Open Panzer Help / buying/getting the OP TCB advice
« on: March 01, 2019, 12:49:38 PM »
Considering that the complete TCB will probbably not be available for purchase for the coming time, I would like your advice on acquiring the TCB.
At this moment I have considered two options:
1. buying a unpopulated PCB(via OSH, china or a local company) and populating it myself. my main doubt is whenether i could propperly solder the IC components.
2. Using the ArduinoMega2560 as a base and using a shield to make it compatible with the OP firmware. I know that there is such a shield on the forum, however I do not (fully)know where the arduino sheld and the TCB differ and what capabilities are un-available on the shield option.
what is at the current moment the better option?
