this from max speransky, way to go max! (remember you need to send from a subscribed address - this bounced but was cool enough i thought i'd send it on manually).
Interesting topic raise, i'm new to list but also have my own vision, how EOMA-68 can be used. Even made physical scaled prototype ) Here is a link to github, there are SCAD design sources, ready for 3d printing, https://github.com/idepositbox/thecan
max i thought i'd point out that i spotted an 8-shaped power socket on the drawing - is that mains? if so unless there's a really good reason i'd recommend having a separate power adapter, there's a very good power IC that does up to 4A anywhere between 7 and 21V DC input. power adapters are a pain, and also you have to take extra-special care on the design of the PCB as well as consider safety issues.
also if you're doing this as an open hardware project i'm happy to do the PCB design if you like. it'd be with PADS because that's what i can use, and it's very very good, plus i have a large library of parts now.
