@Animate - Chris here from WAi (contributor) That's our plan. We already have over most of them in our facility already. Where do you think a lot of the part numbers came from ;)
@helhawary - Chris here from WAi (contributor) I'm glad you like it. Anything you particularly like or are disappointed that you didn't see?
@tomkinstinch - Chris here from WAi (contributor) As Sam mentioned about, this is definitely something they'll be working on. If you use some of these parts and have a known working footprint, I'm sure they'd appreciate…

@owenversteeg - Chris from WAi here (contributor) Any recommendations?
@jwr - Chris from WAi here (contributor). I couldn't agree more about having trouble finding the parts you want on disty search engines. The best thing to do is use the filters but even then it can be overwhelming.…
cottonseed, Chris from Worthington Assembly here. We've actually reflowed proto boards here with a hot air station. The trick is to get the whole board warm first and then target the gun (or pencil) at the joints. You…
sciguy77, Chris from Worthington Assembly here. We're interested too. Using this technique though, we've already saved customers thousands (literally thousands, just on one job) vs. quoting it independently. Try…
LandoCalrissian, this is Chris from Worthington Assembly. So many Star Wars quotes to reference. So little time. We hope so. Have you signed up yet? All you need is a Dropbox account. No CC or anything like that.
Yes and no. That can still exist, but many of those guys have been let go. Many of the chip manufacturers have been/were struggling to keep a float and FAE's were easy pickins. But the nice thing about having the…
Yeah, every stencil file gets thoroughly reviewed. We reduce aperture sizes for fine pitch components, "window pane" large apertures, round-rects on BGA's, all that kind of stuff. If you choose a CircuitHub approved…
Hi tcas, Chris from Worthington Assembly here. We found that when we switched to our super fancy high end reflow oven (that's literally 15 feet long) all those sorts of issues kind of went away. Stencil design has a lot…
Hi iandanforth, I'm Chris, CTO for Worthington Assembly Let's hope they are. It's a ton of work to even make this one little stepping stone but we hope it's headed in that direction as well.
Hi wyager, I'm Chris Denney by the way, CTO for Worthington Assembly Couldn't agree more. I really think it's going to happen. The EE hobbyist movement is really only in its infancy. The more people that jump on this…
It's hard to know which is the best option, build a brand new EDA tool and provide this service, or stand on the shoulders of giants in the past. CircuitHub has decided to go the route of allowing you to use your EDA of…
"Cloud based" was used because we just couldn't think of a better term. Footprints for part standardization is absolutely the goal. If we get a known footprint then we can guarantee a better yield because we know it's…
I couldn't agree more. That's where CircuitHub can help. We're going to work really tightly with them to provide constant feedback. Everytime we learn something it will improve the DRC. And since the DRC will be based…
seddona - he has. I'm the CTO he's referring to :)
