Typically PCB CAD is a very specialized program. Not something easily done with what most think of when you say CAD.

Jai: Im very surprised they allowed pictures. Most of those manufacturers wont consider them at all.

OOOoOOOO I see mine :P

Normally they do not allow photo graphs of the process for protection of their methods and other customer products.

So after the photos are taken, they are passed off to a QC department over in PR (I think) and they edit the photos and send them to me.

Video was out of the question in this stage. I am not sure if they will do it for the assembly process..... But it would be cool to see.

They are sending more photos of the masking and layout next week after QC edits the photos.

Sorry there is no more news than a few photos.....

UPDATE

Its 10:49 here in NH,.... day 4 of snow plowing,.... Im waiting to get my phone changed over before I take a picture of the back deck,.. but there is an easy 24" of snow on it,... i have yet to shovel it this winter.

Not much to report,... i know things are moving,.. thats about it.

Ive been stressed out over these a bit,.. trying to get them out and done.
Ive had a few medical issues,... one I have an appointment for tomorrow,... gonna take some of my skin from my left arm pit (hopefully not!) (but i know you all wanted to KNOW that :-)

Stress, lack of sleep, working stupid hours,.... spending time with my daughter,... busy winter! So much for enjoying it,......

I hope to have some pictures of the assembly process in the future,..... keep track of this thread guys!

UPDATE

Been going back and forth with our assembler (her name is Lacey) for the last few days.

She has been running connectivity tests between layers of components being applied to the board.

She did run into 3 errors,.. so I have been correcting them the last 2 days: one was a typo on the BOM that was sent in and what the Gerber file said. Quick fix.....

The others were admin issues,.. and in 3 hours we fixed it.

I put in the request (again) for pictures,.. they (hopefully) will comply.
