MetOne Anemometer Fix… Finally!
Well, after screwing up the footprints for the IC’s on both PCB’s (this board AND the DS2423 rain gauge board), I soldered […]
Reworked PCBs arrived from JLCPCB!
Just received the re-worked PCBs from JLCPCB and the replaced IC pads look like they will work a lot better. While I […]
Now Rev 2 of the PCBs is in the works at JLCPCB
Edited footprint to extend pads I now have the updated the MLX refit board and uploaded the Gerber files to JLCPCB. I […]
