I think you won't be able to plug in the vertical UltraSatan:

Maybe for Xmas we will all chip in and get ya a shinny new ruler!! ;)

I guess ya'll know what I'll be doing next ;-)
I'll be out of town for a few days so that won't be before tuesday or something though.

Btw, I was wondering whether those sharp spikes on the sides are in the design or a production 'feature'?

They are a production feature. It’s where they are held onto the bigger manufacturing board ie the snap tag left after milling the board outline.

Now, am I supposed to listen to this while soldering the 1772 buffer prototype?

Someone finally noticed that then :lol:

It was what I was listening to while I was designing the board... and actually has some very fitting lyrics to the board as well....

Well, I enjoyed it :D I've been listening to everything YouTube put up after that. Actually, it was 90% Radio Head. It makes nice soldering music, calming me down before I explode when something goes wrong with the soldering :lol:

Anyway, here's the un-f*ck boards in place, including the 1772 buffer board.

Did some more fixes today, now about half way of the work.

By the way, the green wire in the last picture is a correction for a mistake I made. I pulled a via there :cussing: :pullhair:
But luckily, I could reconstruct it this way :) Phew.
