New PCBs ordered
Well issues with the aluminum PCBs finally got me to realize these could not be used at OpenSauce. The problem is that the through hole mistake means the solder really doesn't have much to adhere to, I ordered some Lead Free solder and paste to see if I could make it harder, but as I picked up the boards to examine them if they fit onto a 3D printed tray, all the leads popped off. This might work with some epoxy, but only for testing. So, ordered new ones from JLPCB last night and did a quick rev of the Nano board as well.
Cost for the PCBs:
5 of the Aluminum LED : $5
5 of the Nano : $2
Shipping: $45
If i had anything I could do to the Mega one I'd through in some fixes, but I honestly don't have much there to do. I was noodling with putting a bigger display on it, maybe touchscreen, but that probably would work fine with the existing board, and I'd have to cable it to a case anyhow.
