I think you won't be able to plug in the vertical UltraSatan:

I guess ya'll know what I'll be doing next ;-)
I'll be out of town for a few days so that won't be before tuesday or something though.

Btw, I was wondering whether those sharp spikes on the sides are in the design or a production 'feature'?

They are a production feature. It’s where they are held onto the bigger manufacturing board ie the snap tag left after milling the board outline.

Someone finally noticed that then :lol:

It was what I was listening to while I was designing the board... and actually has some very fitting lyrics to the board as well....

Well, I enjoyed it :D I've been listening to everything YouTube put up after that. Actually, it was 90% Radio Head. It makes nice soldering music, calming me down before I explode when something goes wrong with the soldering :lol:

Anyway, here's the un-f*ck boards in place, including the 1772 buffer board.

By the way, the green wire in the last picture is a correction for a mistake I made. I pulled a via there :cussing: :pullhair:
But luckily, I could reconstruct it this way :) Phew.
