It arrived this morning. Small package.
Well packed:
Bubble wrapped PCBA:
PSU wiring (except mains), Ethernet cable and PSU in brown box:
It's a MeanWell PSU, which is pleasing - they are a good Taiwanese brand. 24V / 0.6A (that's about 15W):
Underside of the PCBA, showing single-sided component placement:
It's all SMT components apart from the connectors. I don't think much of the through-hole soldering. I'm guessing the PCBAs were assembled (in China?) and the connectors (including the header sockets for the daughterboard) hand soldered in the US by untrained grunts. I'd hope / expect to see the flux removed with IPA and a brush at the very least. However, I've seen worse and it's not a serious issue here.
Doesn't look bad from the top. The Beagle Board Green plugs onto headers in the middle of the board:
That's it for now!
Retrofitting 1983 Shizuoka AN-SB CNC milling machine, Bridgeport mill, Colchester Bantam lathe and 1982 Tree UP-1000 CNC lathe with modern controls - and other workshop stuff
