We need a custom USB PCB. This will not be anything special:
* 7 downstream ports, 1 upstream, working to USB 2.0 at full (480mbps) speed
* optional power header connector
* LEDs per downstream port indicating status
The main need for customisation is to get the ports located where we want them, so I mainly see this as a PCB layout problem: using a reference USB hub design would be fine. We have a format design in PDF format to form the basis of the design in terms of port placement, with specific measurements.
We hope to have the PCBs made relatively cheaply, so design considerations in terms of cost would be welcome - in terms of both choice of components, and circuit choices (static protection, etc.).
The outputs of this project would simply be CAD files (Gerber or similar) and part lists etc. that we are then able to use to fabricate the boards themselves. Suggestions for manufacturers in the UK/EU also welcome.
Have industrial experience in PCB designing. Have worked on many embedded projects : coding and hardware designing. Have 4+ years experience in KiCad and EAGLE Cad. Worked on many modules like SIM908, Nordic nRF51822, CY7C65632 and have done projects on GSM/GPS ,Induction Cooktop, Note counting Machine, USB Hub etc. Also have experience in creating 3D model of the PCB board.
The Entire project files including libraries will be handed out to you at the end of project.
I am ready to provide you with all contact details for USB PCB with description as requested from many sailing companies in UK.
Thanks & Regards,
