The tinyK20 boards are now used in several projects. Initially I was considering a commercial USB thumb drive enclosure for it. But this needed some tweaking of the enclosure so at the end it was not ideal. 3D printing is probably that hot topic for 2016. So why 3D printing an enclosure for that board?
3D Printed Enclosure for the tinyK20 board
First off: The tinyK20 project is progressing fine and is now on Hackaday.io :-).
For a research project we would like to use the tinyK20 to log gyro sensor data. For this I have created a quick-n-dirty project to explore how feasible it is. The tinyK20 has all the pins on the outside of the board, so I’m able to put it on a bread board:

One day earlier than expected, our tinyK20 boards arrived, and they are looking great :-):

New pictures from the manufacturing process of the tinyK20 boards. Now all parts to be populated have been arrived at the manufacturing, so populating the boards can start soon:

The manufacturing of 200 tinyK20 board is progress, and I’m sharing pictures of it :-).
