Like a kid on Christmas waiting for a new toy.

Checking out the Seeed Studio facility! Not allowed to take photos, but pretty fun to see the office and factory in action. Map shows everywhere in China the @huggingface Reachy was source from.

Do they play music? Yes Do they have UV protection? Questionable #Shenzhen

This is the weirdest IC footprint I've seen and was convinced I'd made a mistake. Nope. Board for the @opulo Lumen PnP feeder. Designed for BOTH a STM32F031 LQFP48 AND a UFQFPN32, stacked on top of each other. Designed during chip shortage. Very clever.

Good morning Hong Kong!

I always love model annotation day. We have the ML flywheel going now: pick and place accuracy improves with each job!

Heard from a few manufacturers in Shenzhen that they're also frustrated with JCLPCB, feeling squeezed out.

Testing DRC tools that display and *resolve* errors quickly without another trip to the EDA (with user approval of course). Using an MCP service, we have simple tools to move offending traces, increase annular ring size, etc.

Super excited to announce PCB fabrication! We're partnering with a local *US Fab*! Aiming for 5 day turnaround (but we're in beta, some time for panel filling...) Starting at just $1 in2 for 4-layer, $0.75/in2 for 2-layer! www.pikkoloassembly.com/panel-pricing

Every time I think electronics manufacturing in the US **couldn't possibly** be this messed up... ... turns out it's even more messed up.

The site say "$1 Setup Special" for US-based, low volume PCBA... That's can't be right...

Stop hunting for parts during PCB assembly. On Pikkolo- even *this* would be a totally valid BOM.

Matching parts from your BOM to an actual purchase with a vendor is such a pain. With the BOM Part matcher, quickly match any CSV to in-stock parts at multiple vendors, then download a properly formatted file. youtu.be/AuY1XW1xh3w?...
