After sleeping in a bit, most of today was spent on the mainboard for x0xb0x #888. Everything went quite well, the board cleaned up great, and it’s ready to hook up in the case. I even made a particular point of soldering all sealed components before washing, then doing electro-mechanical parts afterward with no-clean flux. I haven’t always been this particular in the past, and having to occasionally avoid a switch or button while scrubbing the flux off was a hassle.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I’m hoping to start on painting the back panel, possibly adding a power switch, and assembling everything for its first full-system test and (hopefully) tuning. I’ve already confirmed functionality of the power supply and USB (which the FT232BM from yesterday handles), so that’s a good start.<\/p>\n

Here’s two more photos from today’s work:<\/p>\n
