PCBs are here!

PCBs have arrived!  As expected, the boards have mouse bites on them which will definitely prevent the board from sitting inside the housing.  I expected this, so if figured I would have to sand down the edges once the boards arrived.  But once the mouse bites were sanded, the boards were just a hair too long still.  So I just kept sanding!  Maybe another 100 microns or so and the boards fit just fine. Ran out of time today, so tomorrow I will check the continuity of the traces and perhaps even solder components
