I decided that we need a better development setup for Black Magic Probe v3. I designed a little breakout carrier. We will likely spend some quality time with a debugger hooked up to it so I think it will be a worthwhile. The SMT threaded inserts are really nice. I also 3D printed a base to keep the TH pins from scratching the table. ;) #embedded #development #hardwarehackers #electronics #debugging #kicad

For my defense I did not have the time or energy to ask them what the hell and just rolled with it. I now pay the consequences of having to shuck 500 of these dumb panels :/ (they arrived in three massive boxes, such a waste of resources I feel bad :( ) #electronics #opensource #fpga #hardwarehackers #manufacturing
Why did JLCPCB not panelize them onto larger panels is beyond me SMH #electronics #opensource #fpga #hardwarehackers #manufacturing
