Got my order from SmallBear in today.  Got my order from mklec last week.  Got a couple MN3007's and a couple MN3101's from forum members.  Making my Mouser and BLMS orders soon too.  Can't wait for this to drop!

Started melting down all those pennies I saved...now I have one piece of single sided 3x3 copper clad.

What's the award for etching all of paradise?

What's the award for etching all of paradise?

You might etch them all if you are super motivated, but I doubt anyone could ever build them all. At least, it would take a couple of years. Shoot, I probably could offer an award for the first person to successfully build them all!

Anyway, I have a lot on my plate for the remainder of July but I will start getting these up in August. I think I will do them in piecemeal...maybe one category at a time. The build docs alone will take some 150-200 hours to write I'm estimating.

If there is that much, you could put the collection together and make a book out of it.
I'd buy it.

That's actually not a terrible idea. If there were a bean bible available with all of the build docs I'd also be in. Just to have the schematics etc... I already have a functional equivalent of my own in a binder with plastic protectors but an official version would be killer. I think it's relatively easy to put one's book out on amazon, however I don't know what their terms are, i.e. we'll print your book but all your pdfs are belong to us...

Yup! I would certainly spend money on that. PDF version and hard copy!

+1 on the Bean Bible. What a marvelous idea. I'd buy that. Perhaps a special appendix of PnP transfers. In book form as well there would be less pressure to create updated layouts year by year.

August is here!  Woohoo!  Any hints on what category or partial category will drop first?  I'm excited for these updated layouts... can't wait to go over the BOMs to prep my next tayda and mouser orders.

In the meantime I'm gonna make a madbean order too.  Need a Nom Nom

i have already order some cooper clads to get some etched... cant wait..

Hey quick question...  since a lot of these projects already have older build docs, and it's the build docs and layouts that are being updated, but not the circuits themselves, that means I can start putting together a shopping list from the current BOMs available, right?  I mean, the resistors and caps and ICs aren't changing are they?

Brian, its gonna be crazy all the docs, but can i ask for the solder mask??, for those as me, that use soldermask with the etched boards its a great thing, specially if the boeards are tight..


i really waiting of the stuff
