The prototype boards arrived today and they look beautiful!

The components should arrive from Digikey tomorrow so one of the boards should be populated soon!  I'm a little nervous about making sure I solder all the smaller packages correctly, especially the TPS63021 SMPS (Can be found to the right of the QFN footprint on the front of the soil probe.
