I'm not in a position to take advantage of your offer. But I'm wondering if you can video the production of the uCurrent and post it.

Good proposal, however the Dave's uCurrent have been done already, we didn't video the production during that time

One suggestion, get rid of the video of the blonde telling visitors all about your company!
It's really, really annoying.  >:(

There is a special place in Hell for people who create websites that talk to me out loud without my permission. >:(

Edit: it says Click to Play. But I'm pretty sure it started talking by itself the first time... :-//
No longer active here - try the IRC channel if you just can't be without me :)

A blonde spokesmodel? I think you've just made a plug for them! No such thing as bad press?

I'm all ears....at least for the first 30sec.

Too bad about the run of boards.  Good video I would suspect.

Yes, you are right,  the video should play only when the vistor  clicks the play button. We didn't notice that when it was first done.

 Thank you. Your comments have been taken into consideration and we will see what we can do  :)

I posted a video here on making beagle bone and I saw one here for a PCB maker in Germany (I think). They are quite interesting. I guess it's that side of me that must understand something from end-to-end. Watching the process helps a lot.

The online quote works well and has a wide variety of options (e.g. solder mask colors).  I tried it for 3, 10, 100, and 200 units. It's competitive for the larger orders but expensive for 3 units. Not hobbyist oriented like oshpark. May be useful for pros.

As for the blonde, she has plastic smile and she blabbers marketing cliches. It's interesting that some find it attractive.  Must be desperate times ;-)

I tried to get quote on a 6 layer board, but didn't get far.  Probably due to not knowing what I'm doing and not knowing the correct jargon.

Many places won't be cost effective at low quantities, right? It's a cost issue for them. Other pcb makers group together small orders.

No blonde spokesmodel, just video the manufacturing process
