The moment I saw a PCB ruler I had to have one. But none that I could find quite fit my needs, so I made my own 6" PCB ruler. After receiving an overwhelmingly positive reaction around the internet I decided to try a Kickstarter campaign. It was very successful, and I was eager to do it again. The 6" ruler was cool, but it was just too small to pack everything I wanted onto the ruler. So, I made another 12" PCB ruler. The 12" ruler was another successful Kickstarter campaign.

About the ruler:

A 12″ PCB ruler featuring the Raspberry PI 4 GPIO pin out, Arduino pin outs, and commonly used electronic components all on one easy to use reference! It’s a sleek ruler that’s about as unusual as they come. It’s fabricated using tough FR-4 PCB material with a green or black solder mask. The copper has a gold plated finish.
