Awesome! I so badly want to follow your insane footsteps but my gf quit her job this summer so she could finish her studies..:banghead: |

Looked like the PCB should work. One point is the pin out / pin positions used for the connectors is backwards when compared to the connector datasheet. I mean the PCB connector pin #1 is at the opposite end of the connector from where the datasheet shows pin #1. I tried to show this in the attached PDF which is part pf the complete connector datasheet. Compare the connector orientation shown on the datasheet with the PCB picture mourix posted above. That is how it looks to me. Other opinions welcome. The PCB should work OK like this just need to keep the pin position designations in mind when wiring the connectors. If the pin positions are used like shown on the schematic ( pin #1, #2, etc. ) then all should be OK however if pin positions are referenced to the connector datasheet then thing will not be wired and function as expected. |

I had the revised PCBs printed up and they’re beautiful. I’m hoping to get one properly assembled soon. |

Hopefully is just some optical illusion however to me there does not seem to be any traces on the top ( component ) side. Traces on the bottom side can easily be seen. Is the soldermask really thick? |

blue, white, and especially... black pcbs have particularly hard to see traces. makes tracing out circuits a real pain. you have to get the board at just the right angle to see them. i think it's just cause the picture is taken at a weird angle, with the left set of boards are closer to on axis with the camera with a light reflection shining on them highlighting the traces making it easy to see them, but the right set is really off axis with no light reflections making it appear really flat. |
