I was just curious.
The mini is "almost" the perfect for what I want do....
However,
- I don't need all the pin outs.
- There are no mounting holes.
- For the pin outs that I do need, I'd like to add a ground nearby as required.
3a. The pins would ideally use some type of right angle friction lock connector.
So my question.
-
How many of these boards would I need to make to get a similar cost per board to the ~19 bucks for the mini.
-
Assuming that my surface mount soldering skills sucks. Is there someone that will print and solder the boards to my specs? At a hobby or production level.
Finally, I tried to play with Eagle, which appears to have a personal vindetta against me.
Is there another program that make the files required to send some place like batchpcb? Or that can work with eagle files?
Or is there a find a freelancer type spot for eagle gurus? What would I be looking at one a cost for someone to modify the existing mini-arduino eagle files to something that I can send off.
Ideally, I'd like to keep the cost of the mini-like clone to under 30 bucks.
The cheaper the better.
Thanks for any help. I'm very knew to the circuit scene. But I have alot of things I'd like to make.
