PCB Crown::Lessons Learned

• Avoid having structural components carry signals
• Castellations work, but mind the placement.
• If at all possible, make each component easily testable and self contained
• Don’t try to dual-purpose a component lead as a signal wire.
• Watch your line termination
• Put all connected parts on the same design
• Hobby Iron vs Soldering Iron: Not the same.
• Make a jig, or at least a good assembly guide
