As I wait on the final parts for the Saturn restoration, the next project is already underway! Sega Genesis Model 1 VA6.5 using Zaxour 阿宅 awesome 3BPv2+ from OSH Park.

More perfect purple PCBs from OSH Park

I love OSH Park for tiny PCBs. I almost just tried soldering this up into an inline wiring loom, but this was just so much cleaner. Hopefully no more overtemp warnings when the printer is enclosed, without needing to run it constantly when it isn't needed.

I just received some test boards from OSH Park for my upcoming talk at Crowd Supply Teardown 2024.
I ordered the same design in purple and in after dark.
The test circuits were so small I had to add another adapter design to meet the minimum size.

Looks like I have some soldering to do.
