Well begun is half done

My board showed up today from BatchPCB:

Bottom Side

Top Side

I managed to get the 3V power supply built and tested. Yay!

3V Power Supply

Tomorrow I will get someone at work to solder the processor on for me, as it is well beyond my skills (64 pin MLF).

Route 66

I received the display (no pics yet :’( ). It is teeny, but the contrast is really nice. Last but not least, I just finished the routing of the PCB and should be sending it out for fab at BatchPCB by Friday.


I have three “airwires” left. The auto router choked on this board, so this was the best I could do manually. I added some vias so I could solder a jumper in to connect the nets.
