Hi,

due to the impossibility to buy the Maxim DC/DC converters in low
quantities at affordable prices I modified the design in order to use
Linear Technology LT1615 and LD1940 regulators.

You find updated Eagle schematic in the LinuxTV CVS tree, module dvb-hw.
The .brd file will follow as soon the Layout is done.

Most of the coils and the Linear DC/DC converters are already delivered.
We're still waiting for the FX2. The PCB and all remaining parts will
get ordered as soon the new schematic and layout is finished and reviewed.

Do you have any values for pricing meanwhile?

kind of. Some prices are still estimated, some still unknown:

DC/DC converters 12,- USD complete incl. taxes and shipping (arrived)
Cypress FX2 8,30 EUR + taxes and shipping (ordered)
PCB ~9-12 EUR + taxes and shipping (http://www.pcbpool.de)
remaining parts ~30,- USD + taxes and shipping (http://www.mouser.com/)

I don't know yet the exact price for the frontend, right now I have 2 samples on my desk. I expect ~8-25EUR, hopefully I will know more next week.

230V power adaptor: depends on how cheap you buy it - maybe you already own one...

I don't know how much shipping we will have to add, when you live near Berlin you can visit us and pick up your kit personally.

Beside this we consider to ask a professional PCB assembly company to solder it all together - especially the LT1940 is a little bit tricky. When they do it for an affordable price we would let them do this...

Any opinions?

Holger
