Still have to fix the bad traces on the PCB and order a new set.

A slight adjustment on the case too. But then I have most of a bill of materials ready.

Also local. Also in. For two.

Not enough pins and different pinout in that form factor.

gammarae.design•28 days ago

I'm almost maxing out the pico pins as is and that's not counting the amount of analog pin abuse I'm doing.

I'm reading analog accelerometer data in three axis, Hall effect data, an encoder, a TFT screen, three buttons(tho one i could sacrifice as it's an on board test button), reading the output from two voltage dividers.

I didn't know your gpio requirements , but wasn't sure if you knew about this Windsor supplier.
They have decent prices for the most part.

Noted!

After growing up in boucherville and living in toronto for quite a while, Halifax just frustrates me for component supply...

davejohnston.bsky.social•28 days ago

That is a pretty sweet build btw.
I'm impressed

tbh since you started this project i thought if you could figure out the manufacturing for scale this is the kind of product i can't believe didn't already exist. people would LOVE this

gammarae.design•29 days ago

Awww ☺️

Definitely have no clue how to do proper scale manufacturing but I think I can streamline the hand making. I kept it to existing prototype modules so the assembly is pretty easy despite not having access to solder flowing equipment :)

(Part of the reason it's so chonky)
