    Default FB3 dimensions. Urgent.

    Urgent, need dimensions and mounting data to CAD a FB3SE with DMX into a box.

    Looking at the Pango web site right now, but if some one has it... I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks, Steve

    Pango's dimensions of "Credit-card sized board" are not accurate enough?

    Board dimensions are 1.20" x 3.25" Hole spacing on my board is 1.890" x 2.950" height of the whole board from bottom board to top of USB port is .780" USB port is central. The xd card is located in line with the left side of the USB port and extends to the right 1" Top of the XD card is .600" from the top of the USB port. Let me know what else you need.

    I wish I was that good. But unlike the chick Sting! sings about, NOT "Everything I do is Magic, Magic, Magic," by a long shot!

    Measure twice, cut once, visit purchasing, do paperwork, wait! reorder stock, repeat!

    Steve,

    The board thickness is .057". I actually tapped the holes in the brass out to a 5-40 thread and I was able to do so without drilling them. I can only estimate the holes to be slightly larger than the diameter of a 38 drill (.101"). I would guess them to be .105" based on the way they tapped. If you PM me your email, I would be happy to email you pics of the box I built.

    I'm glad to help a guy like you Steve.

    That is the beautiful thing about units of measure, they can be converted. It would , however, be easier if the States got on board with the rest of the world.

    Senate

    Main article: Filibuster in the U.S. Senate
    In the United States Senate, rules permit a senator, or a series of senators, to speak for as long as they wish and on any topic they choose, unless "three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn"[25] (usually 60 out of 100 senators) brings debate to a close by invoking cloture under Senate Rule XXII.


    End quote.


    From WIKI, actually not bad.. But basically you stand there and talk the bill to death, by extending it past a deadline. Unless a quorum can be reached to seat you. Senators have been known to go for days, and team up, to kill bills. The late Sen Byrd was a master of this, known to go for DAYS by himself. Done right, it can even extend the business hours of the Senate, forcing the leadership of both sides to hang around. It is effective.
