First production-level 'Ohm' boards.

Hello again,

In last month's project update, I wrote about the redesign and testing of my 'Ohm' FPGA platform. This month, I am pleased to present some pictures of my first newly-assembled and tested (of what I now consider production-level) Ohm boards:

Here are a few close-ups of my Ohm in the rather slick-looking (in my humble opinion) transparent Adafruit case :)

So, this effectively concludes the (re)design and prototype test phase of my Ohm project (yay!). Things left to consider are:

1.) How many boards to make initially (which will in part help determine the final unit price)

2.) Finish off my User Guide for the Ohm platform (already begun, but not yet completed)

3.) Uploading of a new Youtube video of my re-designed Ohm board in action! :-D

Kindly keep an eye out for answers to the above in my next project update. Glad to finally get things to this point as it has been a long time coming. Thanks again for reading. :-)

Valentin

PS: Also last month, I hinted at the possibility of a releasing a second board based on my larger Ethernet-based variant. I have decided to create a separate .io project page for it in due course (time permitting)

Just expressing my interest in buying a couple too :)

Is there an easy way to stand up a simple marketplace to place orders? I'm not hip to what it means to do this, but surely there is something more sophisticated/tackable than email, or these postings, but less involved/costly than kickstarter, that can be used to allow folks to pledge to buy a board and know the costs up-front, and require negligible effort for the vendor. Does tindie do that? or do they take a big cut?

Are you sure? yes | no

Hello. Yes, that is exactly what Tindie is for! :) Further info can be found in their elegant FAQ section. I had briefly listed one of my (now retired, thanks to my previous PCB assembly house jacking up their costs after a second run was ordered.. an ordeal I care not to repeat) "FleaFPGA classic" projects up there so I am somewhat familiar with their process. Cheers, Valentin

If I am not too late to be a "me too", I'd take one. Let me know price and shipping to USA. Thanks!

You are not too late. Thanks for your interest - as soon as I am ready will do :) Cheers.

Yes, this board looks really nice (and quite a powerful FPGA)! Love the form factor for an FPGA board (and being able to use an "off the shelf" case is a nice plus too). I am sure I will want a couple of these also. :-)

You can count me in too , for at least 1 or 2 boards :)

Are you sure? yes | no

Great job I'll order a few once available, any idea on price???

Are you sure? yes | no

Valentin Angelovski wrote 09/02/2017 at 15:03

Thanks :) Working on all of that now.

Are you sure? yes | no

Great job! I'm interested to order you one piece of this board. Please let we know when it will available.

Are you sure? yes | no

Excellent. I will order 4 of them. Thanks for this wonderful work !!

Are you sure? yes | no

looks great, love the form factor, I have been checking everyday to make sure I don't miss ordering one or two of these when available.

Are you sure? yes | no

Rise (again) of the 'Flea zero' board!

FleaFPGA 'Ohm' now launched on Indiegogo! :-D
