PCB request #44

Closed marcels1990 closed 1 month ago

marcels1990 commented 1 month ago

Hello,

i was searching for other PCB-producers and the agent suggested to update the PCB design: the vias on the attached file should be moved away from SMD pads to guarantee assembly quality. Can i send it in production as-is or does the gerberfile needs to be changed?

Thank you very much MS

This was my first time doing any PCB layout work, so I am open to any and all suggestions.

I will move those vias and post updated gerbers. However, JLCPCB did produce me a batch of trackers based on the exact gerbers I put in the PCB folder, and they seem to work okay. I have not been able to flight test them yet though. (I did successfully flight test an earlier rev of my PCB design, that was slightly less congested).

Thank you very much, i will post the name of the other PCB-producer when the field tests are ok
