    DO you have video that demonstrates how much power the standard trace can hold. I made a 36v to 48v dc booster and I'm afraid of ordering till I know if my traces can handle 40 amps. Not going to lie I've been confused when I see the power coming out of some board's vs the thickness of some of my wires that burnout at 40amps.

    It's amazing how far they've come compared to 3 years ago o.o

    Of the ~$6 per board – how much of the cost was parts and how much assembly? I wanted to get an idea of costs.

    Is WaY cheaper than DigiKey's service for prot prototype runs. 165$ with smd assembly vs 155$ for just 4 boards bare. 5 boards from jlpcb bare was like 10$

    Can't use anything but green soldermask? That's kinda arbitrary with no obvious reason such as machining difficulty…

    careful with jlcpcb. My bank account was hacked from using jlcpcb. They stole over 500$ from me. chances are that they are stealing your pcb designs as well. DO NOT TRUST CHINA!!!

    Why do you need to have the worlds smallest tree PWN controller? There was loads of space on that fencing! 🤣

    shipping cost to latin america is ridicully high the same shipping to USA cost 100USD to Colombia 500USD this is an insult

    My use of JLCPCB wasnt good, as i am making parts for Switching, a no SolderMask on some of it and they EMAIL ME and EMAIL me and Email me every time on every board. Even tho in the Past they have been OK with it i said OK with it. They Keep EMAIL me and Wasting TIME for a WHOLE WEEK

    how i feel i am Looking for a ANOTHER COMPANY .. Third time they Flipped around so MUCH and they dont give a HOOT about it .. i guess CHEAP and thats what you get.. so i dont mind paying a Bit MORE if the company is Good Enough..

    Do they allow multiple designs in the 5×5 or 10×10 proto boards? How do they route the slots and is there any limitation on how the slots are routed?

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Robson says:

    I am planning to order a board from them shortly, my board is also too small so I have to panelise it. I've panelised it with components and it looks ok… can I see the design for this board? What is the diameter and spacing of the stamp holes? Thanks.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars AlivisoBob says:

    Cost for the addition of assembly?

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mendebil says:

    very informative . thanks

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ric777888 says:

    Are there any US sources for boards and components?

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sweet Ali says:

    How to request you to get this firmware and design….. i am in Asia….

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! Jadin Andrews says:

    JLCPCB are offering free smt assembly now

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Leo says:

    You should be manually panelized the pcb, so you can get more board with assembled components.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars D Stanoev says:

    Penalizing through EasyEDA is not the way to go. It took me a few days to figure out how to make a panel that will be assembled with the components. What I did is, I first went to the board design and copied it and pasted it as many times as i wanted boards on each panel. EasyEDA than automatically adds designated to each component and those are not found in my schematic diagram or BOM. Then I went to the schematic diagram and copied and paste each of the existing components as many times as the number of boards I had on the panel to fulfil the BOM for the SMT. Also, I had to manually draw the panel outlines and place 0.1mm holes where I want to later Senate the individual boards by braking them off. That was a great effort and pain in the neck.
