Vegas knows how to take your money

Last night I went to find dinner. I found a little chinese noodle shop, ordered a beef brisket noodle soup and an order of gai-lan. Bill - $38. Same dish at Taiwan Beef Noodle house (I think it is now called Wang's) on Granville in Vancouver - $14.

On the plus side, there didn't seem to be too much MSG as my dreams were fairly normal, at least for me. You know, motors, lithium batteries, blinking LEDs. Good dreams.

Have to wait until the weekend.

I'll be out of town all week, so there will not be any progress until the weekend, but I did pick up all the bits to populate the cards today. Progress should be pretty quick when I get back.

Double sided card done

The challenge I ran into was I had made a double sided design that really requires good alignment, and also had not aligned full spectrums template exactly square. So I redesigned the board to minimize the top layer and be forgiving to misalignment, and very carefully realigned the template. I believe this will be functional.

follow up

So the double sided input card didn't work the first time. I guess I installed the stencil slightly off square which didn't impact the single sided cards, but made the double sided card goobered. I probably wont have time to try again until next week.

Why double sided pcbs are hard
