All these effects did take a toll on the chip’s memory and so, I had to make some compromises (OK, delete stuff). But finally, […]
20230407 The PCB Redesign
I am starting to think that lighting the cargo bay of the Revell’s Razor Crest is a bad idea. This means I had halt production to re-do the programming of the chip, redesign the circuit board and get more components to prototype the changes. There is a very high chance that I am going to […]
