7 opto transmitter boards - On order!

www.greatlakesmodular.com/products/tpcb/tpcb.html

Hi RGP,

Thank you to everyone who has bought a board (or two!), I have _sold
out_ of the first run. Not to worry, I have another run on order and
should be ready by early next week.

At this time, no changes have been made. I wasn't able to make a
large enough run to do soldermask just yet, hopefully if this makes it
to a third run, I'll be able to add it.

Some have mentioned putting larger holes in for grommets. Well
there's two problems with doing so. First, the 0.152 sized hole is
typically the largest sized hole that can be done on proto boards
without getting into custom drill sizes which usually carry extra
charges. Also, it's easier to make the hole larger (with a drill) than
to make it smaller. I would rather leave it up to the end user to
decide.
Also, if someone can measure the hole size on boards with grommets,
I will add the information to the manual so that anyone that wants to
will know exactly what sized drill bit to use.

Thanks!

Tony
