Sticking these in was worse than the soldering. But we seem to be there.

It is a pity this wasn't designed to blink a LED out of the box, some sort of heartbeat.

I have found one of my FTDI connectors even.

I turned it on.

Stuff came out.

Hurrah? I have a working RC2014 (npub14su…09w8) ... maybe...

Seems to be some issues, maybe its my old FTDI, I should seek out the newer one. On reset it spits junk out, and then often this prompt, but I have no keyboard input for some reason.
