Project development, ideas, and suggestions / the Dangerous PCB vending machine/auto mailer robot
In reference to http://http://dangerousprototypes.com/2012/02/29/how-not-to-sell-pcbs-pcb-drawer-first-year-sales-breakdown/#comments, we need to figure out how to make the life of the people who send out free boards better.

The device needs to operate in various countries. So assume power 100V to 250V AC.
No cow tongue or other animal parts for licking envelopes, etc.
Needs to handle pre-made boards.
Webcam so you can watch!
Also needs to tape board down, insert a business card and decal, and apply labels. And print labels or better yet print on the envelope directly. As label reinforces the envelope though, could be bad to NOT use labels.
Probably needs to be no larger than a dorm sized refrigerator.

Ideas?

Project logs / Bus Pirate 3.5a-SOIC Build
Finished my second board tonight! http://http://www.planetjay.com/bus-pirate-3-5a-soic-build/ Again a very difficult build, but very happy with it. Couldn't get my Pickit 3 to work at all under Mac OS X 10.7 so I ended up programming it under Ubuntu Linux instead. Still having an odd problem that I have to reboot the computer every time I reconnect the BP or it won't communicate. Pressing Enter does make the USB LED flash though. :/ Blaming Linux for that one. Also yes there's a solder bridge (as required) on the 4066. :)
