this is the largest circuit board i've ever completely reverse engineered. 8 layers, larger than a sheet of paper, 1000s of nets, over 1000 parts. 🧵
colorful circuit board in a layout program. each layer is a different color. it's complicated!

what's really useful is that i now have the complete schematic, which i used earlier today to repair one of these cards that was broken. and best of all, i've released it so anyone else can see it: github.com/schlae/hp16717. so if you have an obscure HP logic analyzer, check it out!

[PRIVATE MESSAGE to any Hollywood bigwigs reading this and looking for movie ideas]

“Inventor of the QR Code”
- Opening scene shows a person inventing the QR code
- Rest of the film is a flashback to how the person invented the QR code

The rest writes itself. Let's get this into production ASAP.
