While soldering up some prototype boards <br>
received from DirtyPCBs (Wherelabs) I found one copy of board A that had <br>
two feedthroughs shorted and one copy of board B that had traces with <br>
gaps in them (missing copper). Same thing happened before on boards <br>
from OshPark. I wish I'd noticed before I soldered the parts on! I <br>
guess I need to super inspect each board. The gaps aren't really that <br>
hard to see, but the feedthroughs I needed to buzz out to find. <br>
Fortunately that one was fixable. The missing copper one is quite a few <br>
traces and not sure it's worth the time to rework it.<br>
<br>
So, any sage advice? Is PCB testing worth it? Or is the cost of a couple <br>
of bad boards less painful.<br>
