Lazy Saturday free PCB

There’s a lot going on in the lab this morning. Instead of writing a post, we’re going to give away a couple PCBs for an all through-hole version of the USB Infrared Toy. This is part of a kit that probably won’t be made because the through-hole version of the PIC18F2550 is four times the cost of the surface mount version.  Just give us a shout if you’d like one, while they last.

An assembled USB Infrared Toy is available for $20, including worldwide shipping. Each purchase supports the development of this project.

  1. I’d like a board, please, if there are any left.

    I’m just starting, and I’m not quite ready for SMDs, despite the cost.

    Thanks for all the knowledge I’m getting from the site!

  2. I probably missed the chance to get a free one. But I have all the parts on hand and would really like to make it so maybe I could buy one?

  3. Thru hole pcbs are perfect as I have a ton of non smd stuff kicking around here somewhere if theres another still available id love one.

  4. I’d luv a pcb as i’ve got a dip 18F2550 sitting on my desk stairing at me blankly – thanks…

  5. Then manufacture a through-hole-except-the-PIC version, and pre-solder the PIC. I’d be quite happy with that.
    I’d like one of these if there are some left.

  6. Cursing myself for not checking online this weekend. I’d like a pcb but I’m sure I’m too late.

  7. I would purchase a through-hole version of the kit if you put one together, the flash destroyer kit was a lot of fun to put together and play with. Looks like a DIP package of a PIC18F2550 is only about $5.
