I received 51 Jaguar 0.7-alpha boards in all their green solder mask and gold plated solder pad glory along with the stainless steel stencil mounted on a sturdy aluminum frame.

PCBs with the stencil:


I am in the process of making a jig to hold the stencil and the PCBs so that I can apply the solder paste. After I complete this jig, I will be soldering together PCB #1 for bench testing and road testing on the FreeEMS S10

I will be placing the BOM parts kits orders on Monday, June 16th

Fred, MoZda and GURLB8:

I have run into a problem trying to purchase the 400kPa pressure sensors, Freescale discontinued them in the SOP-8 (8-SMD) footprint that I used on the Jaguar PCBs. They are now only available in the SSOP-8 package which is half the size of the SOP-8 package.

I can have adapter boards made to allow us to use the smaller SSOP-8 package 400kPa pressure sensors that ARE available, but that will add $10 USD to your respective orders.

Let me know if this is acceptable and I will design the adapter board and have them fabricated ASAP.

Hi Andy, that's perfectly ok with me, I'll get the money organised.

Cheers.

Happy to help with design review of the adaptor board prior to ordering! Lemme know when it's available to pick holes in :-)

After giving the adapter board design some thought and a few hours of collaboration with Fred, here is information on the SSOP-8 to SOP-8 adapter board we have designed and I have ordered:

In other news, I have been driving the S10 around with my Jaguar 0.7-alpha... I have been giving it a proper test and I can report the new high side driver is working properly to control the factory fuel pump relay.
