To my huge surprise I have received the 1Bitsy 1UP boards today! OSHPark estimated that the boards will arrive at their facility on the 16th so I really was not expecting to get the boards today. This resulted in me not rushing to order the stencils, as I wanted to order them together with something else that I am working on. I went ahead and placed the order today, now I will have to wait a little bit for the stencils. Fortunately OSHStencils is very fast.

I am very excited about the boards, they look really stunning in person. The button placements seems to be in a good spots. The whole device does feel very good to hold, very similar to the original that served as inspiration for the mechanical design. Maybe a little bit more like the pocket due to thickness, even when I mock up the backing plate.

Can't wait to assemble and test the boards and start displaying some graphics on the display. The stencil should arrive here on Friday. So I can spend some of the remaining time writing more software. :D
