Back at around february PCBWAY was nice enough to offer me a small sponsorship to bring my final idea of the BANDIT to the real world. 

Today I'd like to show you the boards I got and how the final prototype came out

The boards came in nicely protected in foam, even though the box had been treated roughly as its customary the insides were safe and nicely sealed

Got sent 5 boards sealed + 1 extra also sealed

There was a detail in specific that I had addressed during the design, a small appendage board that was to be soldered to the we-act RP2350 board to allow for battery backed memory

The tolerances came out just about right on the keys which was very nice and the surface finish was surprisingly flat so it was easier to solder on.

The little appendage board turned out to work flawlessly when soldered in place of the SPI flash

At this point I'd finished the assembly with a 3.5 inch screen

So am still on the process of building the final boards and testing this one to get drivers working properly, but thanks a lot to PCBway and Liam who were very attentive and easy to work with!
