Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Guess this means I should write up the remaining parts of the process eh? There’s lots of fun & games going on with parts placement that I need to cover. http://blog.omegacs.net/2011/06/07/fully-assembled-anyseistm-boards/ has pics of the assembled boards back from Screaming Circuits.
Thanks to this walkthrough I now see a lot of wasted star-shaped breakout boards between the actual boards. 😉
Awesome!
Heh, the “ninja stars”. I just realized though that Screaming Circuits tossed those out when they depanelized after assembly. Too bad, I had people from DorkbotPDX asking to keep some….
