Can you not get measurements from the PCB drawing file used to drill the holes?

Nah. It's for testing fitting with the teensy controller

Does it have to be a "working" Phantom? Long story, but my Phantom doesn't work. I need to desolder the switches, but it has a Teensy on it. If you want it, I'd trade it to you for a couple bags of Korean springs. :D

Just curious, how did you mange to brick it jdcarpe? The only really fragile part on the whole phantom is the teensy daughterboard.

Read the instructions wrong and soldered the Teensy onto the board with the spacers on. Tried to desolder the Teensy using crap equipment. Took angle cutters to the legs. Ripped a trace or two out where the matrix joins the Teensy. :'( Tried to finish build with another Teensy. One column of switches sends MULTIPLE keypresses from all over the board. One column unresponsive.

Condolences to your first phantom. This round 2 PCB is just the thing you need.

Btw you might be able to repair the board if you solder a tiny wire from that trace to the the corresponding teensy pin. You might need more than crap equipment to do it though :/

Yes, I shared my sob story with bpiphany when I emailed him to ask permission for us to run the round 2 GB. I tried to jumper a small piece of wire from the trace to the Teensy leg, but got the above results. Must be more than one trace busted.

Anyway, no more tears. I'll have another PCB soon enough. Sending this one to boost, so he can design us a kick ass case for the Phantom!
