There are 67 100nF caps and 7 1uF caps on the bottom of the board. JLC have selected X7R parts for the assembly. I cost $7 to get the the assembly done which is absolutely worth it to save a few hours of soldering. My time is definitely worth more than $1 an hour.go0se wrote: 04 Jan 2020 12:06 Just out of interest, At a glance If you go to 'Tools' Menu -> Statistics -> "Element" Tab in Eagle what does the breakdown of caps on the top vs bottom layer look like from the frame on the bottom LHS? Might be necessary to generate the report file to total them up more easily.
Agreed, there are far better things to be doing in life than hand soldering SMD caps on an industrial scale. I'll await the live stream microscope inspection reviewing the quality of the JLCPCB placement + soldering finish :)
i think no costs so much more to add active parts for one board if you add the cost of the parts plus shipping .but 32 euros one single ic ouch i think when i go to build one i will buy with at least capacitors plys cpld presoldered.terriblefire wrote: 05 Jan 2020 12:03 OK. 5 Pieces of 1260r1 have been ordered with partial assembly and some better PCB options than the previous order.
Sending 2 to @ChuckyGang, 1 to @Supaduper and 1 to @AlenPPC.
Keeping one myself obviously. I am going to personally use a -5 Xilinx part for the RAM CPLD this time.

EDIT: actually it’s a -6 CPLD. 32 quid plus vat per chip :/ to
