Update

Hey folks, hope all is well and everyone had a great holiday. Here are the bits:

• The holiday break was not super productive. Definitely took several days away from the desk to get the brain and body refreshed.

• This week I picked up the PCB work again. Still more to do but here is a quick proto render:

What’s left:

• The overall big picture layout is finalized. It took several revisions and a lot of doodling in notebooks

• I’m currently optimizing the placement for production. I laid everything out with a bunch of extra space to keep it simple, so things will shrink quite a bit in the next revision.

• The Pi will not actually be mounted to the board as shown. It was just helpful to think of everything as one piece while working through it.

• Some headers/outputs are not populated with 3d models in the render, and positions are wonky.

• Ive done some preliminary routing so final routing should go quickly. Figure layout optimization will be done on Wednesday, with the goal to route Thursday eve and send it to fab on Friday. If I’m unable to complete it by then, there should be no issue getting it done by the end of the weekend.

Other bits:

• I do not think there will be demos out in next week’s update. I made some updates to Operator that still need to be tested and finalized, which will be the priority for this upcoming weekend.

Ok, that is all for now, will see everyone next week.

Cheers!
