The ENIG finish looks so good. It even got a pretty cool effect with its own shadow. You have to see it.Also i tested the non ENIG with pressing the IC on the PCB and tried the NFC with my phone .... it suprisingly worked. Gonna solder everything together the next days.
But one important lesson learned:
On the ENIG one, the eyes have no silk screen and the edges look pretty ugly. Thats because my plan was to "hide" my lazy sloppy copper field with the silkscreen.
And guess what?
You cant put silk screen on copper.
What you say? "But Phil thats pretty much logical that this wont work."
Where i only answer:
Yes, i know im stupid, shut up.
In german you say i had to pay the "Lehrgeld". Which is a nice word for "the money you waste because you did stupid mistakes and learned the hard way".

I think both look GREAT as is! Nice work! I would not have noticed the eye outlines until you pointed it out. They each have a unique look. They are functional as well. That is a win. I like the frames on them too, but that appears to be just a holdover from production I assume. If you do decide to make a revision, that is what revision numbers are for. :) See my botched first board... :/
Are you sure? yes | no
Thanks a lot : )
Yes the frame is for production. But it hase been added by Aisler, not me to be honest.
And true, this will be the final verseion for the contest but i will definitely make one more revision. Just too many things that still annoy me .... still not perfect ; )
Are you sure? yes | no
