Cramming so much parts into small spaces does not make it look better. Especially when you have some form of pcb layout ocd π
Switching to #kicad v10 half way through wasn't the best idea either.

The photo shows a new arm2sid in an anti electrostatic box next the manual.
Oohh new toys arrived! #armsid #usbsid #chiptunes
The photo shows the lid of a closed laptop full of stickers with all kinds of SID chips and hardware clones and USBSID-Pico 's on top of it.
Making a mess while rewriting the USBSID-Pico automatic Chip and SID detection routine and configuration brings out all the SID's to my desk πΆπΆπ€
Can you spot the ones you have? Haven't got all of them yet!

Non functional power delivery schematic
That feeling when you've ordered 10 power delivery ic's as test for the next usbsid prototype but in my quest for the right ic I made a critical error hehe. I now have 10 ic's on the way for which I have no use at all. The second power rail of this ic is negative voltage, oops.

For anyone interested in USBSID-Pico, I have added gerber files of the v1.3 pcb to github for anyone to use if they want to buy pcb's elsewhere. As extra I have open sourced the kicad files for pcb v1.0 on github.
