Thanks, Chris. Maybe the layouter generated the wrong file. Anyhow, since he's traveling now they went ahead and started programming the machine by hand. Over 500 parts...


What's the error rate on "hand" programming?

Reducing sources of errors seems like a good idea to me.


It's surprisingly low. In the late 80's it was all hand-programming and the errors were usually zero. But we do not have a choice here because the layouter can't be reached right now and the stuffed boards must be at the client Monday morning.

It's 80% analog and I'll find a stuffing mistake pretty quickly. The only drag would be that we'd then have to correct it about 40 times.
