No, they are not gold-plated, it's from the flash of the camera :-D

I send them all the gerber files in the minimig1_gerbers directory in a zip file and got this PCB in return :-D

I don't know, I haven't even started learning basic soldering techniques. So I think SMD soldering is way out of my league at the moment :lol:

Way out of the league ?

Try around 0.3mm pin lead. The average soldering iron would solder around 10 pins in a go.

Title: Re: Naked white Minimig rev 1.0
Post by: CD32Freak on September 21, 2007, 06:42:29 PM: @Chain

The price for two boards was 37 Euro including postage and packaging :-)

Post by: whiteb on September 22, 2007, 07:06:20 AM: Hey CD32, You only Silk screened the top, not the bottom ?

I hope you know what resistor/Capacitor goes where for the bottom.

I know there are a couple of IC's on the bottom too. (LM1117).

Post by: jdb78 on September 22, 2007, 10:25:38 AM: Nice! :) But if you really want to use the Minimig, you shoulf know that there is a Version 1.1. In Version 1.0 you need a wirefix to make the board work properly (regarding to the Homepage of Dennis van Weeren) But should not be that hard to fix I guess. Have fun with the Minimig and let us know how it works. :)

Yes, because there was no BSK (bottom silk screen) gerber file in rev 1.0 ;-)

@jdb78

I had already sent the files to the PCB manufacturer when rev 1.1 was released :-)

Putting the components on the board would be a breeze for me.
Anyone know if the MiniMig boards are still avail. for sale

I have another white rev 1.0 board, but it's not for sale :-P Though if you want to buy a green rev 1.1 one see here: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZnusim1
Thanks to Nusim Ltd! :-D

@Chain
Yeah, that would make it the mini mini red one (http://www.acube-systems.com/eng/images/sam-advert-eng.jpg)
