How good does this look!?

PCBWay reached out and offered to sponsor a project and I *had* to do this! This pair of boards replaces the janky "vero" boards in the back of the Nakatomi Plaza RFID reader and I think they turned out great. I spent a lot of time finding the right fonts for the text etc so it's as close as I can make it to "canon" (when you consider RFID hadn't been invented yet... :D).

This is my first manufactured PCB and PCBWay's quoting form was very easy to use, with the naming of the configuration options closely matching the settings of my design in KiCad (the first pic) so I could easily translate between them. PCBWay’s knowledge base was quite useful in getting the right Gerber files out of KiCad too and being able to upload them as part of the quote sped things up a lot. Whilst these boards were sponsored, the cost would have been a lot cheaper than I had assumed, and even the cheapest shipping to Australia took less than 2 weeks.

I'll post another update once the board has been installed, but I’m really happy with the finished quality and how close they matched my vision. Thank you PCBWay!
