MWESTON: Thank You for suggestion. I never designing PCB yet (OK, as teenage by hand with help of permanent pen and acid). I simply forgot to extend width of traces pads... Next try, should be better: tinyBoBv0.3.zip --- Other though - I'll managed to remove pads from other side. So I...

Today (tonight) I'll requesting calculation. I expect some negotiation with technician to be sure that everything is OK and they get it right. It could take about 3 weeks to manufacture - although I hope that it'll be done sooner...

OK, I managed to redesign PCB. Here it is (DesignSpark PCB file, gerber files, drill machine files and bmp export). No silk screen yet and I think it is stay as it is - board could be soldered upside down and then silk screen do bear service (as we say) - better to use brain for figuring signals...

I think that guys trying to say that switches attached to GPIOs should be connected to 1.8 V pin, instead of ground. But I'm not sure too, just guessing :-)

Today I have a phone with company. Anything is possible, even tiny drilled PCB with cut-out for cable. They just need gerber files drill plane for calculation. Tomorrow I'll redesigning tinyBoB as previous one is really weird. I'll ask things like non-solder protective film. I don't know how...

No luck. I stuck in work - just break to see family and eat some food. :-(

I'm using shielded cable with 7 wires (7 + shielding). Hmm... I'll test signal on 10 m long cable tonight.

I think that press 2 buttons simultaneously should be enough - Yes, SW must tolerate some time delay. I can imagine even more complex solution with recognition short, long and very long pressing and even one button pressed and second clicked... But Yes if there is (for example) button A, B and...

We can have something like: 1/ 2 GPIOs instead of UART3 = 4 states -> 3 buttons (1, 2, both 1 + 2) 2/ 4 GPIOs instead of UART2 = 16 states -> 15 buttons 3/ 6 GPIOs instead of both UART2 and UART3 = 64 states -> 63 buttons But it probably demand some gates that short proper lines for...

OK. I design it in Design Spark PCB SW. It is good and easy to use piece of SW. I try to get out gerber files and even BMP export. Feel free to comment and suggest improvement. This is "twin" design which consist of 2 tinyBoBs designed on one board to get lesser costs. Scissors will finish it. I...

IIRC problem is amount of cables which have to build in one batch. Initially it was stated as a few thousands (about 2 I guess), then (after earthquake propheted by ED) amount in one batch was changed to 10 thousands. 10 thousand of TV out cables - aside amount itself - cost too much. So...

+1 OK. According to MWeston clarification in EXT port connectors thread - It is not needed to add mixing capacitor for converting S-Video to Composite video signal. This mean: 1/ Composite (RCA) cables needn't any complication then straight lines 2/ Such composite cables will produce...

^ Thanks for confirmation! I think that it is just like this. :-)

I have other though on mind. Is possible to write script for setting video output into composite mode, so on "Y" pin is complete composite signal? I think, that I read something like this in very deep history, but I'm not sure :-) I'm wonder what is schematic of official TV out cable. IIRC...

I'm sorry: SHIT! This is small as... duno, appropriate English idiom, but damn small. OK. cable works, monochrome yet. Tomorrow today I going to find needed capacitor and solder this last thing. Then I'll finish tiniBoB drawing and demand its manufacturing. I can solder it, but it it is...

I need to make and test few prototypes. I just building first. But EXT port connector is really tiny and I'm afraid about soldering directly on it. It seem that "tinyBoB" (a small piece of PCB inserting) will be "must have" - mainly due to be sure that cable don't break easily.

Thank You very much and feel free ask more money if You loss on shipping. :-)

I just get 2 letters :) 2 letters, 60 connectors each. Yupee!

If I understand correctly, then there is no chance for some tweaking or hack to get 800 × 600 resolutin (even blurry) trough TV-out. So the best in which we could hope is PAL 720 × 576. Actually, I don't really care, my TV is rubbish anyway. :-)

If I want to get something like this, then it must have pause/continue key. Shutdown key will be nice. Although actual key meaning should be configured. :-) --- What is this and where to get it? I never see something like this before.
