A PCB I designed on the job over the last weeks shipped today! A benefit of hardware is the haptic element you have at the end of the design process - you made something touchable. (I am proud.)
Also, errors made earlier in the design process are permanent now. But other than on my software my design got reviewed, so I'm optimistic it'll not contain many if any.

I'm on vacation right now for moving stuff but I'm looking forward to do the "pick'n place" on monday. Soldering manually is quite relaxing for me, you should try it, too! ;)

In other news, I'm no longer sleeping on the floor in my home-office while the paint is drying in other rooms.
I already moved the most of my stuff - books and tech equipment are the worst - and I moved my furniture yesterday.
My new roommates are considerably quieter and my sleeping rhythm is slowly shifting back to normal.

    Woohoo! PCB design is so fun! Did you trace it all manually or some autotraceing?

    @epse It is, I love it. :D
    Manually. The autorouter is also fun but overkill for small designs like the one I did.

    @nin0x03 that's what I thought as well. If anyone needs some spare robot PCB's, I've got 10 but only need the one hahaha

    @epse You built a robot? What kind of?

    @nin0x03 I took a cheap ass Disney Wall-e and tore the PCB out and replaced it with my own. Now it is slowly getting more and more clever and at some point will receive a camera and Internet connectivity
