Hey y’all, it’s your SierraConnect admin here.

I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of topics you’d like to discuss here. Clearly, we know you won’t post here to ask what controlled impedance is when ChatGPT can quote our blogs and design guides within seconds. 😹

**So what would give you PCB chills and make you use this forum?**

You may now brainstorm.

Technical debates where there isn’t necessarily one right answer. Give us a stackup or routing scenario etc and ask how everyone would approach it.

What are you guys actually seeing come thru the fab? Common mistakes, unusual requests, and stuff designers do that make manufacturing harder.

Yeah that’s a good idea and I’d love to see that happen. Thanks!

Ok, I just created a Factory Floor category. The idea was to share behind-the-curtains moments from our fab and assembly but I guess we could also use this to discuss the mistakes and unusual requests we get. 😸
