I did however assemble this 4th test pcb which was almost guaranteed to be fine!

NEW! USB Power Breakout for Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2.
Allows you to power your Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 from a USB port, keeping your GPIO pins free for HATs (because a stacking header isn't always ideal)

When your friend gets some designs made but can’t solder for toffee to fix their mistakes 🤪 an hour lost this morning bodging these.

New KeepAlive design and was curious about heat generated. Seems to top out at 55 degrees which I can live with and shouldn't pose any problems. Tis a friends FLIR so great to be able to borrow and get insights like this.

I need some kind of system. Decided on a small cleanup today and I’ve pcbs all over the place, this is just a sample of what I’ve found so far. Need to be ruthless and bin things! #pcb #electronics

Very satisfying when you design a pcb which has to fit an existing case and it just slots in nicely. Shame it needs a redesign but i know this part works! #pcb #electronics

Torn on this one. I do feel it’s a nicer design with the esp as a module and also screen / spare IO I just wonder if it’s worth the risk of getting 100 pcba. Tis a solar charge controller board for epever/solice.
