I think this was the fastest PCB shipment I ever got from JLPCB.
The smd components from LCSC are still in the mail. I'm really crossing my fingers here hoping I routed everything correctly and it works on the first go. Knowing how things go if that happens I'll be surprised. I do not have an oscilloscope so if there are issues it will take a while to diagnose.
I also made and ordered a PCB at same time for the dual 555 timer metal detector. The original build was on a protoboard with lots of wires.

I dont have an oven or a hot plate, so the first assembled 555 timer will all be done wit a soldering iron. It will be very tedious.
