The GameBoy cart PCBs arrived earlier this week and they look so nice. The RP2040 portion all appears to work perfectly, was able to load the binary with no issues, which is a relief. Now I need to go through and update the EEPROM flashing code to match the final pin out and hope my address decoder circuit actually works correctly. Fingers crossed
TFW when you're ALMOST done routing traces on a PCB... because there's one nasty one left and you're too tired to figure out a path for it.
Advantages of ordering a custom #PCB :
- price
- staying away from corrosive #chemicals
- solder mask
- great quality
Advantages of etching your own:
- being able to make 3 consecutive mistakes, find an fix them in a single day
The best choice probably depends on how easily distracted you are...

opinions on: using one layer for mostly vertical and one for mostly horizontal tracks?
Yesterday, I got my first ever manufactured PCBs in the mail! So excited to rebuild my keyboard! ⌨️
Je viens de faire une carte électronique d'adaptation de niveaux de tension pour le #GateMate (#gatemateA1_evb d'#olimex) avec #Kicad8 : 4.04€ les 5 PCB port et emballage compris chez #jlcpcb !
❤️ Kicad ❤️

PCB order from JLCPCB is done \o/ now i can start search for the parts and reorder missing stuff.
Around 38 Euros with shipping and custom duties/tax.
Instead of tackling markdown generation i tackled the 3d file generation. Just the board, but i can live with that. I used many years altium with his very nice 3d integration, but this is enought to design cases :-)
Small rant... while Eagle runs some commands blocking, some others are non blocking and if i want to do thinks in schematic and the board shit hits the fan. Until now i can't find a logic.
My only solution right now is generating a scr for every schematic plus the board and call eagle len(scrs) times.
