If the board is made correct, and the schematic is wrong, the guy making
the board can not be held responsible (or so it is written in the bible
;-) )

That's too true...

yes, all the funny smoke and tabletop fireworks... amazing...
I hope you don't laugh if i tell you i blew up my soldering station today.
The temperature display was off 30 degree and i NEEDED to adjust it.
i dropped the board on the metal chassis, power on (as always) and sparks
were
flying. Well, i can easily fix it, need to exchange a socketed IC only but
still
damn stupid thing to do....
yea well, i think i will go back to my soldering again.
(Good thing you can use the ersa ptc irons without the station on a
variable supply.
the temperature stays within 10 C and that must do until i get the new IC.)
