Has anyone used their service to build fully-populated boards? I've been dabbling in making boards as a hobby but really don't like the soldering bit at the end. I'd be happy to pay a bit more for it to be done by machines.
- chrisBob 10y agoTheir assembly is reasonable at a few cents per solder joint. I am pretty sure the machine they use is a hard working guy with a soldering iron though. I used it on a small project because they can put down surface mount passive components for less than the cost of the shipping I would pay mouser. If you can live within their parts library there is no reason not to use it.
- Animats 10y agoThe PCB ordering service seems to accept files well, and the prices are great. But the link is hard to find. From the home page, it's not even clear that they make boards. Board assembly service is even harder to find. It's here: [1] The list of stock parts they can assemble, the Open Parts Library, is a dead link. It's actually at [2]. although there are several versions and I'm not sure which one is what they actually stock.
