Ik vergat een weerstand op mijn PCB-prototype – hoe voeg ik er een toe?

I need to add a resistor into a data line on my project. The data line is a trace and carries low speed data. A through-hole resistor will be fine. The pins for both ends of the trace are exposed, but how do I add the resistor and remove the trace?

If your PCB has a solder mask, you can fix this with an SMT resistor even when traces are close together. Cut the trace and scrape the solder mask away on both sides of the cut, over a few mm. Solder an 0603 of 0402 over the cut. If I patch like that, I actually make two cuts a mm apart, and remove the trace by dental pick between both cuts to make sure there’s a decent interruption of the trace.
alternatief, you can do the same and solder a PTH resistor, whose wires you first bent so that they lay flat on the trace. Won’t probably work as well on narrow traces, like 0.5mm.

What kinds of test is suitable for low volume PCB order?

I’ve ordered fabrication and assembly of small PCB batches (100st) a couple of times already. Each time the factory asked me if I want to do test on the PCB. But I don’t what to do about it. And I test them by myself. Vervolgens, the result of the testing is unacceptable with 15% soldering problems. So bad. I think I will ask the supplier to test them before delivery.

How do I use two antennas with a single Bluetooth module? (BLE repeater)

I am working on a project that uses small Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons to track important items. Is there a way to connect two antennas to a single BLE module that could either listen/broadcast on both antennas or multiplex between the two? Or any other idea?

Where should I store PCB?

I have received the final prototypes from manufacturer and all is good after our checking. And we want to keep it well. Do you have any tips about that?
