I haven’t really been doing much work the next version pi.1 in a while which was to be mainly cosmetic changes that basically does nothing but make lines look prettier. And add a few decoupling caps that don’t seem to be needed anyway. So pi.1 is basically vaporware at this point.

Pi.0 has proven to be basically a finished product. I have been using my interposer for some time now without any issues.

Just found this thread. Is anybody making these currently? I would be interested in a few. I have not read through all the posts.

Not that I am aware of, you can order parts and put it together yourself 😀

I'm considering building some of these as I have a couple of CPUS I'd like to put through their paces. Are there any gotchas, when it comes to construction that I should consider or look out for when ordering parts or building?

Mine is still working well.

I have pondered trying to solder it but pressed in has been working.
