Here's the Seequa Chameleon video circuit. Now to just wire everything up in KiCad...

Aligned to the original 3D scan, we can now make some of the chips "invisible" in our Kicad reference image.

A new KiCad reference image for the top side of the Seequa Chameleon motherboard.  A photo of the newly stripped section of the PCB has been overlaid over the original 3d scan, making the chips appear transparent and ghostly.

You can do a lot with just a connectivity tester, but sometimes you really do need to look under the chips, because yeah.
