It’s The Final Countdown (I Hope)

The last version of the Morse Practice Oscillator has arrived. v2.04 StAR Edition (St Richards Amateur Radio club). They look really nice, and because I took the opportunity to panelise them, I got 20 of each board.

They snap off really easily, although the corners may need a minor bit of sanding, just to finish them off to a good standard. I was pleased to find that I’d reconfigured the micro switch footprint correctly! The base boards look much better with a single pin header on each side rather than a transistor.

For these boards, I chose the more expensive DHL shipping option on the JLCPCB website. I wanted the peace of mind of knowing I would definitely recieve the boards and it wouldn’t take weeks. As it was, I waited exactly a week, and that included the fabrication time.

I will be building one up over the weekend and testing all the features in preparation to publishing the design files as an update to the project previously published on the non-avr page.
