lotharek Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Soon available at my shop. i can only promise, price will be very resonable, pcb wll be white (green are prototypes / hand soldering) i still have some doubts about USB connection : - USB B (present) - very reliable, covers whole plug cable hole - micro USB - most popular, but there will small hole left in plug.. Your opinion, please ?? Edited September 19, 2014 by lotharek 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Those look good to me. I prefer the full size USB connection because I have seen too many phones with damaged micro-USB connectors. The full size is a more robust design. -K 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppertj Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 It looks like a nice design. Are they going to be cheaper than the other sio2pcs out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotharek Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 price is approx 20E. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Awesome - I also prefer the full size USB. When will these be ready to order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I prefer the smaller connector (which need never be unplugged anyway, surely), but either way they look great - nice work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodLightning Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Good design. I never built a proper enclosure for the breakout board I got from sparkfun. Buying one of these would be quick and easy. Usb printer type cable is stronger and the connector fills up the hole better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madi Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 In my opinion, different shapes of USB is just a matter of taste. But, since the normal USB jack covers the whole plug cable hole, it will have a slight advantage. Let me ask some questions to clear it up for me: Design is important but specifications are crucial for people like me (noobs). Is is it based on FT232R or F3231SX or another micro-controller? New design ? What about transfer speed ? What about the type of drivers. Is there an accompanied software ? Is is it a dual function (10502PC/ISO2PC) or just SIO2PC plug-in device ? What makes it different/unique to other SIO2PC devices that are currently available (not to forget the low coast FT232R based break boards). madi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hello guys Problem with those USB connectors is, that there are way to many different shapes and sizes. I'm not sure if they differ in how easy it is for the USB connector to fall out, but if there is, please consider taking the one that has the most grip. Sincerely Mathy (who already has a SIO2PC via USB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kogden Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I like the full size USB B connector. Mini-USB is cute and all but unless it's the newer cell-phone style mini-USB connector it's probably not worth it. Most people have a printer cable or a "newer" mini-USB cable for their phone. Not many have the older mini-USB cables around. I would imagine the big USB B connector would stand up to abuse better and is easier to clean if contacts get corroded years later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audronic Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) @lotharek Large size connection (USB B Connector) Please. What software will we use ?? Ray Edited September 20, 2014 by Audronic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNameOfTheGame Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I like the large usb connector. Seems more robust long-term. Nice job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Both Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Large size. No question. More robust, more grip, longer cables avaiable. Stefan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlowingGhoul Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Micro usb is too fragile, the full size will be sturdier and look better, since it fills the opening (which reinforces the usb connector if it's touching the shell.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Very nice! I am glad to see this SIO2PC-in-a-plug made by a true professional, with a history of creating much-more complex devices, than this! I, too, am curious as to what software this will work with. The guy currently "supervising" someone's earlier work with Aspeqt has managed to remove support for Steve Tucker (Atarimax)'s features (specifically, APETIME), so that of course begs the question that of whether or not he'll sabotage future versions of Aspeqt to un-support competing devices. Once can only note that at the current time, the allegedly open-source (and thusly allegedly unbiased) Aspeqt only "recommends" ONE device, that sold by Ray Ataergin.......WHEN IT SHOULD recommend **ALL** such devices. Considering the source, no big surprise, however. http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff357/gbasp/Misc/AspeqtRecommededHardware_zps9b0ec726.jpg~original One would have thought that - the in the true nature of open source - that "recommended" hardware would be ANY/ALL SIO2PC devices, rather than that which one sells. One's expectations would be too high in that regard, evidently. Perhaps someone can link to the last version of Aspeqt that cyco130 (the REAL creator of Aspeqt) supported, in the hopes that it will be truly "open." It would be great to see the distribution "fork" into the true, continuing Aspeqt and away from the current botch. Meanwhile, Lotharek's version looks very good! The large connector is durable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillC Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 ASPEQT releases, starting with V0.1 from December 15 2009, are available from sourceforge.net. Up to V0.6 were by Fatih(cyco130) http://sourceforge.net/projects/aspeqt/files/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I prefer "full USB size"... from pics I see that it is like the one I plug into my printer? So I can not plug in the device into my notebook straight away? anyway... please put me on the preorder list. I guess it does anyway make no sense to plug directly into my PC/Notebook as the SIO device like a 1050 needs to be there, too...

Your opinion, please ?? As the Jawa said ... "Ooh! Teeny!" I like them a lot. My instinct is to say USB B as the connectors themselves are more sturdy. However, how are the micro USB mounted? The issue I can see with the current design is potential damage to the motherboard where the connector ... er ... connects to. Especially if, like me, you have a baby/toddler and clumsy kids in the house. In our house I can see it getting wrecked before long. I'm assuming that the micro USB doesn't stick out like that, which would probably make it a better bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
