Binary clock prototype
I made a simple ATmega328-powered binary clock, and decided to have the PCB manufactured at PCBway. Instant Quote system is straightforward and made it clear what this fab is capable of. After I uploaded the Gerber files and paid for the order, I found a mistake in my design and contacted Catherine, who then let me upload a corrected version. The online system informed me of the completion time of each technological step, which is a neat way of showing that things is happening. The boards arrived earlier than was specified by the page, in a vacuum-sealed bubble wrap. The build quality is great, all layers seem well aligned and holes are centered. Solder mask is present between all pins, although that's expected for a DIP chip. Tracking number was inserted beneath a chip, so it won't be visible after assembly. Soldering was without any problems, the finish is of good quality. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this service, and will be coming back for more boards.
