alright. on the pictures i don't see too much, but from the description i assume, the pcb houses a usb-connector, a power converter and the mcu, whose gpios are just routed to the pins?
i could do this, but it will be just functional, not pretty or sure to work in any environment (i could not guarantee for esd safety, or emi specifications..)

I think I am going to give KiCad another go.  It has been probably at least 10 years since I tried KiCad.  Realisitically, I should just have to build a footprint for the through holes on the RP2040, then bring that into a pcb, set my drills for the breakout pads, and go from there, correct?  And I really don't need a schematic, I would think.

David Suzuki says the fight for climate change is lost. It's basically all over.

The Postdam Institute's 9 planetary boundaries, Humans have crossed 7.

A single crossing would already represent an existential risk.


On a personal note. Tp4 is surrounded by the Uber Rich. What does that mean.. Best technical description by the Tp4,  If your house has 20x AC heat exchangers, that's what rich is.  4 and below, you're upper middle class.

Point is, there is so much momentum in the system, the average Uber-Riche is so metabolically crippled, alcohol+cholesterol, their brain is plainly not working right. They are not bad people, Tp4 has met exactly 1 person out of 100 which could be classified as "Bad."   But they're all stuck in the doom loop.

There is <1% probability in the powerful/wealthy circle to care or even NOTICE that the world is falling apart.


Tp4 witnessed most recently for the first time, someone spending the maximum $500,000 on a single credit card swipe. Paying the rest of the difference in gold bars. Because heck, gotta have it today.

One would guess NT's psyche degree was made up too.

Sociopathy is an element of personality that everyone has.  To frame the political argument as sociopathy = bad, is an overwhelming over simplification, and explains nothing.

NT needs to stop reading mainstream media. That is not what's happening AT ALL.

I'm convinced there are really only two types of people in American Government right now:
A. Sociopaths who care not about the damage and harm they are causing, knowingly being cruel for the sake of self-serving opportunity.
B. Those who are too fearful of the sociopaths to go against them, knowing if they speak up they will be devoured.

Ruling through naked corruption and fear. It all just happened so quickly and efficiently.

What is really a shame is the heavy damage from this will not kick in for a couple years, and by that time the Dems will have surely taken back the House with all this corruption and racism going on, so they will get the blame from the stupids for millions of Americans getting their healthcare axed. Sick and disgusting game, playing with people's lives. They truly do not give a **** about poor and middle class, and any non-white male.

Miller needs to go back to the smeghole he crawled out of. He needs to straight up not exist anymore.

What we'll have now is kleptocracy like rvss.

It was already mostly that, but now it will be slightly worse, because EVEN-dumber people are in control.
