If you had used seeedstudio fusion pcb service they would have sent you a message asking if this was correct.
They analyse the gerbers and find such odditys. Saved my hide twice 🙂
Don't know if you reverted since filming this video, but you saved it with the fault and didn't see you fix it before ending the video. Make sure you go back and check it before you send it off next time.
Why didn’t your pcb manuf pick up on these – rather obvious- errors and contact you?
Don’t they run a drc on the board?
I've done this. Moved an IC late in the game, didn't re-run DRC, sent the Gerber's off, got back some boards with a fault and spent a while troubleshooting.
You can't run DRC enough. 😂
green gallium phosphide LEDs (GaP, yellow-green) change their emission color when getting warm and when getting cold – but even they only survive a certain amount of bad treatment 😉
Getting ready to upload my first PCB design to JLCPCB. It'll probably be full of errors. Just a SMD version of a 555 timer chip, based on a project I found. Double side SMD, quite small board. I went though three versions of Kicad before I found one that worked properly. Wish me luck Julian!
Sounds like rebuilding the ground plane should be mandatory before sending it off
Great advert for using Eagle…
Will you not be remanufacturing the board? At $2 for ten, it would ease my engineering conscience…
I'd like to have one of those for current! Could that be rigged to work with a shunt? It would be nice to show a wind turbine is putting out! In trying to make the leap to wind power! And get a forklift battery! For off grid power for my house, they say they can last 25+ years with a wind turbine , and treated well, and cared for, I have solar already, and a 800 ah battery bank, and a 600 ah lithium bank, it would be nice to have it show green to 28v, then red at 29v, when it goes to diversion load,
DRC FTW
Thanks for the tip. We all make mistakes. We just have to grin and bare it.
Now ask jlc PCB for refund 🤣
I always add the copper layer as the last step and check the top and bottom layers by setting to fill and no fill, I have never noticed the invisible option.
Lesson use better design software or re-do pours when you make changes All the fan boys love EasyEDA. The perfect solution if you want to create custom on line files that could disappear in a puff of Chinese smoke. View the Gerbers is rule 101 in something external.
Julian, irrespective if the issue was your fault, the "bug" in the software, or JLCPCB's fault for not spotting it, the fact you made a video about it shows complete transparency and enlightens everyone else as to some of the pitfalls of designing and having PCBs made.
