Action Items

Updates

• @Joshua Alexander Board updates

  • Communication with Mo sounds challenging; we need to make our hypotheses include hand soldering as root cause

  • Headers soldered at 350º C

  • @Alex Moreno noticed a via cutout shape around vias that are typical in Altium vias but not present in Kicad vias that may prevent excess heat flow away from pin during soldering

    • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_relief

  • Success with epoxy and hot plate w/ glass bowl on top to trap heat

  • Dropping off more parts for assembly today as long as @Austin Patel and @Alex Moreno don’t find showstopping issues with testing today
