Hi Everyone! People are starting to report that they have received their PSDR1 boards! Nricciar has been keeping me updated with his progress. And he's doing a great job of documenting it along the way. That's his picture above. Check it out! (I hope you don't mind my linking this!)

That picture includes a VERY IMPORTANT FIX! See under "C10" there are two traces that need to be swapped or you will blow the STM32F4! (Unfortunately he found that out himself before I could warn him. Hopefully that hasn't happened to anyone else yet!) I've been meaning to make a video that shows how the PSDR1s need to be built up, but I haven't been able to get to it yet. Sooo busy.

I will make a video for that soon, but I still haven't made my official project video for the HackADayPrize and the deadline is only a few days away, so I'll probably do that first. Those that are building, the above fix is the only one that must be done to avoid damage.... I probably need to make a FAQ too... Hmmm.
