finally I did the planned measurements and it can be confirmed that there are short circuits on one board which isn't visible in X-Ray. Either they are very tiny whiskers or we have mixed up the X-Ray screen shots. Anyways there is a very clear pattern. If we have (almost) no flux there are many unconnected pads. If we have (too) much flux there are shorts in the middle. Therefore the most promising approach appears to reduce the amount of flux in the middle. This either means using a stencil with smaller openings in the middle or close them completely. I will discuss that with the production line and then I think the risk of building some more broken boards is no longer high. Wen can then use this result for final fine-tuning. BR and sorry for the slow progress. It is unlike software where we just have to run the compiler, download the result to the device and test. Within minutes... It is more like old FORTRAN style with punched cards where they were handed over to the operator who did run the task over night and next day you got a pile of computer printouts showing errors or results. Then you did punch some replacement cards to modify the card deck :) BR and thanks for your patience, Nikolaus _______________________________________________ Community mailing list Community@openphoenux.org http://lists.goldelico.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/community http://www.tinkerphones.org
