Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I am having a very high rate of grief right now myself from garbage Chinese components.
Its just not worth the risk where if it fails it can do some real damage.

I really don't know if it would have made a difference, but my control board called for 100nf caps, 4 bloody orders in a row came at around 1/3 of their stated rate 30 odd nf, got some locally and they were all extremely close to 100. So there may be other gremlins at work on peoples boards. Maybe those ones that tested around 30 would have worked, BUT maybe they could have F'd it up good and proper.
So I test everything now. Shouldn't have to though.
