I wonder if they'd be interested in injecting some cash/manufacturing/technical assistance into neo900
<
ndnihil>
though I think I might be forced to play with a cat s60 until this one comes out
<
ndnihil>
I love my standlone FLIR, having one on the phone would rock
<
DocScrutinizer05>
cat s60 looks cool, yes
<
DocScrutinizer05>
and actually I pondered similar things about Nokia
<
DocScrutinizer05>
about the FLIR in that s60 i'm not entirely convinced about the quality
<
ndnihil>
the lepton is actually supposed to be pretty decent
ravelo has joined #neo900
<
DocScrutinizer05>
but yeah, definitely a cool thing. I already have plans for my FLIR Neo900 addon
<
ndnihil>
I've got a modded e4, which basically removes the firmware cripple on resolution (and adds a shitload of new features)
<
ndnihil>
turns a $1k FLIR into a $3k FLIR
<
DocScrutinizer05>
wow
<
DocScrutinizer05>
thanks a lot
<
ndnihil>
though I seem to recall reading something about the newer units being patched against the modification
<
DocScrutinizer05>
it has such note in first post, yes
<
DocScrutinizer05>
well, 1.22 whatever that is nowadays
<
ndnihil>
ah, downgradable, so that's good
<
ndnihil>
but still some issues
<
ndnihil>
glad I got mine when I did
<
ndnihil>
but yeah, the lepton in the s60 is supposed to be better than this sensor
<
DocScrutinizer05>
LOL @ x-ray
<
ndnihil>
which is pretty decent for the price
<
ndnihil>
I mean, you do see -some- detail in the right circumstances, that you wouldn't otherwise in standard human vision wavelengths
<
DocScrutinizer05>
the video in that link you gave
<
ndnihil>
but you'd stll be better off perving through a high quality camera with the IR filter pulled, and used in sunlight
<
ndnihil>
ah, I haven't read through that thread in years
<
DocScrutinizer05>

dude has fun toys
<
ndnihil>
that ellsworth chick has/had a SEM in her garage at some point
<
ndnihil>
that would be a lot of fun too
<
ndnihil>
but I do wish she'd focus on getting me my castAR
<
amatus>
i know a guy with a SEM
<
ndnihil>
I scan the academic/scientific auction sites every so often for them
<
ndnihil>
gah, 2300x
<
ndnihil>
my optical setup can only feed 800x into my D90
<
ndnihil>
or was it 400x
<
ndnihil>
father in law wanted me to have a go at recovering his s3
<
ndnihil>
a year after he got into a pool with it in his pocket
<
ndnihil>
that was just the cmos cam for it, didn't bother with the nikon
<
ndnihil>
that was after a very gentle brushing with a soft bristled toothbrush
<
ndnihil>
to get the corrosion off
<
ndnihil>
knocked at least half those components off
<
ndnihil>
I'm guessing the more corroded pads are what caused the final failure
<
DocScrutinizer05>
yeah, that's what you get from water and PCB under voltage

ahycka has done a few boards pretty dense
<
ceene>
but we've never calculated how much area is populated with components
<
DocScrutinizer05>
good, we will need that for the final design, for proto_v2 the UPPER board can be of arbitrary size, to simplify layout
<
DocScrutinizer05>
also proto_v2 has no SoC etc at all, we connect the protoboard to a BB-xM for that
<
DocScrutinizer05>
so the layout should be relatively relaxed for proto_v2
<
DocScrutinizer05>
the goal for proto_v2 is to electrically/logically verify all the new stuff we got
<
ceene>
miniaturization can come after that
<
DocScrutinizer05>
exactly
<
ceene>
how many layers are expected for proto_v2 and final?
<
DocScrutinizer05>
proto_v2 a 4-layer would be great
<
DocScrutinizer05>
for final we expect to need at least 4 layers for LOWER and 8 layers for UPPER
<
ceene>
4 layers is a moderately simple design
<
DocScrutinizer05>
TI claims you could do the OMAP BGA breakout with 6 layers, but... meh
<
ceene>
i know altium does some magic with bga footprints
<
DocScrutinizer05>
that's highly appreciated
<
ceene>
but maybe that requires a more expensive manufacturing technology, class 8 vs class 7
<
DocScrutinizer05>
that's exactly the point: for final we need to check what our PCB house can do
<
DocScrutinizer05>
and for how much ;-)
<
ceene>
where are you manufacturing?
<
DocScrutinizer05>
tbh I have no clue where Nikolaus got the PCB from
<
ceene>
i can provide prices for some boards we've done, just have to look at old receipts
<
DocScrutinizer05>
those are prolly for a bazillion of boards
<
ceene>
we do very small batches
<
DocScrutinizer05>
we only need 10 to start with, then later on 500 or 1000
<
ceene>
less than ten each time
<
DocScrutinizer05>
ooh
<
DocScrutinizer05>
ok
<
DocScrutinizer05>
:-)
<
ceene>
biggest drawback of our manufacturer is starting price
<
ceene>
a new order is at least ~1000 euros
<
DocScrutinizer05>
yeah, 1mm pitch
<
ceene>
but they do a pretty exhaustive verification of the design
<
DocScrutinizer05>
we got 0.4mm iirc
<
DocScrutinizer05>
yeah, those costs are expected
<
ceene>
well. altium doesn't care, it's just a matter of defining minimum line width and other constraints, such as via size, etc
<
DocScrutinizer05>
exactly, and to get to know what is the min line width the PCB manuf can handle safely
<
ceene>
that's right
<
DocScrutinizer05>
particularly in-pad vias, capped
<
DocScrutinizer05>
buried vias, etc
<
DocScrutinizer05>
I guess a in-pad via design is way more reliable than interleaved offset vias in a FPBGA
<
ceene>
this is our manufacturer, i think their design rules are somewhere on the site
<
DocScrutinizer05>
great
<
DocScrutinizer05>
i'll ask Nikolaus about the same
<
ceene>
the one that populates the components is another company
<
ceene>
for bga we've been told no vias under pads
<
DocScrutinizer05>
yeah, we have GC for that
<
DocScrutinizer05>
o.O
<
DocScrutinizer05>
only capped vias, yes
<
DocScrutinizer05>
open vias, even plugged vias are an absolute nogo
<
DocScrutinizer05>
\o/
<
ceene>
boards themselves are quite cheap in the end
<
ceene>
first batch though is expensive
<
ceene>
i'll try and find some receipts tomorrow for different circuits
<
DocScrutinizer05>
thanks
<
DocScrutinizer05>
I wonder if we get away with CLASS6 for final
<
DocScrutinizer05>
don't see stacked microvias
<
DocScrutinizer05>
well, they are a mess anyway, aiui
<
DocScrutinizer05>
also don't see capped vias but I'm sure they can do this
paulk-collins has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<
ceene>
yes, no problem
<
DocScrutinizer05>
well, actually I think it's 'plated vias'
<
ceene>
i think they can do almost anything
<
DocScrutinizer05>
yeah, the min track width and min via diameter and ratio are looking good, the rest is basically derived values
<
DocScrutinizer05>
ratio up to 13 is extremely good aiui
<
ceene>
well, my n900 is crying out for power, so i should go to sleep and recharche myself too
<
ceene>
the other thing sounds too french
<
ceene>
i'm sure it exists
<
DocScrutinizer05>
I should finally change that crying dieing HDD
<
ceene>
i had one hdd that crashed miserably
<
ceene>
put them out
<
ceene>
two weeks later it started working again flawlessly
<
DocScrutinizer05>
wow
<
ceene>
never failed again... i won't ever understando how or why
<
DocScrutinizer05>
mine has 24 bad sectors meanwhile
<
ceene>
that's not too bad
<
DocScrutinizer05>
it's not, if those bad sectors where always there
<
ceene>
unless 24 more follow those, and over and over
<
DocScrutinizer05>
it started with 12, then 18 then 24
<
DocScrutinizer05>
iirc
<
DocScrutinizer05>
during 2 days
<
ceene>
that's only an arithmetic progression
<
ceene>
it can go like that for a year
<
DocScrutinizer05>
sure
<
DocScrutinizer05>
I nevertheless will swap it for a RAID1(?) of two decens enterprise grade server disks
<
DocScrutinizer05>
alas I already bought them, learned about HGST only later
<
ceene>
you may be interested in that
<
ceene>
just read it today
<
ceene>
oh, that's it
<
ceene>
well, this thing is gonna shut off, so night night!
<
DocScrutinizer05>
n8 ceene
<
DocScrutinizer05>
well, I hope the seagate will behave. If not, I got a RAID and a hardware shop nearby
<
DocScrutinizer05>
...a RAID, and a...
