I had pcbs made. For the ar glasses I had a working v0.0.01 (working on a small microprocessor and low battery, with bulky cables but it could run a production ready screen nicely)

Edit: I’m talking about the screen because the hardest part was probably to source it and then interface with it (my screen was 720p and like 1-2inches large which is of course not your standard part).

Also I have to add my background in electronics is being the average arduino tinkerer, having an ambitious project in domains I know better helps finishing stuff too

Dang yeah I personally am an Arduino/RPi/ESP/Teensy tinkerer as well but have yet to actually make own my PCB design (gerber file? or something).

That's a goal in the future, that would pretty neat use Kicad or something.

So what happened to the AR project? Just scrapped it?

I'm backing a PCVR company and they're making small display stuff too it's pretty neat.
