it has gotten to the point where I'm having to send this to JLC's engineers because after FOUR STRAIGHT DAYS of explaining to them that they must not attach edge rails to the end of the edge connector, they said ok, then sent me a review file where they did it anyway.
@gsuberland I thought I was being kinda paranoid about it but after seeing your saga and what they did to some of FreddyV's picomem boards (pic attached) I'm glad I've done it
@gsuberland … waitaminute, where’s that SFP footprint I made a while ago when I was thinking about putting an entire RasPi-class ARM machine inside a SFP
@leo I'd have to pay for V-scoring and panel removal then, which gets pricey. when you just let them do it for assembly they do the V-scoring for free, idk why.
otherwise I'd have to use perforations and manually depanel 100 boards myself. and I want good clean edges.
they haven't given me any technical info on what the problem is but by pure random inference I think their v-scoring machine can only do a single line, not skip areas, so to attach the rails to the further back positions would mean they can't v-score. they've said they'll need to "be adding stamp holes" which I think means perforation for breaking those parts away during depaneling. which is fine as long as they're in the right place.
