20250930 Spinner: Top Revolving Light New PCB Design pt.3

The SMD LEDs I ordered some time ago has arrived just today. I have finished quite a lot of them and well, its either that or I’ve kept them somewhere else and forgot all about it. 20251020 Update Instead of creating a new post, I am going to put it here. 20 days later, the […]

Understandably, JLCPCB confirmed this when I uploaded the design. So, most of the day was spent on trying to figure […]
