Starlight – Controller PCBs Arrived!

Delivery of new PCBs was delayed because of the holidays but now I finally have a complete set so I can get to work on actual firmware.

Most of the parts are populated; all hand soldered because I was lazy to take out my hot air station. First attempt at TQFP soldering and all went well. Of course, nothing is complete without a bodge. I first soldered the 3.3V PIC instead of the 5V one so the power pad got lifted during desoldering. D’oh!
