[hpsdr] Pinocchio issues

Chuck and All

Sorry about the hook up wire. Lyle and I discussed it when I purchased
Pinocchio, connectors and hook up wire. Lyle said 22 or 20. I opted for 20
and 'slapped my head' when I tried it in the holes! It's all Lyle's fault. 

You will have to come up with some 22 or so to make it easier. Either that
or a miniature file.

Another excellent suggestion was made by Phil Harman, that the hook up loops
for the power traces (if installed) should  be placed on the opposite side
of the Pinnochio board to avoid the possibility of shorting to adjacent
loops when making power connections, if that is the way you will supply or
monitor power for test.

I put together a couple of Pinocchios today and noticed a few things:

 - If I've built Atlas and Pinocchio correctly, the silkscreen text on
Pinocchio is upside-down when Atlas is right side up. Please tell me that's
just a silkscreen issue! It seems so - the orientation of everything seems
to match the pictures in the documentation.

 - The supplied wire can only be made to go through the plated-through holes
with much, much work if at all. I think the wire is 1 Angstrom smaller than
the hole. Standard single row headers won't fit, either. Has anyone found a
header with pin diameters that allow it to fit in the Pinocchio holes?
