## LEGO demo
See the [LEGO code](legocode) for some examples of how to use the SSoS device with LEGO.

## Smaller
The (LEGO) enclosure is 4×8 LEGO units (studs). But LEGO technic components need to have odd length.
So I set out to miniaturize the Seven Segment over Serial, making a Seven Segment over Serial Small (SSoSS).
Target is 3×7. To achieve this, I made a single PCB, containing both the "Nano" and the 7-segment units.
Section [version 2](electronics2) shows the schematics and the unexpected flashing problems.

Miniaturization is achieved by using the SMT service of [JLCPCB](https://jlcpcb.com/DMP).

The [flashing](flashing) took some trial and error.


## Assembly

Once the firmware was correctly working, it was flashed, and I could proceed with final assembly.
The components "brace" each other, so once assembled, there is little opportunity for changes.
