Now that the boards are for sale is the schematic going to be released? I know it was mentioned previously in the thread but haven't seen them yet. I think having them to look at may answer a lot of questions.

I cant quote burnin directly right now, but his statement towards this question was that he will release them after a reasonable profit was made.
Burnin surely had a lot of work done and needed to invest which should at first returned bevor releasing those data.

I will send out BOM, Stencil-Gerber, drawings and Pick and Place data out to those who have ordered blank PCBs next week, under NDA.
That NDA basically reads: do not redistribute until i open source the project on delivery of the first BitBurners. (5th to 6th of august.)
Unfortunately only a few will get PCBs from the very first batch since i received more chips from Zefir then anticipated.
More PCBs are on their way but will take at least one week longer then the first. (12th to 16th)

Have you send? Nothing in my Inbox.

Did you pay that order?


Question regarding that, that hasn't been mentioned.
If you are powering more than 2 of them through one power source, you are also running that current through the input voltage section of each of the boards.
Thus I imagine that could damage the boards also ... ?
i.e. really, don't do it with more than 2 ... ever ... for that reason also?

The tracks between the 6Pin connector and the screw-terminal are rated for the current of two boards.
