I’ve been having a sort through my stockpile of boards and components and found enough spare parts to assemble more of the Festive Fireplaces.

PCB Pin Badges – Skeletor
In previous posts I’ve talked about some of the difficulties I’ve had converting vector drawings to PCB layouts in Eagle. After discovering a video by Twinkle Twinkie where he shows off his workflow I thought I’d follow along and see what came out. The result is the Skeletor “Myah!” badge.
(more…)DirtyPCBs Fabrication (Update)
After selling all of the first batch of PCBs from DirtyPCBs, I put in an order for a second batch. They arrived this week so I thought I’d put together a quick update.
