Screwing up is easier than ever before!
summary
Claim: modern hardware hacking is cheap and fast — PCBs from Shenzhen arrive in a week, 10 boards for $20 and parts for about $30. Workflow uses KiCad and Rust with a $25 USB microscope and a basic soldering station. Concrete failures: wrong voltage‑regulator pinout that makes smoke, reversed tantalum caps mark positive learned the hard way, then a quick respin and the LED blinks. Demonstration shows iterative fixes, parts replaced, and a working board.
