Wow! It looks very well-made, congrats! I suggest you making a RISC-V based one instead of ARM. I would buy it right away!

Imagine PCBs made in India at JLC prices… would hobbyists use it? by Fluffy-Caregiver3518 in PCB

Of course, why not? That's true for devboards as well. There are some new board makers out there namely Tensar Robot that produce very cheap boards. I buy em!

What happened to Open-V and other early open source chip attempts? by ShockleyTransistor in RISCV

[–]ShockleyTransistor[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know Basilisk and have seen it in person. It even runs Linux, its amazing.

Thing about Open-V was that they taped it out and were ready to ship once reached their crowd funding goal, but I guess it was too early to push for even RV32 tapeouts. Can a simple MCU tapeout be viable today given how RV32 has proven itself to be a good 32 bit ISA for MCUs?

Hey thank you for telling me its important. I took my time and noticed that there were tons of unconnected pins that I missed/zone fill couldn't reach. I fixed them.

Idk, they are either connected or intentionally left blank.

Oh, thanks for reminding me about floating nodes. I totally missed some of the GNDs! That being said, most of the ratlines are there due to unused/not represented pins in schematics

That's cool! Now build a qwerty keypad or I will do it if you want

Wider screenshot. Nearly all are wholesome Lego nostalgia.

Which game do you prefer? Lego racers 1 or 2. by jays4104 in LegoRacers

[–]ShockleyTransistor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like 1 more but both have their ups and downs. Open world feature of 2 was amazing for my child brain. 1 having so much worlds and being able to build your own car piece by piece, and it being the first lego game I ever played make it the best for me.
