PCB Assembly

There's not much to report here.  All parts fit correctly.  I suspect ALLPCB from drilling the holes for the PCB studs a bit too large.

Pin 1 of the pin headers was not marked in the silkscreen of the PCB.  This will be fixed in the next revision.

Electronics

Before connecting power, all connections should be checked.  I felt confident enough to skip this step.  The schematics don't contain any new circuitry to me.

Unicorn! Revision 0 is fully functional.

Firmware

The Adafruit GFX is quite nice.  This will be used to provide high level functionality for drawing lines, character sets etc...  I only need to write a low level driver that can color a pixel at the desired coordinate. 

It didn't take too long to get this working.

Next thing is adding dimming functionality.
