Anyone by change needing a #pcb from #JLCPCB with either C3322939 (2x10 Pin socket P=2.54mm)) or C598603 (2x10 Pin Header P=2.54mm)?

JLCPCB didn't have these (nor similar) Parts in stock, Because of MOQ I'll end up with some spare parts::
2x C3322939
6x C598603

It's my first time ordering from JLCPCB but if I understood their terms correctly then they won't offer to ship these parts to me, but only keep them in a dedicated inventory for me for future PCBA orders

Vater hat mir seine alte ALDI Wildkamera gegeben, die ich fit machen sollte. Da waren die Batterien ausgelaufen. Leider ist das Zeug auf die Platine gekommen. SD-Karte wurde immer schreibgeschützt erkannt, weil der Schalter, der das detektiert, korrodiert war. Hab das Ding einfach fest gelötet, sodass alle Karten schreibbar sind.
Nächstes Problem: Die Buttons funktionieren nicht mehr bzw. höchstens mal einer. Problem: Die Leiterbahnen auf der Flex-PCB waren teilweise zerfressen. Ich hatte leider keinen Leitlackstift da, also wollte ich es erst mal mit dem Lötkolb...verdammt, das Trägermaterial hält keine Hitze aus 😅
Also #KiCAD angeworfen und eine eigene Flex-PCB erstellt und bei #jlcpcb (zusammen mit bisschen anderen Kram aus meiner Pipeline) produzieren lassen. Passt und funktioniert wirklich ausgezeichnet 🤩

I don't get excited about Christmas. However, on days like today when I know that two big boxes with #JLCPCB stamped on them will be arriving, I can imagine the excitement that some people get in December. Even though I know what #RC2014 stuff is going to be inside, I can't help but keep looking out the window for the UPS truck!

I've been sitting here for two fucking hours trying to get #JLCPCB or #PCBWay to properly interpret a BOM.

#JLCPCB fucks it up because they have internal part numbers. Okay, I can understand that.

#PCBWay because it has a broken captcha *after* I set everything up and manually clarified the minor BOM issues from their #KiCAD plugin.

And the broken fucking captcha deletes *everything* when I give up and hit "back".

Fuck web browsers. Fuck captchas. Fuck websites that don't save your progress.

I made a script that extracts multilayer board stackups from JLCPCB's API, for every layer count, board thickness, and copper weight option.

it translates the raw API data into a clean normalised JSON format, and also into Altium stackup files. the normalised JSON should be easy to consume if you want to build stackups for other EDA tools.

everything is pretty well documented, so it should be easy to modify and update to your needs.

Arg, #JLCPCB are being especially thick.

They have an error on artwork on preview when ordering, showing a capacitor rotated 180.

They don't seem to understand they need to fix it.

They say check the DFM, but that is later, and means getting it wrong when I upload an order.

One of the niggles I have with #JLCPCB is them stalling an order with a silly question.

A question about a feature on a footprint I have used literally hundreds of times over years.

Like the latest, the holes for the USB-C connector have no solder mask on the back of the board. This is because they do not get close to going all the way through the board.

Every design I have done is like this and works well.

Suddenly they query it.

...

Not sure I like screw terminals, but probably cheapest option for this (LED strip controller).

I think the #KiCAD export tool has changed how it sends parts co-ordinates to the export for #JLCPCB. Driving me round the bend.
