First Production Boards

A project log for PewPew FeatherWing

A shield for Adafruit Feather boards with buttons and a LED matrix display, for simple games.

The PCBs arrived, and I assemble the first four kits already:

A single kit is 4 pieces: the PCB with all the SMD parts soldered, the two pin headers, and the LED matrix. You will have to solder them all together yourself.

This is for two reasons. FIrst, it's much easier to ship it without the headers on, second, I don't know what headers you have on your Feather, and you need matching ones.

hmm, are there multiple colours to attract collectors? ;)

  Are you sure? yes | no

For now there are only yellow and red. I decided to use the brightest colors, because I'm using black buttons with the production boards — I couldn't find a good source for those in bulk.
