Well, I forgot my camera for this month's BDO. Nonetheless it was a blast once again. Shown above is the product of my efforts! This is my newly etched power distribution board! It had a few troubles: the sides were not perfectly aligned and that meant that a couple traces that passed near pads got shorted to the pad when I put the component in. Also I left a few traces hitting thru-hole pads on the top side. These were difficult to solder. I learned that I need to use bigger traces, keep traces well away from thru hole pads and only connect to thru-hole pads on the bottom. Posted by Hello
