       incredibly, @theawesomerandomness hand picked and placed all 3 of these Quasar modules today (and they are 2 sided!). it's the new beta version PCBs with the 3 processor variants QCS6490, QCS8550 and Q-8750.

       @theawesomerandomness interestingly, the 8750 doesn't have a closed shield at the bottom, so the capacitors are looking through a window in our pcb

       @mntmn @theawesomerandomness The window on the back reminds me of the open back watches, where you can see the mechanism ticking. Cool.

       @mntmn @theawesomerandomness You hand placed that? Gulp!

       @esden @theawesomerandomness yeah we kind of negotiated to do only the bottom side of all 3 today and one top side, but she just soldiered through and did all 3 at once

       @mntmn @theawesomerandomness very impressive! This is quite a complex board. I was complaining the other day how I spent two days assembling some much simpler prototypes 😅

       @mntmn @theawesomerandomness Very nice! Now we just need someone else to make this board, but with B2B mezzanines instead of an edge connector :)

       @StonedEdge @theawesomerandomness can you elaborate, why do you need b2b?

       @mntmn @theawesomerandomness Haha, we dont really! Just a lot of the boards I designed were based on the Compute Module (Rasp Pi) at the time, so it would be nice to have one that uses B2B connectors instead of edge style so I could play around with a Qualcomm module instead of designing my own from scratch like you guys have done beautifully. The Radxa CM5 unit for example I used in the handheld project uses 300 pins, which is a little more than an edge one too!
