This is a seriously impressive project and it's been fun to follow along.
I almost hesitate to say anything, but the constant scope creep (that he readily admits in the blog) is starting to feel like a real obstacle to getting anything done. It's fun to see all of the theorizing about 96-port switches with $11K of FPGAs, but it would be fantastic if something like the simple 4-port switch design could be spun out as an open source project that people could iterate on.
I've also been following his solder-in probe projects for years ( https://www.antikernel.net/products.html ). There was a small Kickstarter and some reviews, but now the one distributor has 404s on the product pages and there are a lot of "coming soon" labels attached to all the different products and variations. Again, it would be fantastic if just one of those projects was available in distribution semi-reliably.
