@exxos , is it possible to get a picture without the wire spool on top. Maybe a high res image to use in ordering parts. Very nice looking board. Is the 68901 populated? I think it is but can’t tell for sure. You and @Icky did a great job on this board. On second look it doesn’t look populated.. Anyhow can’t wait!!!

:bravo: :cheers: :bravo:

Might be better to use @Icky 3D render image ? I can't take very good images with my crappy cam. 68901 isn't fitted no.

Started doing the reset line fix.. https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 156#p50156

Though I do not plan to use flashy clock on this board, so I guess pretty much everyone can just do the shorter run bodge wire instead...


The reset chip needs to come off..

Next fix https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 902#p49902

I cut the tiny red / top track next to C9 (yellow marked on image) rather than cutting the track on the bottom...and soldered to C9 pad.

Getting the MFP solder paste on ;)

Bit of a miss-alignment going on but I don't care :)

What I did with this test was to paste, then heat it up so the pace melts, then put the chip on so I did not smudge the pace with my shaky hands..I'm not sure I'm going to do that way again as still seems tricky to get the chip to stay in one place.

Next time you do a board send me it to DRC before you submit it :P
