Manufacturing the boards

 

After meticulously reviewing the schematic and the layout, and correcting all DFM issues, the boards have finally been sent out!

Everything looked good, however the PCB manufacturer did warn us about pushing the limits of their plating capabilities with the 3mil annular rings we used for the 8mil vias. We followed most good engineering practices so we have high hopes the first revision but in the end only plugging it in will tell how well it turned out.
