Yeah! No MBS (Magic Blue Smoke)

Apr 07, 2009 21:18

Today was the first time to fire up of a new product I am designing at work. Over 500 parts and as far as I can tell I didn't make any big mistakes..... yet.  I powered it up, loaded the initial firmware, no Magic Blue Smoke let out, all power supplies look good. Product is 90% working out of the shoot with the first non debugged firmware.

Dam I'm either way to lucky or something big is wrong that I haven't found yet.

I'm feeling relieved. That was the first time I was able to actually see if the thing worked after about 5 months of design work! It always feels good to see things actually work on real hardware after staring at computer models and drawings for so many months.

Wish I could post a picture, but the product is still secret.  Hope it is a good seller, it should be.
