Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3 Layer Scans

I'm doing full teardown of the Raspberry Pi Zero v1.3.

I'm going to make the gerber files for it as well but I doubt it's possible to assemble this at home. The main chip is actually two, BGA chips stacked on top of each other and it honestly looks like nightmare to solder.

Viture Pro Teardown

Hey everyone

I've bought the Viture Pro glasses for super cheap since they were destroyed by the previous owner.

I've recorded the short teardown video (not sure I will upload it)

I can confirm though that those glasses use ECX348E display from Sony and the birdbath modules are super easy to take out and be re-purposed.

If you can buy those glasses and know how to make ...

Imagine board which has all of the required stuff in it - FLCoS driver, HDMI converter and Gyro core board. All in one PCB.

All of this will be of course plugged in via USB-C cable which will deliver all ...
