Check the ground plane for noise with a scope. Steppers are very sensitive to spurs and will step in response to noise. Resistance welders on the same ground loo[ can be a problem as can seam sealers etc. Denis M Manncorp

MosheSh: When it comes to ground planes, most designers are out over their skis. They don't understand what's going on or how it affects their design. So, they get massively conservative about the number of plane layers, whether they can be hatched o

I have....they lay down copper strips every 10 feet or so , attached to house ground, then glue down the carpet. The glue is filled with carbon filaments, as is the carpet itself.

If your budget allows, there are dress shoes made that are ESD safe. This would preclude the need for the straps, and the hassle of having to keep track of wearing them.

Leather is not very insulative. AFAIK a lot of good quality dress shoes are naturally ESD safe. (or maybe test too low.) Check the dress shoes with a tester. And I'm guessing that stapling the straps is out of the question.

Answers: The component does take solder, no problem We get a full barrel fill with an empty PCB but only on one of the holes, the other hole has so much copper around it. The flux reached the top of the PCB when I tested the empty PCB. The IPC-A-610

How do you keep a standard foot strap from riding up on the top of your foot when wearing dress shoes ? The stretchy part rides up past your shoe laces and ends up contacting the top of your foot which becomes uncomfortable quickly..... I know ther

Is it board specific? If so I used a piece of sheet metal between the board and the heaters to correct a similar issues, where a ground plane was absorbing the heat.

Does the thermal conductivity of a copper trace on a printed circuit board change as the copper oxidizes? Is the oxide on copper a thermal insulator? If so, should it be considered in an analysis of thermal resitivity between a ground plane and a h
