@Edent@mastodon.social Sadly, I guess, this creates a bias for the PCB designs. Whilst I do not go out of my way to make them expensive for someone to make in small quantities, the design choices are based on the fact that I order in several 100's at a time, and not for someone ordering 10 for themselves. If you want 10, buy from me, after all...
It is a bias that is hard to avoid.
A second design for small orders?
A third design for hand build?
Not crazy, but lower priority for now.

@Edent@mastodon.social Money always steers design choices in some way or another, and very hard to avoid that. That said, the code is very much geared to be flexible (e.g. with GPIO assignment and polarity, etc) and to allow for people to run (as they do) on common general purpose boards. So there is a path to that, which I have no plans to close in s/w design.
