the route of getting boards made, here are the gerber files that were used for the last run of boards:

These are for non-commerical use only.

hello dhole,

Interesting, even though I am still working on a pair of Aleph 5's I would be interested in a couple of boards.

Please let us know when you've got a quote for the boards!

Regards,

Jarno.
