I'm at #mrmcd and got the FPGA stuff with me.

If you want a #ChubbyHat or buffer replacement PCBs, drop me a DM.

I implemented automatic PDF and Gerber export from KiCad with Make, Python and Poppler in my KiCad template repo.
There also is a git hook that can run this automatically.

For the #ChubbyHat I also added automatic creation of the PCB art with OpenSCAD.

I finished a major part of the routing for the new version of #ChubbyHat today. JTAG, UART and power are done. I might have gone a little overboard with the vias ^^

The only thing left is connecting the HUB75 to the Pmod connectors. This should be straight forward, since I can shuffle the assignment arbitrarily and avoid the need for crossovers.

The current redesign of #ChubbyHat has the goal to feature a standalone implementation of the #RP2040 circuit, so I can be produced cheaply, but also footprints for these developments boards.

The idea behind that is, that people with a tight budget might already have one of those dev boards laying around, and could save money by just ordering the bare ChubbyHat PCB and plugging it in.

Another ongoing project of mine is the #ChubbyHat
https://hackaday.io/project/174032-chubby-hat

It is based on @q3k 's chubby75 repo.

The idea is to turn the #Colorlight75 into an affordable #FPGA development platform.
