se6astianfelix_: about the breakout board, do I understand correctly that you would like to get one and that it would help you greatly with development?11:33
felix_yeah, having a breakout board would be quite useful. ist it a 2 or 4 layer board? i'll be ordering pcbs today or tomorrow anyway, so i could also just order some of those as well and 2 layer boards are likely cheaper than shipping a breakout board12:12
Bertlyou still need the PCIe connectors and a bunch of pin headers12:13
Bertlbut yes, it is a 2 layer board12:13
felix_ok, then i'll just order 10 of those. is PCIE_dual_breakout_2L_v0.2 the current version?12:14
Bertlyup12:15
Bertljust double check that there are holes for the connector pegs12:15
felix_and if anyone in DE needs one of the spare breakout boards, i'd ship them one12:15
felix_yeah, i'll have a look at the generated gerbers12:16
felix_lol, jlcpcb wants 2$ for all 10 of the breakout boards12:22
se6astianwucher!12:22
felix_hehe12:22
felix_i'm still surprised how they manage to get the quality at the price point and still treat their employees reasonably well12:23
vup2yep jlcpcb has amazingly low prices12:24
vup2even 4 layer boards are really cheap12:24
felix_yep, that's why the revision 2 of my qspimux has 4 layers ;)12:26
vup2too bad they don't go beyond 6 layers12:26
vup2but still even 6 layer boards are like $10 for 10 boards at 100*100mm12:28
vup2*$10 per board at 10 boards12:28
se6astianI am just collecting offers for pcbs (oshpark spec equivalent) from austrian manufacturers and they charge between 1000 - 3000€ per panel....12:29
vup2yeah i have not found anything remotely close to jlc in terms of price, especially for 4/6 layers12:30
se6astiandoes jlc provide e-tests as well?12:31
felix_jlc doesn't offer fr408 though12:31
felix_it does e-tests12:31
vup2but they do atleast do controlled impedance at no additional cost12:32
se6astianah etest is already included: https://support.jlcpcb.com/article/50-e-test12:33
tpbTitle: E-Test - JLCPCB: Help & Support (at support.jlcpcb.com)12:33
se6astiannot bad12:33
felix_when i ordered 400 2 layer boards, they only did e-test on a sample, but for a few dollars more they would also have done full e-test on all boards. didn't need that for that project though12:33
vup2i think for 4 layer they always do full e-test12:33
felix_yeah, i also remember it like that12:34
vup2atleast when selecting 4 layer the only option displayed on the website is `full test`12:35
se6astianyes, just tried the quote tool12:36
felix_only issue i had with boards from them was that on an order maybe 6 years ago one of the 10 pcbs had a slight offset between copper and solder mask and i found out when probing something on the board and accidentially shorting a power rail to ground. the other 9 boards were fine12:37
se6astianinsane: 5 full sized panels (similar to the austrian ones): 250€ (including shipping)12:37
felix_vup2: if you need more layers, a special stackup or hdi stuff http://multech-pcb.com/ might be worth a look12:38
tpbTitle: Multech PCB technologies Co.,Ltd (at multech-pcb.com)12:38
felix_i had a customer ordering boards there, but haven't ordered there myself yet12:39
vup2wtf 14 layer flex boards12:41
vup2(thanks will keep it in mind if i ever need more layers)12:41
Bertlwhen you want to make a floppy main board :)12:42
felix_on how to order there, it might be a good idea to poke azonenberg in ##openfpga12:42
felix_he used multech for some designs that needed hdi12:43
BertlI do not even get a web page ...12:43
Bertl(i.e. it is still loading here ...)12:43
vup2ah that must have been where i saw them linked a while ago12:44
vup2yes i think a full flex mainboard is definitely a must :)12:44
felix_.oO(impedance controlled multilayer rigid-flex board to connect the image sensor to the board) ;)12:47
felix_and then add some spartan7 in csp package as gearbox to get the full frame rate out of the sensor ;p12:48
vup2who needs rigid flex, go flex all the way :)12:49
felix_some camera vendor uses rigid-flex for connecting the camera sensor to the camera; don't remember which one it was, but i saw the board at the wuerth electronic booth at some event12:50
felix_wuerth is also a good pcb fab, but it's not really on the cheap side12:51
vup2https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_electronics#/media/File:Olympus_Stylus.jpg12:53
tpbTitle: Flexible electronics - Wikipedia (at en.wikipedia.org)12:53
se6astianlooks like the latest camera design from the 80ies12:54
vup2yep12:54
Bertlbtw, OSHpark does a flex run now too12:55
vup2yes saw that12:57
felix_hmm, for small designs in small runs that might be interesting12:58

felix_after using kicad for quite some time, i find the eagle gerber export quite annoying. used the hackvana cam file for eagle 7 in the end...21:38

felix_Bertl_oO: is it intended that the pcie-style connectors and the pin headers are on different sides of the pcb?!21:49
felix_iirc the board in vienna had all connectors on one side21:49
Bertl_oOyeah, no worries, you get the one with connectors on the same side :)21:49
Bertl_oOthe design is suitable for both21:50
Bertl_oOconnectors are labeled on both sides21:50
felix_ok, so i can just order the board as-is21:50
Bertl_oOyup21:50
Bertl_oOyou want to put the pin headers on the other side when using the TE0714 board21:51
Bertl_oObecause it will be too large to access them easily when on the same side21:51
felix_ah, ok, makes sense21:51
* felix_ just ordered 4 different pcb designs :) and also encountered weird bug where i'm not sure if it's a kicad gerber export bug or a jlcpcb gerber viewer bug :/ found an easy workaround though22:50
