First prototype fully assembled and working! New PCB revision is almost done but this version is fully functional (just with some workarounds) for my band-mate and a few other folks to test. I found a potential partner for making printed and cut enclosures too!

Retrograde Orbit testing has been a glorious success I would say! A few issues which will require another prototype PCB but generally it's kicking ass! Here's a peek at the next prototype PCB.

Behold! Retrograde Orbit! I need to make some tweaks to the firmware from the WaveBoy version and will deffo need a PCB revision for a few oopsies, but it's working pretty awesome for a first prototype!

Initial power tests for #RetrogradeOrbit! No magic smoke came out and the voltages seem to be correct in the right places!

Not my cleanest prototype but here's the bottom half of Retrograde Orbit's PCB minus the jacks (and C8). I'll do initial power testing soon. I still need to start work on the pedal-specific firmware, but things are coming along well enough!

WaveBoy 0.71 is now out! Details here:

In super brief, delay has been renamed to Retrograde Orbit (and works properly now); and Sampler patches have been reworked.

The PCB fairy arrived and dropped off these goodies!
