The Factory | Troubleshooting Reflow In PCB Manufacturing

Off the back of our first large-scale production of Pico Expansion boards, we noticed an unusual and consistent failure mode in some boards. This week in The Factory we do some hardware troubleshooting and try to find the culprit.

The Factory is a new Core Electronics series where we explore product development and all the interesting side-projects that crop-up along the way.
