CircuitBrains Campaign Ending Soon!
Hi all. I wanted to thank you all so much for the support on this campaign. The campaign is drawing to a close and it's not quite funded yet. It's so close! If you've been delaying until the very end, this is it. Get your last minute pledges in. I also wanted to provide something back to all our supporters so I made a video that shows how I do surface mount prototype assembly using a solder stencil and solder paste. Read the full update.
