Congratulations!

For those of us who find such videos physically painful to watch - did he mention the baby's name?

Huxley.

After Aldous, I'm guessing. Though if Dave was an electrophysiologist it might be after Andrew.

More likely after his grandfather....

Ah, perhaps. He was the grandfather of both Aldous and Andrew. They were half brothers...

Congratulations on your shiny new Australian!  ;D

Let us know when you get your first "Hello World" coded on your little project bundle of joy!
Once he gets his first coherent output function, it'll be nothing  but  :blah:

Careful of those other output functions. I hear those can be a real stinker!  :-DD
At least you're a pro though. Pays to have prior experience when taking on these new projects! Don't make it any easier though! :scared:

Congratulations Dave and SWMBO.  :-+
Is there room for expansion, or are 2 modules enough? I hope the projects are compatible even though they aren't a matched pair.
The motherboard may not be able to support additional draw on her supplies.
Also Dave might need to shift to a new enclosure with extra expansion bays for the new module.

Do NOT TRY TO PLUG THEM TOGETHER - even though they're not a matched pair, it may have unexpected consequences.

Having seen Dave's old 4-wheel 'buss' in previous videos, he should be ok, but will need to add an extra 'riser' for Huxley in the rear.

Edit: Look out for leakage of electrolyte over the first year or so.

Don't ask a question if you aren't willing to listen to the answer.

No worries the custom fluke outer casing should contain any leakage as well as transient surge events !......... I hope.

Well done Dave, next time better take a bit more care with the 'Dave cad' doodles.
At least Mrs EEVblog did a proper engineering job .  :)
The odd multimeter or 2 or 3 or 4...or........can't remember !.

Congratulation for the project, to you and also to the Project Manager without whom the result wouldn't so the light of day. I was really sure you were working again on such a project.

I am now somewhat inebriated on Brandy and having said congrats already, I have to admit to having freaked out earlier, I thought someone on the blog had sent Dave a reborn electronics doll !.
Electrons are typically male, always looking for any hole to get into.

Would be interesting to see if the new revision actually fixed the errata in the first, and more importantly, how many new errata were introduced. Not sure if it's the case here (probably not?), but I've heard it's especially interesting if you're dealing with a totally different architecture.

Was a second revision in the plan from the beginning?
Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Cryptocurrency lesson 0: Altcoins and Bitcoin are not the same thing.
