Not yet, but I have some CSP chips on the workbench that are waiting for a board to be made. I'm currently waiting for new paper and some UV lights to try some tests with photofilm instead of toner transfer to see if I can get more reliable small traces first. > I'm at a cross-road in my design.

The larger/finer the package, the more important it is to have someone with a known process and x-ray inspection equipment do the install for you. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
