Last week I received first industrially made Argon circuit board assemblies from the factory. It’s pretty amazing feeling when more than a year of design work is finally shining on your desk.

Argon circuit board assemblies, first batch of release candidate boards

The boards came without bottom side power components mounted because I had mistakenly specified wrong size bridge rectifier to the BOM. Its height supposed to be 8 mm but factory reported that their parts have 11 mm height. That would make fitting to the enclosure pretty difficult. So I told them to supply bottom side parts unmounted as its no problem to solder them to place in here.
