Be carefull not to tighten this screw too much. You may cut the copper trace.  PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

You may use an isolating washer as well. They have been used for PC motherboards some time ago for the same reason. I should still possess plenty of them somewhere... 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |

Update .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) So finally, about 5 hours later... all the boards have been tested and are working perfectly! Inserted the CR2032 battery, set the RTC, screwed them into the case, flashed PicoMiteHDMIWEBV6.03.02b1.uf2, and then ran the hardware profiler program. All tests completed, including Wi-Fi. https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=19034&PID=258001#258001#258001 You’ll find the log on drive A:. I also stuck the chip’s unique ID under the case. That way, you can tell them apart. I’m not going to test all the VGA adapters right now. Tomorrow I’ll start packing the packages and printing the shipping labels. They might go out as early as Saturday, otherwise on Monday! So everything is going according to plan. Matthias ------------------------------------------------------------- Update: So endlich, ca. 5h später ... alle Boards sind getestet und funktionieren einwandfrei! CR2032 eingelegt, RTC gestellt, ins Gehäuse geschraubt, aufgespielt wurde PicoMiteHDMIWEBV6.03.02b1.uf2 und dann das hardware profiler Program laufen lassen. Alle Tests absolviert, incl. WLAN. https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=19034&PID=258001#258001#258001 Auf dem Laufwerk a: findet ihr das LOG. Ich habe auch die Chip unique ID unter das Gehäuse geklebt. So kann man die auseinanderhalten. Die VGA-Adapter teste ich jetzt nicht alle. Morgen geht es an das Pakete packen und die Versandetiketten. Evtl. gehen die Samstag schon raus, sonst am Montag! Läuft also nach Plan. Matthias |

Ja is denn heit scho Weihnacht'n? (Zitat Beckenbauer) Dass du dir so viel Mühe machst ist nicht selbstverständlich. Man weiß jetzt schon, dass man nur auspacken und loslegen kann. Darum jetzt schon mal meinen herzlichsten Dank. It's not self-evident that you put in so much effort. You already know that all you can do is unpack and get started. So now I would like to thank you very much. Best wishes! Joachim |

Matthias, many thanks for all the effort you did and still do put into that order for us. I wouldn't have expected you to act as the incoming QC department, but you do and you do it painstakingly.Many thanks again, Gerald 73 de OE1HGA, Gerald |

Hello Volhout, I'm planning to organize a group order after thoroughly testing the Pico Computer 3 and finding it to be a good product. If you're interested, please leave a comment here. I'll add you to the list. https://mikrocontroller.bplaced.net/wordpress/sammelbestellung-fuer-den-neuen-pico-computer-3/ Best regards, ManiB |

Hi Matthias, I’d like to thank you very much for your efforts. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, the five sets I ordered have already all been sold, but I’m planning to organize my own group order. https://mikrocontroller.bplaced.net/wordpress/sammelbestellung-fuer-den-neuen-pico-computer-3/ Best regards, ManiB |

UPDATE   Die Pakete sind gepackt, es fehlt nur noch das Füllmaterial, dann können sie morgen auf die Reise gehen! Bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten hat alles geklappt. Auch die Vorbestellung des Speichers und des WLAN-Moduls hat funktioniert. Ein kleines Problem habe ich aber noch. Neben kleineren Nebenkosten wie der Auslandsgebühr bei der Kreditkarte oder dem PayPal-Zuschlag – alles Lerngeld, dafür gab es vereinzelt auch Trinkgeld. Danke dafür! Die CR2032-Batterie geht daher auf mich! Doch bei dem HDMI2VGA-Adapter habe ich mich verkalkuliert. JLCPCB hat auch einen kräftigen Nachschlag gefordert. Am Ende komme ich jetzt auf den doppelten Preis. Anstatt 4,30 Euro sind es 8,60 Euro (MwSt. nicht vergessen). Da 4,30 Euro x 19 Stück aber 81,70 Euro ergeben, würde ich mich über eine Nachzahlung von den betroffenen Personen freuen. Vielen Dank! The packages are packed; all that’s missing is the packing material, and then they can be shipped tomorrow! Except for a few minor issues, everything went smoothly. Pre-ordering the storage device and the Wi-Fi module also worked out. I do still have one small problem, though. Aside from minor additional costs like the international credit card fee or the PayPal surcharge—all part of the learning process—I also received a few tips here and there. Thanks for those! So I’ll cover the cost of the CR2032 battery! But I miscalculated the cost of the HDMI-to-VGA adapter. JLCPCB also charged a hefty surcharge. In the end, the total cost has doubled. Instead of 4.30 euros, it’s now 8.60 euros (Don't forget the sales tax). Since 4.30 euros × 19 units equals 81.70 euros, I’d appreciate it if the people affected could cover the difference. Thank you very much!  Ganz zum Schluß noch ein Angebot für die Bastler. ACHTUNG ich habe aber nur 7 Sets zum abgeben und es sind noch nicht alle Teile eingetroffen! Daher hier schnell schreiben wer ein Selbstbau-Set für ein Breadboard Breakout Adapter in das Paket haben möchte, aber es geht dann später in den Versand. Ich hoffe die kommen am Samstag, laut Ankündigung. Ich habe einmal einen Vergleichsadapter mit 40 Pin neben den benötigten 30 Pin für den PC3 gelegt. Die Stecker sind echt schwer zu bekommen. IDE hatte glaube ich 32 PIN, die gibt es wie Sand am Meer. Selbstbau-Setpreis 5,- EUR One last thing for the DIYers. PLEASE NOTE: I only have 7 sets to give away, and not all the parts have arrived yet! So if you’d like a DIY kit for a breadboard breakout adapter included in your package, let me know here quickly, but it will be shipped later. I’ve included a 40-pin adapter next to the required 30-pin one for the PC3 for comparison. The connectors are really hard to find. I think IDE had 32 pins—those are a dime a dozen. DIY kit price: 5.00 EUR  Viel Spaß! Matthias |
