Really cool tech though.

Sometimes it’s just more satisfying to do the prototype entirely by hand.

i didn’t like looking at the back…looked like a really bad perfboard layout ;)

Back is pretty crazy – at some point I think it’s worth your sanity to just have a PCB made (particularly with services like batchpcb around.)

Would have truly been digital dice then. :D
