NYU ITP Welcome Week

This week is Welcome Week at NYU. Over the next two years I will be pursuing a Master of Professional Studies from  NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program and as part of the program I will be documenting my work here! This will include successes and failures, and ultimately the processes of iterating until getting something right. This section of my site is all about process. If you are interested in seeing polished final work head over to “Interactive” in the menu above!

JLCPCB was $26.36 for 10 boards. Aside from a higher cost OSHPark also left sharp bits of tabs around the edges of the boards which […]

As part of the process I went through each component and made sure they were placed a closely as possible to […]
