Those look gorgeous
This thread needs an update....
Look what showed up in the mail today.
What's the pitch on that MCU package?
Also, what's the purpose of doing the full routing and then having the tabs on there? I assume they'll be broken off?

Looks like its done by oshpark - they leave tabs on. Perforated so they break off nicely.
Here's a macro shot for you..
It's a TQFP-44 package with 0.8mm pin spacing. Here's the summary data sheet
Correct, Oshpark made these. You can see the "mouse bites" around the perimeter of the board. These are what connect boards to the panel as seen here
Oshpark normally removes the connection pieces. I give them a quick filing and they pretty much disappear. I think what PBSteve is asking about is the line of holes on the top and bottom of the board between the mounting tabs. The removable tabs are so the board will mount in different versions of angel frames. The end user removes either the top or bottom tab depending on what frame they have.
Was just going off experience, I've only gotten ones with tabs left on.
Just as beautiful up close.
Also, nice to see a bit of adaptability!

I actually want one. Been meaning to finish a B2K that has a LCD frame on it. I can retrofit anything in it, as i have a Doc Nickel's B2K adapter plate but this looks way to good & i like to support small business with money for their love and hard work.
Very cool! Btw, just released the first version of my open source Etek5 board with Bluetooth 4.1 low energy and IOS App here: https://t3chch3ck.wordpress.com/2015...intball-board/ an on nation.
Your feedback would be appreciated.
