2 mm pitch SMT headers are expensive!
03/13/2016 at 15:31 • 0 commentsFor some reason, 2 mm pitch surface mount female headers, as required by the nRF51822 Core boards are ridiculously expensive, at least at DigiKey. This is the cheapest I found, and it's €2 each, and I need two. They'll cost as much as the core board!
I found cheaper through-hole headers at E-bay, like these, which are €3.4 for 10!
However, I forgot to update my PCB layout to use through-hole headers before ordering, so I'll have to buy some expensive surface mount ones anyway. €8 for two boards, ouch!
Does anyone have a source for inexpensive 2 mm pitch female surface mount 2 x 9 headers?

Schematic and Board files pushed to GitHub
03/03/2016 at 20:49 • 0 commentsI have now pushed the Eagle schematic and board layout files toa new GitHub Repository.
I think the files are ready to be sent off to be manufactured. It'll be a few days before I send the files, I have some other PCBs I want to send at the same time.
