@bjacobse
Here you can find The instruction of creating GERBER production files
I also added gerber files to the project.

I have uploaded the .brd file to OSH Park pcb manufacturing company.
you can sign up with them, and search for jModule.
and order the board for $3.20 for 3 boards
Hope this helps somebody.

@cvanandel Maybe my mistake but i'm not able to find it ....on OSH park

[cvanandel]

I had forgotten to Share, I just did, so give it a little time, and the system should update.

[cvanandel]

@AWI
I just checked the board is now available under shared projects.

Hi, really nice project.

Are there any possibilitys to create a 5x5 PCB with perforation, so that more jmodules fits on it? That would be great when ordering from dirtypcb's, because you have more pieces from just one Slice.
I have no skills with eagle or something, so i can't do it by myself :(.

Regards.

Hi, I've receive first order, and for some reason i got pin 8 connected to the ground on all 3 pcbs I ordered. Not a big deal since I do not use pin8, but I didn't see pin8 connected to ground on either of Eagle files.
Did anyone got same or similar thing?

[Dwalt]

@dakipro
I got three boards from OshPark and pin 8 is connected to ground on all three.

[cvanandel]

@Dwalt
Pin 8 on the Module is Ground, and Pin 7 is VCC, these Pins do not get connected to the Mini Pro
But they come out the side on the angle connector as IO

[Dwalt]

Ahh, I see now. The side facing pins are mapped as follows:

[dakipro]

Ok, right, I see now... My bad (as usual :disappointed: ) World is great again :)

Any chance you will be creating a 'panelized' version of this board? With these small sizes 4 boards can be fitted on a 5 by 5cm board, while still keeping the same price. I'd be happy to order a few if that's available!

[cvanandel]

@aproxx

I have not, nor do not claim to have designed this module, the module was designed by julisses.
All credit for this board goes to julisses.
The only thing i did was to send his .brd file to OSH Park, so there was a local company we could order the board from.
So if there are any changes required to the board, please contact julisses.

Sorry if there was a misunderstanding.

can you supply osh park link. can't find it.

Am I right in thinking you can use any voltage regulator with this as long as the three pins are correct. Looking at the pinout on the AMS1117 I don't think that tab is an output and not got anything to open the design files with to confirm if its connected to anything. I've got plenty of LE33ACZ which I'm hoping to use.

OSH Park link HERE
Noticed there search box doesn't come up on certain browsers as well.

[cvanandel]

@Qu3Uk
I do not think that pad goes anywhere either, here is the Eagle layout picture.

@bassmint thanks for the link. just ordered some.

here it is for any others who can't find it

@Qu3Uk I can confirm (from measuring a sample) that the large pad is not connected to anything.

However :smirk: it is hard to beat the price of an AMS1117 and the AMS1117 SOT-223 package also has smaller thermal resistance compared to the LE33ACZ TO-92 package (all for what its worth ;-) )

[Qu3Uk]

@AWI Wow they are cheap - Perhaps we should get them added to the MYS Store - I need to use up the ones I've got before shipping more stuff half way around the world :D
