SparkFun will be closed on Tuesday, November 5th to support our team in being able to go out and vote! Orders placed after 2 pm MT Monday, November 4th will ship on Wednesday, November 6th. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
If you've ever wondered how our boards are made, you're in luck today! This behind the scenes video gives you a front row seat to every step of production of the QuickLogic Thing Plus, from the components getting soldered on all the way to packing the red box that ends up in your mailbox.
Our boards are manufactured at SparkFun HQ in Colorado by our highly skilled employees, and all these tools are right here in the warehouse.
Which part could you watch on repeat all day?
Great video!
Reminds me of the time I took the tour of SparkFun a few years ago when I was passing through Colorado. I think a few things have changed since then -- I don't remember the wave soldering machine, nor the automatic visual inspection. Are you still giving the tours?
You didn't show my favorite part, though: the delight of finding the package in my mailbox or on my doorstep! ;-)
BTW, on the rare occasions that I get to talk to a UPS, FedEx, or USPS delivery person I always thank them for their service! They are great workers!
