Well my boards came in today and the holes were too small for the legs on the connector :/ I know you already ordered a set, so, sorry about that. However I was still able to solder one together anyway and verify that electrically it works. If you use flux, the solder will wick down the hole a

OK this version should be good. If you want to wait I'll order a set and check it out. But I think it's pretty likely to be ok now. https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/Yw7tRYf7 -- bkw On 7/7/20 7:29 PM, Gary Weber wrote: Brian, that looks to be a great solution actually!  I may indeed have Osh

No worries Brian. Consider me your alpha tester when you get it finished though, I'll order it and let you know how things turn out. Gary On Tue, Jul 7, 2020 at 4:32 PM Brian K. White wrote: > Don't rush to actually order this one just yet! I think I made the holes > too small for the through

Don't rush to actually order this one just yet! I think I made the holes too small for the through-hole connector. I forgot I was supposed to check the actual connector before finishing up. -- bkw On 7/7/20 7:29 PM, Gary Weber wrote: Brian, that looks to be a great solution actually!  I may in

Brian, that looks to be a great solution actually! I may indeed have Oshpark build me one. Yes it does require USB power and I've been trying to figure out how to supply that by alternate means. I believe the WiModem232 with OLED would draw way too much current to power from a BCR port though.

Looking at the wimodem... how about this? https://oshpark.com/projects/1DZoRBEt Untested since I just drew it up now. It acts as a male-male gender-changer for the rs232 pins, connecting pin2 to pn2, 3 to 3 etc, for pins 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,20,22 The WiModem stands up instead of projecting out o
