The first photo of a fully-assembled Sprout24 CPU. 25 green circuit boards with surface-mount components, irregularly stacked and connected by pin sockets into one large unit. Currently disconnected from power with none of its LED lights active.

   Welcome to the world, little one.

   Meet the very first Sprout24 CPU, fully assembled tonight for the first time.

   25 circuit boards, 2600+ components, 730 LEDs, 1000+ integrated circuits, 9700+ logic gates, and over 29,000 transistors.

   She's going to be a thing of poetry when she starts executing code.

   I've tested each board individually, but have yet to apply power to the entire thing. I'm not sure I'm ready yet to dare try.
