The PCBs all just arrived! I ordered 5 of them, and I tested them with a continuity meter, particularly for the power connections, and I am happy to log that there are no islands! It is beautiful watching the board of such sophisticated nature, realizing that I remember placing every single trace!

Five 07_alu boards on the desk — Tomato ALU 8 bit, July 2026.

Five boards. Lot 07, as received.

Continuity meter on the 07_alu power rails — no islands.

Continuity on power. No islands.

I had to admit to my roommate: isn't it hilarious that all this I have been working on, I did it all by myself? Buying a multimeter, an FPGA, using KiCad, down to this project. It has been a long and interesting journey!

The boards look stunning!
