How do you make the MintyPi without the custom PCB

Post by Gardbj5 » Mon May 28, 2018 6:57 pm

We are new to making our own electronics and wanted to know how to make the MintyPi without the custom PCB since it is sold out. Is there a link with instructions? If it is not possible, when will the new batch of custom PCBs be coming in. Thanks so much for your help. :D

You don't? I mean I am not sure what you are asking here. I suppose you could hand wire everything to the Pi's GPIO? Maybe look at Wermy's first mintyPi build (I don't remember if he created a PCB at that time).

Wermy used a 3D print of the pcb shape and used copper tape.

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

You're going to have to make a dirty PCB, similar to what this guy did: https://sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=4014
