I will no longer be posting anything here, and this account will not be active. Supporting this platform does not agree with my values, and recent events (the salute) made this incredibly clear. --Jan Rychter (PartsBox founder)

My Glasgow from @1bitsquared just arrived and I'm impressed. Little things that matter: labeled cables, symmetric identical A/B ports. Big things that matter: I was able to run the software on the first try. That doesn't happen often. Thanks @whitequark @awygle @marcan42!

Did you know: You can now archive old projects instead of deleting them. Archiving hides a project from view while retaining all its data and build history. The project won't appear in the project table but can be accessed via direct links.
