It took me years to break my "Dings and Dents" module addiction. Some weeks I'd even send in multiple orders while telling myself this will be the last time. It was too entertaining trying to figure out why each board didn't pass QA and how they could be fixed using parts from pervious orders.
I learned a lot.
- andyjohnson0 8y ago> It was too entertaining trying to figure out why each board didn't pass QA Do they have a reputation for poor quality? I bought a RedBoard Arduino clone from them last year and it was DOA, as was the replacement (different batches).
- HeyLaughingBoy 8y agoNo, the Dings & Dents is specifically stuff that didn't pass their QA, but they sell really cheap. I haven't bought a ton from SF, but everything I have worked right out of the box.
- andyjohnson0 8y agoAh ok. I'd bought sensors and breakout boards etc from them and never had problems. Good to know.
- russh 8y agoI very rarely have an issue with a sparkfun product. The "Dents and Dings" boards are boards that failed QA that they sell cheap as-is without warranty. After examining a couple hundred "Dents and Dings" boards I'd say they are very strict when it comes to QA.
