Great update burnin!

The holes are copper plated and conduct heat to the backside of the board where the heatsink will be placed.
I am just wondering if it would be better to have no solder mask directly under the ASIC chips heatsink side of board.

But i dont see any copper at the heatsink side of the pcb. How should the heat be transported to the heatsink? Is the thermal compound thought to fill in the holes, and find the way to the copper and find contact to the heatsink this way? I thought it would be better to have as much metal as possible transport the way from the chip to the heatsink and having a good contact with the heatsink.
Im not a tech guy so i wonder...

Onto what we'd like to see in the thread..

We've seen naked board pron, but what about a little beauty all blinged up with components and cheeky little ASICs   Cool

Be careful what you wish for, it might become true.





Solder paste Jet Printer - no stencils needed


Pick and Place my Jobs was run on


Pick and Place assembly of my board


Soldering in vapor phase.


Big black mean machine, does 20.000 components per hour.


I am literally DEAD now, I need sleep.
But the first tests show all power supplies working as expected, no magic smoke escaping, and thats what electronics is all about.

Hopefully burnin receives the Printed Circuit Boards soon.

I wonder why are there something like holes under the asic-chip-places? I know bkkcoins used vias to transport heat from the chips to the heatsink through the pcb. But here it looks like there are only empty holes and at the back side there is only bare pcb which is a very bad heat conductor. So are these holes filled with vias and its only not seeable?

21 boards here Smiley


Guys, don't clog up the thread with this stuff.

 The order website is all that's required.
Unconfirmed pledges in this thread are meaningless.

glad you like it.   Grin
Those boards did cost me a fortune though ~13BTC + ~5BTC in parts + ~5BTC for the assembly tomorow.
Development work with these schedules is expensive.

At least you can be sure that to make that money back. Wink

will be much better if everyone can confirm the quantity so he can order in bulk and get cheaper pricing.

That was the cost for 3 PCBs in express service.
Had to improvise because my assembly house was supposed to order them 2 weeks ago and just didn't.  Sad
Yes, I got rather loud on that meeting.  Cheesy

For the bulk series the cost is going to go down a _LOT_.  

So maybe you got the first three prototypes back before the weekend?
