Successfully duplicated your work... runs fine on Pop OS Linux #4

Not really an issue but this seemed to be the best place to share.

I took all your generous work and reproduced a working board for my Framework 16 running Pop OS 22.04.

I used Osh Park for the board service, have two spare PCB's

I bought the parts from LCSC as you recommended. Have enough parts for at least 5 units.

Bribed a coworker who is much better at soldering to do assembly. Called in another favor with a coworker who printed the enclosures on a Formlabs printer.

Got lazy and skipped the fasteners because my 3D print is brittle and the fit was fantastic.

Have a Logitech dongle embedded as well as a cheap Ant+ dongle and both appear to work fine.

Thank you!

really appreciate the post @davidsmoot . Do you have any comment on battery life? sounds from the docs like a continuous 50mA draw is expected, but does this affect sleep? As we saw with the gen1 hdmi adapters, sleep can be dramatically affected, and not in ways I at least am qualified to predict.

Thanks @LeoDJ for the work, this is super promising!!

To be honest, I don't know. Have not run much on battery. Have not noticed anything dramatic. If there is a tool / test that I can run, I would be happy to. Let me know
