I think maybe once a year I order a #PCB and it's perfect on the first try. That just happened to me with this project. I don't have anything to change on my board layout and my AI coded firmware worked perfectly on the very first shot. This christmas tree is one of several circuit board christmas ornaments I'm working on. I'll have them for sale in about October. The brain is an atmel 328pb microcontroller and the leds are ws2812-2020. Most of the other components are decorative. #electronics #neopixel #PCB_art

I got a huge shipment from #JLCPCB today. It's funny how cyclic this #electronics hobby is for me. I spend about 1-3 months designing boards, and put in a huge order because it's cheaper that way. Then I'll think of 3 or 4 more things to add before my order leaves the factory. Then when the order ships, I have no idea what to do with myself for about a week. Then it arrives, and I get to work assembling boards. Inevitably half of the assembled boards will have a bug, so I'll correct them and add a new board to the shopping cart for the next order. And then the cycle repeats! Follow me and I'll post updates of finished boards along the way. I am now armed with a complete smt assembly line in my office so this pile of boards will go really quick. In the pile of boards, I have another revision of several of my clocks, christmas ornaments, a new revision of Reference Circuits Volume 4: #digital_logic , one piece of #PCB_Art a USB-C- PD trigger test board, a new binary clock, and a few others. The big silver things are framed solder paste Sstencils. I'm excited for the three day weekend!
