The excitement of finally receiving the batch 2 boards was immediately tempered by finding one component had been placed incorrectly and so I currently have 50 unusable boards sitting on my workbench.
My plan of action:
- I'm working with the supplier to remedy this.
- I'll be placing a replacement (larger) order and requesting it be expedited.
- I've contacted some local companies with a view to having these repaired. The component in question is 3x3mm and I'd be concerned about damaging it and the board if I attempted this myself.
- Also looking at having these produced locally in some capacity to protect against future issues like this.
I appreciate everyones patience with this. Please drop me an email if you have any concerns or would like to cancel your order.
Above is a picture of the incorrectly placed component. This is the correct placement (from previous batch):
