      Working on some hardware designs today. My next project is a dream come true for me, and for anyone who taught themselves to build circuits.

      Announcement: I'm working with Forrest M. Mims to bring his designs out of his amazing hand-drawn books to real life, as PCBs. Stay tuned!

      Progress update here! Week 1—I scoured Forrest Mims' books for which projects I'll work up. Going to start out with seven initial projects.

      Week 4 that board took longer to complete than I thought it would, but done. Prototypes shipped!

          Just realized I have turned 3 completely distinct design iterations of this board in 8 weeks, from a cold start. Actually that's quite fast.

          That is, 3 different design concepts for a board, each of which I have never tried before.

          (Software people don't laugh! 2 weeks is even fast for a factory to turn a board. If you haven't, imagine a compile process involving USPS.)

          I have a panel from the Octopart Card project https://www.crowdsupply.com/octopart/octopart-pocket-electronics-reference-pcb … I keep over my desk, to remind myself what a "fast" project is like.

          I seem to have about 12 design iterations of that in EAGLE, & many more I prototyped other ways (Illustrator e.g.)

          So, tl:dr; Hofstadter's Law is real, and iterating quickly is the path to perfection. Also I shld 🙏get next boards back this wknd. 😁

          Week 10 shipped a 3rd rev (actually rev 9, but 3rd to manufacture) and fretted over aesthetics, parts selection, soldermask colors.
