[IC] Phantom PCB

[bavman]

We've gotten a go-ahead to use the Phantom PCB designs to run a GB.
We'll only be running just the PCBs, no controllers/switches/plates/diodes.
Switches and diodes are fairly common to find/source, and teensy controllers can be bought from  PJRC electronics: http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/index.html

Pricing is yet to be announced until I hear back from pcbwing, until then, the original GB ended up being $35.


Here are reference threads to info about the plate:

Phantom PCB board borrowed form Litster:

YUUUUUUUUUP

[kmiller8]

YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[korne]

I'm interested for sure

[tjcaustin]

If I could find a good case, this would quell my urge to get a tkl korean board, I think.

[Acetrak]

That urge doesn't die after it starts


Question, are these PCB's going to be exactly the same as the ones from the original Phantom GB?

Any potential add on to this GB for cases?

[bavman]

nvm

[Shadovved]

Just get the korean tkl and laugh at the world 

[tjcaustin]

But this is equally exclusive.  And I can read the instructions and I don't have to know a korean to get one ordered or get stupid lucky like I did with my mxmini and 356mini...



Just need a good case for these.  Wonder if treble would do it once he's running at capacity again.

Imma gonna run a custom case for myself whoopie!

I have one, but interested in another PCB. Can it be slightly modified to accept SMD diodes and controller? Without a daughterboard controller, it's easier to design future cases to fit.

And also, this PCB fits all layouts listed in the google doc so why do we need to choose which layout option?

Mainly because I didnt know

I'm transfixed...

[jdcarpe]

In for 2 (or 3).

I bet The_Beast will run a plate GB if people need plates.

[duq]

Interested.

[jdcarpe]

Did this get cross-posted to DT? If not, it should...

[Sai]

again. i am interested but wallet not allows. 

[boost]

In for 2-3...

Just turn this into the GB


Will need to check with Dan to grab another plate

Yes, exactly the same.

It could, yes, and I've talked with bpiphany about just those options (plus holes for PCB mounted switches and stabilizers). He is (inactively) working on a 2.0 revision, but we have nothing but the original at the moment.

[phetto]

I'm in for 5

[tjcaustin]

It may not be the worst thing in the world to coordinate with beast or someone to smoosh plates into this GB as well.  Also, I think oneproduct is working on an aluminum/acrylic case that would work as well.

[mistakemistake]

I'm in.

[jdcarpe]

I'm in.

Yay! Does that mean you're in for making some kind of little detachable cable stubs for these?

[Piehunter]

Hey, would anyone be kind enough to tell me how much the whole endeavor would cost? (or in what balllpark it runs in) before i put my finger in the gear :S

from what i understand
pcb 35
plate 15-35 (based off GB from boostbeast and whitefire
Case =??? (i saw some made in aluminum that were like 300+ but thats a bit out of my budget range)
keys = 40-50? @ around .4 per key or something like that

and then you would need keycaps ofc...am i missing anything else?

edit: sorry for name mistake :S

I didn't do a plate GB sir. l

You also need to ad $16 for the teensy 2.0. You'll need a filco case. not sure if the PLU cases will work

[alaricljs]

boost != the_beast

[mistakemistake]

I'm in.

Haha.. sure I'll post up a DIY on how to do an inline female mini-b connector, so you can use any usb cable. I'll keep you all posted when time gets closer.

yes. thats what i want to know as well.
The total cost for building a phantom

boost != the_beast

lol yea i messed that one up the other day my self but even worse had MMB mixed in as well.

 1 PCB (includes 2 white LEDs and2 resistors) - $35
 1 Plate - $25
 1 Teensy (includes 1 40-pin pin header) - $16
 100 switches - $65ish (I think that's what I paid to get them from 7bit)
 100 diodes - $4
 4 2x stabilizers for ANSI or 3 2x stabilizers for ISO or 0 for PH7BIT - (??)
 1 7x or 1 6.25x stabilizer set for spacebar or 0 for PH7BIT - (??)
 1 case - Depends on what you go with or can find.  There are acrylic cases that would work starting at $40ish, or you could try and find another filco case.

I would think, all said and done to plan for $300 before caps.

plu cases work like a boss contact qtan about a plu-87 nothing else

I'd be in for this. I remember watching the KMAC and phantom DIY videos on putting it all together but if someone offered a service to have everything go to them and be assembled I wouldn't say no.

[mistakemistake]

can we get a matte royal purple pcb color?

[Shadovved]

Baby/hot pink please!

lol been working on that and already have received some pms from people on this topic

You are a gentleman and a scholar. I think this might be my best chance to get a winkeyless board w/ergo clears.

yea could definitly do that send me a pm when you get a chance.

[TheProfosist]

Also i think this GB should have different color PCBs personally to set it a bit apart from the first.

White PCB is where it's at, so underdone.

[Halverson]

Definitely interested in one of these!

white would be cool the reverse phantom

YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[MMB]

I dont think an IC is even needed. I am pretty sure you won't have an issue getting orders.

In.

[aggiejy]

I'm in for one too!

[Sai]

umm. i can't resist. i am in as well.

[esoomenona]

Yes, please.

[TheProfosist]

if its a different color i want one to build into a black PLU case.

[SmallFry]

I've gotten my Phantom for around $100, total. $300 is way overshooting, IMO.

[danielucf]

Consider me interested.
