JeremyOur first batch of circuit boards arrived and they are beautiful!
And with the boxes of fresh components, it was like [insert your favorite holiday here]!
Pretty quickly Cameron noticed the problem with the boards. We accidentally used a 32-VQFN footprint for the AVR instead of TQFP-32A. The good news is that Cameron had a few spare Atmega328s in the workshop with the correct footprint. Disaster averted and now on to find the next bugs before moving into full-scale production.

Are you sure? yes | no
Where did your get your PCBs printed and what process did you use to mount the SMTs?
Are you sure? yes | no
We did a rush order from Gold Phoenix (http://goldphoenixpcb.com) and have been using a hot plate for the SMTs.
