@thalia And being in front of a group no less. That's the worst. I bet that was exceptionally frustrating.
@thalia this is hilarious. S tier packaging.
@thalia hahaha does it function?
I am getting ever closer to autonomous companion computer controlled drone flight. I now have my field router setup to act as a base station for my drone to connect it back to the internet!

My extra Brainfuinos are now up for sale on Lectronz!
As to answer the question of why? Well, the challenge. And to quote the original author Eduardo Corpeño, with the Brainfuino you get "bragging rights for writing code that works! You certainly won't get that from the Arduino."
My revision 1.1 of the Brainfuino has:
- Corrected clock routing to the FPGA soft processor
- JLCPCB compatible parts list and reduced cost by switching to prestocked "basic" components.
- USB C
- A nifty case
- Some code improvements are also on their way
There are two processors on the Brainfuino, the actual brainf*ck based soft processor implemented in hardware on the Lattice FPGA, and the STM32 which makes the whole thing user "friendly". Since the FPGA is configured basically as an old fashioned Harvard CPU, instructions move through the soft processor in a continuous stream of parallel bits, these flash into and out of existence, and the STM32 is there to catch them and serialize them so you don't need an ancient parallel based terminal
