Ah, understood. Sounds good! To me, "Frankenstein" means "things sticking out oddly" - so gaping holes for things that _can_ stick out is indeed not, and bonus points if covered up to not be "gaping" :-) > I am also now thinking about placing components on both sides of the > PCB to make it smaller than the original FST-01.

I would appreciate a more compact design, even if adding a bit to production costs (or waiting a bit longer for a larger batch to queue up). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private _______________________________________________ Community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goldelico.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/community http://www.tinkerphones.org
