#60068 - Production ready PCB with USB
Hi all!

I have just got a new project from a customer, and I need some advice on the harware parts.

The device is basically interfacing to a keypad (matrix, should not be a problem..), radio link to remote conrol (just buying a module with rs232 to radio i think), some other small stuff like LED's buzzer etc. and a USB link to an industrial computer. The reason for choosing USB is that there are some other devices that will be connected to the industrial computer which will be connected "though" the device I am using (using just a small hub), so I can just as well use this to communicate from my device to the computer.

Now, this project has a VERY short time-to-market (suprise, suprise)... I thought I would just get a PCB from some company with a (maybe cygnal) uController that has enough GPIO for my key matrix and LED/buzzer + a USB controller (built in to the controller og external..). So far my searches has noot been very successful. I have googled all day long, searched 8052.com (and looked though the links), looked though Circuit cellar suppliers directory and loads of other sites. Now, this might just be me being a bit blind, but I can't find a finished PCB (oh, and it can't be too big, maybe 10cm x 5cm) with USB and GPIO. I just can't believe no one is producing one... The kind I am talking about is a board like the RCM3700 Rabbit board (only with USB instead of ethernet);

http://www.rabbitsemiconductor.com/products/...s/rcm3700/

but i have heard some bad things about them on this forum...

When it comes to costs it should be less than $100 with a yearly order of about 50 (could be a higher one time order though)

Does anyone know of such a board? I will not have time to do the whole hardware design.

Just let me know if you need more information to answer the question.

regards,
Øyvind Tjervaag
