It's been a while since PCBWay asked me to test their PCB manufacturing service. This was a perfect opportunity to have the circuit board manufactured for the \u201cmobileSupply\u201d project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cmobileSupply\u201d is supposed to be a kind of power bank for the bike. The special feature is that this power bank can also be charged using the bike's AC generator. This power bank can also charge a device and be charged itself at the same time. Actually a simple ability, but not every power bank supports it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the powerbank should also be easily removable and rechargeable at a power outlet. So you can also charge it before the (vllt. longer bike ride).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now to the actual topic of this review: The PCB service of PCBway.com<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Order process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ordering process is very simple. In principle, all you have to do is select the \u201cPCB Prototype\u201d category on the homepage of PCBWay.com and after clicking on \u201cQuote Now\u201d you will be redirected to the page where you can configure all possible parameters for your PCBWay order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first question you need to ask yourself is: What do you want to have made?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the ordering process, all sorts of settings await you. For example, you can set the board material, the thickness of the board material or the copper layer. Also various different colors for the solder resist can be configured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, it is also possible to select flexible PCBs. This opens up some new possibilities \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The manufactured board<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The finished boards (in total there were five pieces) arrived well packed. In the following a small unboxing video about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
