Hey Bosco,

Can't wait to put together the tracker with your pcb. I tried emailing you, but i was wondering if you had a list of additional parts needed to complete the pcb as ou designed it as well as any slightly different parts.

thanks

LM -

B0SCO has "Bill of Materials" listed on his website. It looks like a full parts list for his board. When ordering from Mouser, you can subsitute most items that are not in stock (except the GPS and processor). I didn't do that and they shipped me an LED and some caps a month after my inital order. Fortunately, Mouser ships backordered items under a pound or two for free.

Made some changes and corrections on schematic, pcb, and bom(BILL OF MATERIALS).

On your PCB, I assume the serial port can be used if the wavecom module is used instead of a phone (schematic says it is for pc mode). Is this the case?


Thanks,

The PC mode is for communicating between the PC and the GPS only.
Debug is for communicating between the PC and the ATTINY84. From what I understand,
this allows the ability to see the phone interaction with the ATTINY84.
The wavecom shouldn't be a problem, however, all of these need to be clarified by Mike.

Traces going to the MAX3232 pin 7 and pin 8 need to be switched
for proper serial port communications.

This is only needed if you plan on using the serial port for debugging
or communicating directly with the gps.

As of 7/18/2008 and any future board purchases, changes will already be implemented.
