Songbird Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 In the process of getting more Lynx boards made, I accidentally got a batch that is at least 2x the thickness of my other Lynx boards. They will not fit in the Songbird curved lip shell, and a 3D printed shell would need to be modified to fit the thicker board. I have 31 of these. Raw boards only, no chips included. Would sell the lot for $25 plus shipping. Let me know if interested, thanks! Songbird regular cart board with chips on the left, the thick board on the right.

4ever2600 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) Sure! I'd take them off your hands! Are they programmable via the Lynx programmer you offer for sale? Also do you sell the chips for an extra price? I'll PM ya. Edited September 18 by 4ever2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ever2600 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Carl, please don't hate me, but I have to recall my last message. I just don't know enough about programming these, chips etc. That said to whomever is interested, go ahead and pick these up. Good price and coming from Songbird..

Songbird Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 No worries. These boards would work in any Lynx programmer that accepts a cartridge. But you would need a custom-made Lynx cart shell to account for the thicker circuit board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jgkspsx Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I know a guy who might like these and his name rhymes with "Wreck Barton". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result of Wreck's YouTube channel, where he always builds projects on protoboard to get the job done "now", he gets plenty of offers from PCB board houses to do a first run for free. I know Wreck personally. He saw this thread on it's first day. He does know there's a time to let things go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_galaga Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Wouldn't they be too thick to actually fit into the cartridge slot on the lynx? Wouldn't it bend the fingers? Or have I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny_galaga Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 40 minutes ago, jgkspsx said: They would need a thinner, presumably 3D printed shell. What I mean is that the cartridge slot has conductors designed to accept a certain thickness PCB. If you stick something a lot thicker in the connector, aren't you bending/weakening the fingers? If you can even jam something that much thicker in there. The edge connector is part of that PCB isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted September 23 Author Share Posted September 23 No, this batch of PCBs (while thick) is still much thinner than the cartridge slot / receiving connector. But the regular cart shell + PCB is too thick for the slot, thus the reason you'd have to make a thinner cart shell to hold the thicker PCB. I figured it wasn't worth the trouble for anyone, since it would take extra work to modify a cart shell and 3D print them. No big deal. I've thrown away much more painful things in the past.
