let  me know i might be interested :)

Anonamous, have you actually tried just using a cable without the USB connector?  I was planning to just use a cable, because I didn't want to have to drill through the board to mount a USB connector on it.

still waiting ... :rofl: also thats a good  idea just solder the usb cable to the board

yes i have tried. Wondered why it did not work. bought parts for another one with slightly modified things, did not work , bought parts for it again, and then tried using a connector and it magically worked. I honestly have no idea why it doesnt work, but just use a connector. Maybe somebody can shed some light on why it wouldnt work?

Also, I literally just got done with making my own pcb design. Im going to get me some etching solution and copper board tomorrow and etch it. Ill put my design in the original post, just print it and do the toner transfer. It has my username in the design which you can change to your own if you'd like.

magic_man185:
I have a design also, I made it in ExpressPCB. I made the design with the resonator instead of the crystal with the two capacitors.  Just a thought on using a cable instead of the connector, if the USB cable has a shield on it, try connecting the shield to ground in addition to the ground wire, that might help remove any interference and help the cable method to work.  When I etch a board I am still going to try the wire method, cause as I said doing a connector will be a pain in the butt.  As for the toner transfer, that is how I did the two boards that I have etched, but it is a real pain in the butt to get all of the toner to stick to the copper board.  What kind of paper are you using to transfer? I just used some glossy photo paper, it released the toner really well, the problem is getting the toner to stick to the copper board.

Anonamous:
Ok now for the main question. If I were to sell some of these in the BST section, how many people would be interested? I want to know before I buy in bulk

Also Magic Man, I used some photo paper and found that the non glossy side stuck to my iron when it got hot. So i printed on that side and tried it that was with a piece of normal paper in between my iron and the photo paper so i wouldnt get any crap on it. Anyway I found that the toner adheres quite well because the paper doesnt slide. My only problem now is i cant get the god damn paper off even after constantly soaking it in water :/

I will take 2
