Buried Pad PCB Fixing

摘要

I've often said, "Anyone can make a PCB, but it takes real skill to make a bad PCB good." This is really just a way to excuse myself when I screw up a design. We have a wall in the SparkX area where we've nailed our bad PCBs around a corner (Figure 1a). These are all the PCBs we've messed up over the last few years. We've been busy. Each one of these designs (should) tells a different story, Many companies deny they ever make mistakes. Life is too short. We are unabashed with our failures. We nail them to the wall (Figure 1b) and tell everyone about them so we don't make the same mistake again.
