What might I be working on  - hopefully more updates to come in the new future. Thanks to #Aisler for manufacturing these amazing PCBs, hassle free.

I think I've finally finished the boards for the keytar. Unfortunately, I don't know of a convenient PCB manufacturer in the US that offers assembly. I can solder most of them myself, but the board containing 576 LEDs might be a job for a pick-n-place machine. 😅

I'm considering going through @aislerhq to have them made. Has anyone in the states tried them before? Guess I'm worried what the customs situation might look like. 😬  

More keytar updates soon!

I designed another PCB... Small preview without revealing what it will be. It'll arrive mid January, though.
They will be manufactured by @aislerhq again, using the 20% December discount for using their #KiCad plugin.
It'll have the option to use an AVR DA compatible #microcontroller or a #tinyAVR one - I added options for both that I have in stock (AVR32DA32 and ATtiny814). Since it won't use many pins, I could have used smaller variants, too.

#TimeTravel is not a crime!
Apparently #aisler can ship boards before they have been manufactured.
I wanted to try out a few new things. So, I designed a development board for the AVR DA #microcontroller, the 32 pin #TQFP looked like something I'd be able to hand solder. I really like #UPDI from the ATtiny814. This is the result, my first four layer boards, first time with logos and an image. The image of #Frieren was a bit too small, though. Manufactured by @aislerhq again.

Since the #powersupply for my #IBM #ThinkPad 755C doesn't work reliably and uses a very strange connector, I unsoldered the socket from the internal board. It came on a handy mini #PCB, which I reengineered in @kicad for a barrel jack. It also has connections for a 20V USB-C PD trigger board that I had lying around.
The boards were manufactured by @aislerhq and fit perfectly. Only the barrel jack was a bit tight since I had to smallen the holes a bit to place it on the board.
Now I just have to decide which to solder back into the #laptop. Will have to try which fits better inside the hole.
