Thunderscope update: My take: Why open source is better


I've spent the last month-and-a-half heads down on the PCB layout for Rev 5…

High effort silkscreen aside, I’m especially proud of fitting the ADC, Clock Generator, FPGA and all their power supplies under the heatsink. The rewriting design rules bit doesn’t work all that well given the slight discrepancy with the KiCad reported lengths and the whole delay-to-length conversion just assuming top layer for everything. To keep myself accountable, I will be using GitHub Issues to publicly track the tasks left before shipping, so check those out if you’re ever wondering how things are going between updates.
