You can do 6 inch or 9.7 inch, but you need to roll your own controller

2017-11-20 22:52:18 UTC  

waveshare has a 7"

2017-11-20 22:53:38 UTC  

comes with a rpi hat, but can also be controlled by spi

2017-11-20 22:54:57 UTC  

whoa

2017-11-20 22:54:57 UTC  

do you guys make your own PCBs and if so which EDA software

2017-11-20 22:55:05 UTC  

pencil+paper

2017-11-20 22:55:16 UTC  

which chinese boardhouse accepts that :^)

2017-11-20 22:55:24 UTC  

or do you etch it yourself

2017-11-20 22:55:37 UTC  

rip one from a kindle and reveng the protocol

2017-11-20 22:58:22 UTC  

@Goz3rr I use Eagle and UV-resist etching

2017-11-20 23:00:10 UTC  

I've been using kicad and will probably end up with some $5 chinese board house because they can outperform anything i'll manage to pull off

2017-11-20 23:00:30 UTC  

etching seems doable but soldermask (and silkscreen but less essential) seem near impossible

2017-11-20 23:01:42 UTC  

Main disadvantage of a chineese board house is that you have to wait a month to get your boards. Also soldermask is doable with UV-resist.

2017-11-20 23:02:10 UTC  

waiting a month isn't really a problem

2017-11-20 23:02:26 UTC  

i saw some videos on people applying soldermask and it seems near impossible to get an even layer and spread it to all corners

2017-11-20 23:10:44 UTC  

I wonder if it would be worth making group buys with the gizchina b2b service

2017-11-20 23:15:49 UTC  

Depends how much you trust yourself or other people not to fuck you iver

2017-11-20 23:22:35 UTC  

cant trust anybody, not even your family

2017-11-20 23:24:44 UTC  

What about yourself

2017-11-20 23:24:47 UTC  

can you trust yourself

2017-11-20 23:35:04 UTC  

The person most likely to chink you is yourself

2017-11-20 23:40:24 UTC  

I have chinked myself more often than the chinks

2017-11-20 23:44:09 UTC  

memes aside, only when sober

2017-11-20 23:44:19 UTC  

can you trust yourself

2017-11-20 23:53:41 UTC  

Before I start I'd like to say that apparently we own fake chink Sharpies

2017-11-20 23:54:55 UTC  

Why is uploading images fucked atm

2017-11-20 23:56:52 UTC  

It nearly always is

2017-11-21 00:02:54 UTC  

I've seen chinky sharpies before

2017-11-21 00:03:00 UTC  

they're called Shoopies or something like that

2017-11-21 00:15:21 UTC  

post pic with shoopy in poopy

2017-11-21 00:26:31 UTC  

uploading images works fine
