Castellated holes, workaround #11

Closed zigastegu closed 6 years ago

zigastegu commented 6 years ago

Thank you for sharing you design files! Files were not accepted by "my" PCB Fab so I sent them gerbers where EdgeCuts has some small ears. Will share if and how goes through image

It went through fine. Cutting 0.6mm material is easy Don't know how long HASL contacts for buttons will last? ENIG would probably be better

@carrotIndustries Should I create a pull request for different branch or on the master branch? It seems this option is cheaper compared to castellated holes although overall size did increase slightly

Great hack to work around silly PCB fabs! A different branch would be the best place for this.
