More about shimmy

As I'm getting ready to ship 'shimmy' to be manufactured, I'm putting the final touches on it. I recently treated myself to a Wacom Intous5, and you'll be able to see the results below. Too much? ;)

Anyway, since the last update I've added two oversized 0805 pads in series tapping off the 5 V rail so if someone wants to, they can use it for lighting up an LED with a resistor in series. You'll also notice that I've added a QR code on the bottom silkscreen -- I hope that it is large enough to be read correctly after manufacturing. My phone reads the code fine when I print it 1:1. The rest of the changes are cosmetic and minor. 

If you're interested in getting one of these for yourself, let me know so I can +1 the order quantity.

 







You can produce the SVG and Gerbert by pulling the code from the repo and running in the development branch:

  python pcbmode.py -b shimmy -m -g -e -p

That's it!
