assembling a few more OtterCam-s3‘s today.

this board is somewhat of a nightmare fuel to networks people, please note the ethernet decoupling.. ~ :3c
@janamarie did… did you use capacitive coupling for ethernet?!

@slyka mayb

@janamarie you deserve to get your sensors delivered to you like that <.<

@slyka @janamarie it certainly does work

speaking of…
this is how the image sensors were delivered. How does that make you feel?

I got this board assembled from JLCPCB, but a lot of components are still missing. This is mostly due to this board being one of the very early boards running through their PCBA process! I actually wrote on their blog about how the PCBA process works at the time, they allowed me to test it very early :3
@janamarie o.0 wdym test early?… i've used their pcba like 4 years ago???? 0w0

@valpackett this board is older then

@janamarie oooh you mentioned 2021 and that's when the actual pcb was made i seeee

@slyka I don't believe in the concept of deserving, but sure

@janamarie sorry, was just a dumb joke… >.<

two lovely beings recently started working on the firmware again, we now have a bare Debian Linux running on it, 'just' missing the image sensor driver and the mipi to encoder to USB/Ethernet stream pipeline… how ward can it be, right?
we have been working on this since *checks the note on the pcb* 2021.. 
@janamarie good things take time

@slyka don't worry, I liked it!

two of them! The second one was more nasty to solder, I was still faster, but it wouldn’t want to boot the first two tries
I think they are super cute, so small and they boot linux! The boards are just 50x50mm, you can make this a whole lot smaller of course, the OtterCastAudioV2 was smaller, but still.. :3

@janamarie how broken are they?

@Hammi they are just fine, don't worry :3

sensor soldering time!

@janamarie BGA soldering always makes be extremely nervous. Good luck!

got them mostly cleaned off and ready to be soldered, here goes nothing..
