When pins look shorted but are not
Posted: 25 Jan 2019 14:01
So been trying to remove a shorted between 2 pins, only to realise they are actually linked on the PCB! :roll:
I am mentioning it here as its something I keep forgetting about and could catch out others. Moral of the story is to never link pins directly together like that. Always route them away from the chip a bit. That way, you don't get the appearance of a solder short, when pins are actually connected.
