Vectorboy v1.3 PCB & BOM

Everything you need to order parts for your Sony Scopeman / Vectorboy!

PCB

⚠️ NOTE: Be sure to order the PCB thinner than standard, 0.040" (1.0mm) should be good. If you end up ordering as 0.062" (1.6mm), you will have to make a bunch of modifications, but it can be done.

JLCPCB

All parts including PCB's for 2 complete boards was $159.82 ($80 each).

I got a brand new Sony Watchman FD-10A from eBay for $30 shipped.

I made some minor tweaks to the silkscreen and ordered PCBs from JLCPCB.

  • Added "JLCJLCJLCJLC" to the back side of the PCB for part number placement
  • Moved "PURPLE / BLACK" text for readability
  • Changed main text to say "Vectorboy v1.0" for fun and motivation
  • I ordered 20 PCBs in White soldermask with Black silkscreen with a stencil for $34.38 shipped.

Order PCB's by using the included gerbers-vectorboy-v1.3.zip and uploading those with all of the necessary specs JLCPCB

Centroid/Position data is here for ordering assembled boards. (Note: I have not used this file myself, just trying to keep it updated from the original)

BOM

LCSC

Most of the parts are included in LCSC-Bom-Vectorboy-v1.3.csv

However, some of those parts were out of stock and I had to get them at Digikey or eBay.

Here is the exact order that was exported

To import this:

  • Upload the CSV to LCSC's BOM Tool
  • Set the columns for "LCSC Part Number", "Customer Part Number" (these are the ref des.), "Quantity"
  • This will add enough parts for 2 complete boards (adjust as necessary)

NOTE: if you plan to build these by hand, you might want to import the LCSC-Exported-Condensed-Designators-Vectorboy-v1.3.csv BOM which has Condensed Designators in decending order (e.g. "C37,30,28-25,19,14,11,8,2") that will fit on the bags of parts you'll receive. DO NOT use this one if you are planning on having JLCPCB assemble your boards for you.

Digikey

A few parts needed to be ordered from Digikey

eBay

Grumble grumble, part shortage... get these at eBay

Batteries
