Trying a new PCB

A project log for Star Trek Communicator Badge

In the true spirit of Star Trek, this communicator badge is completely autonomous, while fitting in the form factor of an original badge

Well, still no luck getting the current PCB up and running with the Teensy. I have decided to try making a new one.

The main challenge I think is that I am trying to go straight from breadboarding to miniaturization. This makes it a bit harder to debug, not to mention solder. Right now I am not using a stencil which makes the solder paste application very tedious and error prone. Hopefully these improvements will make it a bit easier. You can find the new board on oshpark here:

Hi, thanks for sharing your project!  Unfortunately, the "order from OSH Park" link appears to just go to the image file, not your shared project page.

Thanks, I think I fixed it.
