Oh, plus a dead NFC board because it's really easy to lift a 1.34mm long trace when desoldering the 0603 cap at one end of it 😀</p><p>However, I found that two of the cap values were wrong.

I'm guessing the reels got swapped over when loaded in the pick-and-place machine?</p><p>Anyway, broke out the <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/TinyTapeout" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TinyTapeout</span></a> QC stickers to celebrate solving the mystery of the poor antenna performance! 🎉</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/weeknotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>weeknotes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/debugging" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>debugging</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/soldering" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>soldering</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/ibal243" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ibal243</span></a></p>
