I am happy that you were so inspired by the bitaxe project!! I really hope that by keeping this Bitcoin mining hardware (and firmware) open source we can start a chain reaction of development (again) in this space!
Im also pretty jealous that you are going to be working on this full time. Thats going to be awesome! If I could find a way to make that work, Id do it in a heartbeat.
As for PCB printers, what models are you looking at? I used the Voltera several years ago and decided it wasnt quite there for prototyping with fine pitch SMD parts (everything these days).
LFG!!
Thank you for your warm welcome. Means a lot. Was so nervous people would be less than encouraging.
Very excited to dig in and dedicate myself to this Grassroots initiative. Lots to learn. Focusing on your Github. The information is clear and easy to understand. Now it is time for myself to put in some work and start contributing to the knowledge pool. Have a couple ideas that are being put together. Got the Github page up. Right now.. Studying none stop. The information on these chips is so obscure. Obscure by design my guess is.
Funny you mentioned the Voltera. This is the exact pcb printer watching. VOLTERA V-ONE PCB PRINTER (1000329)

This the model you have worked with? Any good? Recommendation for printers that would functions for rapid prototyping?
Already started pulling ASIC chips from my S9, S17 and S19 hashboards today. Gathering some of the smaller parts for the next stages of prototypes.
