OK, I've got it. Here's what you should do: * Call your friendly, local electronic contract assembly shop. * Tell them that you are "Joe College", you currently build pin through hole boards, but want to start using SMT, and that you want to conside

In our shop, a very large portion of the mistakes in the shop have their genesis with someone one other than the person making the mistake. Often, it is a chain of events that lead to the mistake. How do your picture posting systems drill down to de
