My first project where I designed a PCB from scratch was a Nixie clock. That was > 10 years ago. It died recently, so I'm taking this opportunity to design an updated version, seen here on breadboards. Hardware is complete, software is next.

Ports 33-40 on switch 1 of my Cisco 2960X stack have died, both the PoE power and the Ethernet connectivity. I have another one but not sure what condition it is in.

Got fed up with janky breadboards that don't make good connections, so I bought 1 of every kind I could find and compared them all, then bought 20 of the best one.

5 Raspberry Pi 4 built and configured to replace the older RPi units. All PoE power.

Since I already have 96 PoE ports, I'm converting all of my Raspberry Pis to PoE and eliminating all of the 5v USB cables
