Finished the rest of the boards, managed to flash with the Discovery board successfully. Getting the complaint about the SDcard partition so I'll do that tomorrow and check it. Peter updated the video as I was a bit confused about what type of capacitors went in each location for the I2C board. The BOM came to the rescue though! I did the +5V rail testing, all seemed good before switching on :-)

Hey, Bit of feedback from me too. I've completed the wCore, USB, RES-SD, Midi8, and starting on the I2C and Line boards. Very well laid out, and excellently notated boards. Symbols and writing are clean and obvious - amazing work guys particularly Latigid on The video is excellent, clear and well paced. I'm impressed on how you (Peter) made links to each section of the video/build. SMT... I've done lots of through-hole, but I've only ever soldered a few caps on a broken JP-8000 before but took the plunge with the method from the SMT tutorial and it was a breeze. The only complex bit is getting the right amount of paste on, and struggling with syringes that won't suck in enough paste! I've got a STM32F407G core, and intend on using that to flash the Waveshare. It would be helpful to provide a link in the video info text (youtube) to where info on this process is. I'll certainly be hunting it down myself later today. Might be good to provide some "test as you go along" info. I don't know how feasible this is as I'm not that savvy with the design side, but I always find it helpful when doing a build where the tutorial makes me check certain sections before I embark on building the rest and then not knowing where to start on diagnosing issues (hundreds of solders are hard to check for cold solders etc) Overall, excellent and really fun build. Can't wait for the next essential kit! Oh, and the BLM mention in the video has got me hyped for that now too. King Regards, Keir

Incredibly excited for this. Got a fair amount of the components together so eager for the boards etc!

Me too! Got the Waveshare board today, plus with Maplin going down in the UK, managed to make some savings on basic components. So next month will get most of the rest that I couldn't get from Maplin and eagerly await the PCBs!

Very excited by this, great stuff so far. Working on a core at the moment in anticipation!
