Converting the Relay Computer Front Panel Microcode Prototype to a PCB
Need quality PCBs, 3D printing, injection molding or even sheet metal fabrication? Then check out https://www.pcbway.com/ After many months of testing the prototype for the Front Panel Microcode, it's finally ready for prime time by getting a conversion to a PC board. This involves first converting it to a schematic, and then designing the PCB from the ground up, and the end result was well worth the wait! 💡 Join the crew on Patreon for exclusive content, early access, and insider perks — and help keep retro computing alive! / dipdot Thanks for watching, and as always I welcome any feedback or ideas for future projects!
