modern electronics is trying to work out why are there 3 versions of "SOP-4" in KiCad and if any of them actually match what you just ordered from aliexpress... (and none of the datasheets you can find ever explicitly mention that chip coming in SOP-4, just a dimensions diagram that does not seem match any of these)

ok, copper tape glass PCB test results are in. just did a small test layout with some traces and test footprints. exposure and development of the etch resist went well. 7.5 minutes under my UV box and development in water with a random amount of sodium carbonate in it.
etching went… less than well. The glue on the tape does not seem to stand up to the copper chloride etchant very well and there was severe under etch all around the edges and a whole bunch of delamination. might have to try a different way of attaching copper foil. one option might be to just use the same material as the etch resist as glue…
oh yeah, and even though the glue was kinda destroyed by the etchant there is still a layer of glue on all the bare glass spots :I
I need some help from those that have been to or live in Panama City Beach, FL.
Tell me your top 3 things that you'd recommend to someone who will be visiting in the near future.
Feel free to also suggest your top 3 restaurants worth eating as well for someone who will be visiting in the near future!
Good morning and happy Thursday!
How are we all doing today?
@bianca and I booked our vacation last night. We'll be going for her birthday in September. Where are we going you ask? Panama City Beach, FL.
We already have a couple of things planned that we're going to do while we're there, so looking forward to those things as well as some shopping, eating at some new restaurants and of course, laying on the beach!

New revision of the Adelaide coasters arrived. Interestingly, the solder masking colours have behaved differently this time.
I think they still look amazing, but not quite as nice as the previous order.
This map is based on data from OpenStreetMap, and includes the o-bahn, tram and train tracks.
Anyone by change needing a #pcb from #JLCPCB with either C3322939 (2x10 Pin socket P=2.54mm)) or C598603 (2x10 Pin Header P=2.54mm)?
JLCPCB didn't have these (nor similar) Parts in stock, Because of MOQ I'll end up with some spare parts::
2x C3322939
6x C598603
It's my first time ordering from JLCPCB but if I understood their terms correctly then they won't offer to ship these parts to me, but only keep them in a dedicated inventory for me for future PCBA orders
