Re: [lpc2000] board warranty

2005-11-03 by Peter Jakacki

Yes Guido, without getting too deep into this thread, we all would like 
things corrected. Which reminds me, when will Windows ever be fully 
corrected? dream on.....

When I design pcbs I rarely include a bottom overlay. Also, pcbs go 
through revisions and may also allow for certain parts to be fitted or 
not. Since it is hardware it just can't be changed by the press of a 
button, so you have to make allowances beforehand.

Anyway, you get what you pay for which by the way is probably more than 
you paid for. Customers with very exacting requirements are usually 
charged very exacting amounts and I don't think that really applies to 
anyone purchasing a low-cost evaluation board. It is after all an 
"evaluation" board and not spec'd for space shuttle operations. If you 
need perfection you will never get it but you should be prepared to pay 
for it.
