Re: WildStang 2015 Beta Testing blog

The board that spans the roboRIO to reach the screw holes comes to about 3" x 3". We were going to use oshpark.com again as we have had good results from them in the past. They charge $5/sq in for 3 copies, which comes to about $15 per board. Add header pins, and it's not much more than that, depending on how you buy.

The board could be made narrower - we were sticking with the footprint of our other board.

My only issue is that for a passive board with only breakout pins, there is a lot of empty space.

The mini version is a total of around 6sq in, so about $30 for 3. So I guess security costs about $5 per board.
