Re: New PCB board
Grashopper, you have been introduced to the are of the "greenwire" It is a rite -of-passage we all must pass. In the future, your design goals list will include no "greenwires" meaning no goofups.?

Re: New PCB board
I have a wire wrap tool. Never thought of that. I was wondering about a solid wire. I think I will try out your ideas if for no other reason than learning. I have Eagle mastered but was trying out a

Re: New PCB board
Autorouters are not perfect.? In Eagle, the 100% on an autorouter says that it's often finished, bu there are no guarantees that all the connections are properly routed (as in routed, and not an

Re: New PCB board
A typical fix for this kind of a problem would simply use a piece of wire-wrap wire (30 ga) soldered between the two points. You could probably tack the wire down with glue or just a piece of

Re: New PCB board
You used autorouter :O You did not check the results of autorouter's work! Just put a wire link on bottom side.

Re: New PCB board
Have you ever thought of just placing a wire under the board between the two points missing the trace? Lee, w0vt

New PCB board
I have a new pcb bought in china that is missing a trace. It goes from a resistor leg to a transistor leg. Question is there a repair that would actually work for this board. It is a quality tone

Re: PCB milling - getting started (light bulb moment)
Likewise, I discovered drilling 0.2mm holes in PCbs with a 0.2mm end mill doesn't work so well either! And it's a lot cheaper breaking drills than endmills :-( Mark.

Re: PCB milling - getting started (light bulb moment)
I did discover one significant issue causing problems with my initial milling attempts. Drum role..... :-P What I thought was a end mill was in fact, a ....... drill. Correct size, wrong bit.

Re: PCB milling - getting started
Hi Bruno. I've attached a couple of pictures of the (almost) completed board. The large pads on the left need to be drilled to fit 16 gauge wire. I also need to trim the board to fit the enclosure.

Re: PCB milling - getting started
Glad to hear things worked out. Care to share some pictures?. I'm planing on spending some money on a CNC. Not sure if I'll be doing milling, as it seems to deliver mixed results. I plan to use it for

After finally getting to spend some more time, I have a good PCB :-) I did encounter one minor anomaly when "drilling" but it was easy to work around. (The anomaly was the drill file generated from

On that copper tear out, are you using HSS (high speed steel) cutters? HSS will get dull in fast order when working with fiberglass boards. Carbide cutters and drills are almost mandatory. Also, a
