First draft of a small project page for the #NeXT #SoundBox mini. I will successively create similar project pages for the other models (#NeXTcube, #MegaPixel Display).
In front of it a landing page listing this and upcoming project pages.

So, enough "Liquid Glass". I have really important things to do. Lets route something. 
To find parts on #LSCS when you don't know there exact name is quite challenging... 
The postman brought me a few Pi Pico Stamps this morning. They’re little-er in person than I was expecting. (Can a PCB be cute?)

When designing a #PCB and I need some "Goldfingers", how do I should design that? What to use in the schematic to get the correct footprint in the PCB?
What do think? Does it make sense to give the different net's in the schematic different colors for better visibility?
Am I missing something? The datasheet for the PCM2706PJT says "C5; 0.1uF ceramic capacitor". So, the schematic shows a wrong symbol, doesn't it? 
This was a fast one. Last night I designed a small 2 layer #GPIO stacking header board for the #RaspberryPi that will be used in my #NeXTcube mini to provide a power and activity LED. It's in production at #JLCPCB already.
Hey #electronic bubble. This is my very first #pcb design for a #USB mono speaker. It contains a 2706 DAC and a PAM8302 mono amp.
So, does this make any sense from the electrical pov?
Okay, I've now realised that it's helpful to look at the specs of certain chips and their reference schematics firsthand. This stuff is usually extremely well documented and a lot can be deduced from it.
Hey #electronic bubble: I need a bit help to find a specific chip. It's the little guy on the image. I just can tell that it is a USB DAC (PCM2704?). Unfortunately I can't find any specs for it.
Any ideas?
Lesson learned: Always triple-check your footprints.
I designed the footprints for the audio jacks from the datasheets.
Then, when the items arrived, I made sure the measurements were fine.
Now the boards arrived - and the footprints are mirrored 
Well, now they have to go on the underside the PCBs. Looks fine, too.

My first self-designed PCBs arrived today from @aislerhq
They look great, and I immediately spotted an error in my #KiCad settings: the copper fill doesn't have any clearance at the edge.
Will fix this for my next ones.
These are a minified version of my mixer and are already obsolete. I will still solder one, regardless.

Before and after hot plate soldering.
Guys.. please... stop using your soldering irons at >350º celsius... You are just obliterating your tips...
It is the fifth time that I see a video of dudes roasting their tips at 480º celsius...
If 350º (max) is not enough for you, change to an another tip shape or help your soldering iron with the hot air gun or a preheater platform.
