Integrated circuit shortage or obsolete parts management #12

Open Marin-Dodouss opened 2 years ago

Marin-Dodouss commented 2 years ago

Hello Ottercast hardware and firmware developpers,

I downloaded Ottercast open source project. First, a huge thanks because it was exactly what I was looking for. Then, I tried to order the assembled PCB but some components are noted as inventory shortage on JLCPCB. (On octopart too) Maybe, I can found alternate parts for some, but the AXP209 seems unavailable.

Did you plan to change this component ?

If you need, I think I can made a fork and do components changes using Kicad but I don't know if doing this will broke the software or not.

Do you have any advices ?

Hi! IIRC the AXP currently isn't really used in the software, so anything that can supply the required voltages (with the required power sequencing) should do the trick. There are a lot of similar chips in the AXP line, you might find a compatible one.

Hi ! Thanks for your quick answer ! I'll try to find an alternate part next week. If it's okay, I'll put it into the BOM.
