Next thing will be writing the software for the AVR mcu so I know what to do for the next couple of days

What do you use for writing?
I use Bascom most of the time...

I use Codevision AVR (C-Compiler), the configuration utility will be written in Delphi

Yeah Dennis you are the man!

I think you are the best PCB builder on the forum.

To calm you down a little bit for the hard soldering Job you did today I will post some photo's of the Brick in action.

Let there be light!

(ps all photos are taken with the normal light on and a little bit of smoke. dont look at the mess. I always make mess when I work)

Thanks

Awesome control board! Do you order the pcb's from a manufacturer, or do you have access to multilayer machines? Either way, really good job. The brick is pure

[SrS]

It is a dual layer pcb manufactured by Olimex. They can’t produce advanced boards (multiple layer or very fine pitch) but for my purpose it is enough. It sure looks better than a home etched pcb and I doubt it would be much cheaper.

where did you bought the control board? i need something like that!!

@DJlorenz: If you read just under the most right of the blue pots, you see it's made by Dennis himself.
Brick Controller 2010 it says....

@SrS: well done, very very professional and good looking.
Waiting for the 3 channel version ;-)
