Fireworks, the first prototype PCB
Yay, today I made the first prototype PCB. Already soldered the absolute minimum onto it for tesing.
The final layout will certainly differ from this a bit. I did not know how painful it is to solder headers which have connections on the front layer. Thanks to swiss machine pins it is possible without funny chemicals.
Also, the copper around the via and pin holes are much too small. They make drilling and sometimes proper soldering very hard. It's just looks ugly too.
Further more, a new design decision was to use RJ45 as connector for the expansion to the electric fuses (connectors at the bottom).
