A little auto body shop filth never hurt anyone, right? Right?!?

So, while waiting on my PCBs for my HDI-45 adapters, I loved onto the next batch that seemed to be in decent shape, a pair of IIci and a pair of IIcx machines. Unfortunately, one of the Iicx machines was battery bombed, so I'll have to see what I can salvage from it (I've already pulled the...

Had some things I needed to order so I added some connectors into my Digikey order. Hopefully will be here next week and I can make the cable and test it.

Makes sense. Hopefully not flashing the firmware too often. And for context, I just have done something incorrect when trying to use my own parts for the JST connectors on JLCPCB because when the boards helped up, everything was populated (including the LEDs that I swapped in because they were...

So, I had some back and forth with JLCPCB trying to see how strict they would be with the logo. I tried to use a slightly different Apple logo with a smaller bite taken out, hoping I could use the excuse that it was not THE Apple Logo. They still did not allow it. I came up with two options...

So the are all the pins connected on the outside of the Pico? Does that mean my mis-ordered batch that don't have the JST connector will be fine without it?

Sure. I don't have the connectors yet, so it may be a while before I get the cables made., if that's OK. I try to batch up my Digikey / Mouser orders to make the shipping less painful.

Which version are you looking for? I have 4 of the internal and 5 of the external. Adding up my costs, the boards, fully assembled were $13 each. The ESP32s were $6.50 each. I'd be willing to give them to you at cost, so $20 each? Plus whatever shipping ends up being. Where are you...

I have some as well. I just swapped out my Cameo/Aphid for one because I never liked having to have a UISB cable running out the back. I did print a cover that made it more palatable, but the full internal connection, and the alignment of the activity LED, as well as the cost makes it an...

OK, I swapped out the part for the HD-15 connector with a footprint for the actual Amphenol part I ordered, adjusted a things, and ordered a batch of both boards. It was relatively cheap to go from 5 to 20 boards, so I will likely have extras, assuming everything goes smoothly with these...

That explains it. I must have misread the post from earlier about the behavior.

The JLCPBC order of my very early design (no diode, HD-15 right angle connector. One thing I learned and will adjust before the final version is that apparently the HD15 templates in Eagle for the connectors are not universal (rookie mistake). I had to bend the two outer rows outward to fit...

I definitely have plenty of ugly cases, some with intact tabs. The feet are another story. The guy I bought them from handed me a bag of feet when I picked them up. I've had good luck with the ones with broken tabs using a liberal amount of hot glue inside the feet to keep them in place...

Yeah, it's actually coming back closer to my original idea of an adapter. Originally, I was trying to come up with a way to build a 2 PCB adapter (one with just the HDI-45 pins, then a bunch of wires connecting them to the HD-15 or DA-15 connector. That soldering job would have been a...

Where are you located? I have a couple DOS compatible cards and some dirty 6100s that I'm probably going to be selling soon.

I'm making both. The DOS Compatible card Y cable expects DA-15 input so I can't use a VGA connector (unless I build a VGA to DA-15 adapter). Given it simple enough to make the DA-15 version, this will be for people that have DOS Compatible cards or want to hook up to a vintage Mac CRT. I did...

As I've been testing my 3d printing design skills and test fitting some pieces, I'm starting to think that the 19mm pins may be perfect. With the shroud I printed, I think it will sit just right with the pins, and I will likely extend the area behind the DA-15 / HD-15 connector to provide just...

OK, I got my longer 2mm pitch header pins, as well as some round machine pin headers. The machine pin headers are a bit shorter, at about 11mm total length. The square pin headers are 19mm total length. I wasn't sure if the machine pin headers would be a good fit, because the closest...

Agreed on the 5 minimum. However, at JLCPCB's pricing, it's easier to swallow. And I've gotten into the habit of trying to build out enough I can give them to other Vintage Mac people at cost. Like what Colin did with the SE/30 reloaded board, but on a much smaller scale. It is nice to...

I was hoping you wouldn't notice that! Between the missing JST connectors and the green PCBs, I feel like I must have submitted the wrong order. I might have to design a full enclosure case for the internals and print it in blue filament! A thousand apoloigies! Unfortunately, I have 30 of...
