How do the resistances of the FET’s compare to the ones used in the original East-092 ones?
Edit: Could you double check the Amazon links please? The PDF link is directing me to a zipped exe?
It’s ~23mOhms. Not sure about in the original East-092A on the same condition. I think East-092A is using different FETs. I think it small enough compare to the contact wires, springs, switch and battery resistances.
The .bat file needs to be modified IMHO if one installs the software/Zilog to a custom path.
Lets say I want to order the boards, which I don’t but, lets say, I still don’t see the files with PCB design that I could submit to OSHpark, seed, itead, …
I know there is a link floating in the previous thread to OSHpark if I’m not wrong. But can’t find it here and in the docs the link is hidden in the docx file, it did not get exported to the PDF.
I don’t mean to complain, just trying to help make it better so anyone can truly pick it up and go.
You can always get the latest IDE from Zilog. I guess 5.2.0 works too.
TiVo, you can check it, there is no need to put it into an installation package. You just copy the project to where ever you Zilog projects are. I don’t even keep projects where the IDE is.
1. Yes, one need to modify the .bat file if he install the software in another path. I recommend the default directory. One can make another copy in another directory.
2. The .docx file has the link to the OSHPark. On section A. Bill of Materials do a CTRL+Click on PCB-TiVo532-092A to follow the link. When in OSHPark, you can place an order. You do not need to submit anything. Just place an order.
Here’s a direct link: PCB-Tivo532-092A
3. I made it easier so that it’s a complete package. No need to go to the Zilog website unless you like to get the latest copy of the ZDS. Option B from the documentation shows where to download.
4. I’ll update the OP, so that’s clearer per you inputs! Cheers!
Hi Nitro!, I’m using this Weller tweezer and it makes soldering/desoldering surface mount devices so much easier. The model number is “WMRT” from Weller.
Too pricey for me! I’m using the one from our work lab. I wish I have one.
Soldering station with fine tips should work.
When soldering small parts, using soldering flux is a big help. Cheers!
i dont have the hot air gun yet either :( but on my list to get, what im thinking of is doing a batch of 5 in a mini oven ? ill do the hard side with the tiny parts and i can reflow the other by hand because its not so hard ill post my results later
Hey nitro. HF sells a heat gun that is often on sale for under $10. I've been using mine for a couple years both on flashlight stuff and on car body work (Rolling fendors, etc). Mine is beat all to heck and still kicking.
