After soldering all components on the board I can say that even with rubbing out the whole board I had a lot of problems with unintentional shorts to lines running close to pins on the component side. It's very hard to solder such a complex double sided board without through-plated holes and soldermask. > You just use up a lot more router bits that way. Yes, I was concerned about the wear of the router bits. But since people in the lab proposed the rub out and it's their machine, who am I to argue with them :) Best regards Tomaz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFu6ZfsAlAlRhL9q8RAnhwAKDWmUw/PpxyPqiyd7YghkdqwS0FzgCg28Gx isGrmzNP/PpXdOAstWHRIsU= =lTxX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
