Will this work?

Looks like this is a negative in the worky department. The board is 100mm (3.93 in) wide, 120 mm (4.72 in) long, this box is only 3.5in wide, so the PCB won't fit.

Looks like it requires breaking two traces and creating two trace. See below.

Orange zig zags are breaks, and green is new.

No, its just a brigde. You need to join the 5v net (resistor side) with the unpowered(?) VDDPLL net. VDDPLL is fine, but unconnected to the 5v net. No need to cut traces.

I'll update the above graphic when I get a chance. I'll have to look closer at the schematic to see what the changes are. I looked at the before and after PCB traces.

Look at Spin1, highlight 5v net, and then highlight VDDPLL net. Those 2 nets should be connected.

When I finish the website I'm putting this info there.

web developing is taking me time from bdm developing. but both are necessary stuff.

It would appear that puma.freeems.org is not a wiki. Is that correct? I can offer to help some with web stuff. Have you seen Amaya? It's kind of handy for fast WISIWYG layout, not as good as it could be, but not a bad option for cranking out html on the quick quick.

I'm writing another page to put all the information related to puma together, it would replace the actual page you saw.

It has:
* board specs
* images
* documentation
* ordering

There is some software information infiltrated, that I like less every time I think about it.

BTW, I'm not totally sure about how to organize the hardware documentation. I believe a User Manual in one side, and the really technical information on the other side should cover most, if not all, the documentation needed.

Jared, the documentation on that site will be done with git, so it will also be on github along with the code. Then you'll be able to fork it, make changes, push, send pull requests, the usual stuff and Marcos and/or I can pull it in and push it up to the server. I tried to set this up a few days ago, but failed to get it working right... I'll have another crack, maybe tomorrow, as it needs to be done so that I'm not in the loop and he can update it freely.

I plan other subdomains of freeems.org and diyefi.org to be distributed in a similar way. Not all of them, but many. I know you're good with documentation, so I've been thinking about how to make it accessible to you for a long time now.

I might setup a github account just for the documentation so it doesn't obfuscate the real projects.

Fred.

I'm this close to stalk you to the death until you setup your servers. jharvey is most valuable doc-wise, and I don't like to bug you for little changes in the documentation.

btw, could you rename the thread as Puma board for FreeEMS? or just Puma board.

Nevermind.
